A waterproof mattress protector is ideal if you have young children, as it will protect the soft top surface of your air bed from accidents and spillages. The mattress protector is essentially just a sheet with an absorbent surface and is much easier to clean than an entire air bed. Fitted sheets are also recommended to protect memory foam topped air mattresses. Stay comfy from top to toe with a soft camping pillow and an Outwell air bed.

A similar thing happened to ours, in the end it started getting to the point that you became 'grounded' and very uncomfortable during the night, we found the rubber around the plastic bung had perished through many times of inserting the pump to inflate it, so it had to go to the great airbed cloud in the sky lol, its final days being used flat for our dog to stretch out on the tiled kitchen floor! Caring for your inflatable mattress is easy. Here’s what you need to do to ensure your air bed lasts for years. Comfort and convenience are king for shorter trips and touring. You want an air bed that will keep you cosy all night. But you don’t necessarily need a top-of-the-range model, as you’ll only be using it for a few days at a time. If you’re travelling from place to place, you’ll also want an inflatable bed that’s easy to carry. Guarantee a great nights sleep with warm and snug sleeping bags and your choice of folding camp beds and camping airbeds. Lightweight camping mats cater to the more budget conscious camper and Camperlands also sell a selection of airbed pumps and pillows to make the camping experience a little more comfortable. Folding Camp BedsMake camping a little more comfortable with an air bed from Halfords. Inflatable mattresses provide a cushion of air for you to sleep on, keeping you sleeping soundly under the stars (or in your tent). Which camping bed do I need?

There’s no right or wrong way to camp, just make yourself comfortable. Most people either pair up an air bed or camping bed with a sleeping bag, or even your own sheets, pillows and duvet. If you're needing more space for your bed, why not consider getting a double blow up mattress? Get off the ground when camping and enjoy a comfortable nights sleep with a strong and sturdy folding camp beds that will keep you away from the cold ground for a warmer, more restful night.

Or, if you want an easy life, choose a self-inflating airbed and let science and the environment do the work for you. Self inflating mattressesAsenaldes - thank you. I have googled as you suggest and although images do come up I cannot find a single rubberised cotton airbed in blue and red to actually buy. If you have seen one would you put a link up please? Thank you :)

I think you can still get them. I've seen them listed, often under the Lilo brand. We had one for years. It just would not die, but was too low, and the pillow bit was very hard. Thank you so much everyone! Just need to find a single now lol Really appreciate all the input - thank you again - happy camping :)Unless your air bed comes with an in-built pump, you’ll need a manual or electric air bed pump to inflate it. Electric pumps require a power outlet. Outwell manual pumps have a smooth action for effortless inflation. We then bought a couple of Outwell Campbeds, which we still use today, either in the awning, or as guest beds in the house for when our daughters and grandchildren come home to stay. Self Inflating Mats are a high quality alternative to Air Beds or other types of Camping Mats. While they are usually thinner than Air Beds, Self-Inflating mats have an inner foam structure making them better insulating and often more comfortable. They are also usually more stable so they don't shift around uner your weight like an Air Bed can. Blowing up an air bed can require a good few pumps when using a manual foot pump, but most can manage this in a matter of minutes.

The right air bed for you depends on what you need it for and where you’re going.
