Our staff have selected the best picks for you. They recommend that you should ignore your urge to buy the cheapest one, but go for one that you can rest assured (in more ways than one) will deliver on its promise of a good night’s sleep.

When browsing through our camping air beds, there are some critical points that should be considered. For example, the material that is used to make the mattress that you’re looking at. Some of the stronger air beds are made from PVC, nylon and in some cases synthetic rubber. They are not only strong, but they are flexible. All in all you’ll get a better night’s sleep from them.

We like this Vango Hi-Rise air mattress. It’s sturdy but very comfortable. We also like the Outwell Superior Double.

One other point that needs to be considered is that you will need to keep your air bed away from sharp objects. It could be challenging to have it repaired, in particular, if you have spent that little bit extra on it.

Expect the thickness to be anywhere between three and six inches. You need to check that it’s good quality. Buying a low quality mattress can be a big mistake, it can be very hard and rigid to sleep on. Our clients say that the cheaper mattresses are not high quality enough to get a decent night’s sleep on.

It’s essential to consider the material of the air mattress during your purchase, it’s not just about the price. If you only take note of the price then you will be setting yourself up for uncomfortable nights and grumpy days of feeling tired – not the ideal situation on a relaxing camping trip!
