Stunning for an air bed ! Has been full time for 3 months. reviewed on May 20, 2014 Later for visitors it blows up in 3 minutes. They still leak a bit. The bed is cool in autumn and warm in summer. The best way is to put a good topper under your bottom sheet. Ours is a fitted one which is great. At first I just put a big mink blanket under the topper which worked well and have me the idea of good insulation so you are not hot or cold as your environment.
Great bed for extra visitors or visiting others reviewed on Jan 14, 2013 Comfortable, easy to inflate and deflate, inbuilt pump, storage bag Wide price fluctuations, 240V is required Hi All, I tried DANOZ direct and they returned a zero for airbed and bestway on their site. posted on Apr 13, 2014CHOICE members often ask us to test mattresses in our labs, but personal preference is also a huge factor when buying one, so shopping around and doing a little research is essential. See our mattress buying guide for tips, check out our mattress industry pricing investigation and ask friends and family about what they like, too. Interested in a "bed-in-a-box" foam and latex mattresses? Our 2017 mattress review looks at five popular mattresses from brands like Koala, and compares them with a traditional innersping Sealy. Our 2015 mattress satisfaction survey forms part of our annual reliability survey, which asks thousands of members about the products they own, including TVs, fridges, vacuum cleaners, robot vacuum cleaners, steam mops, juicers, smartphones, washing machines and hot water systems.
In April and May 2015, we asked more than 5000 people who'd bought a new mattress to tell us: when they'd bought it the mattress brand and type (such as inner-spring, latex, memory foam) what the pillow top is made from (if applicable) how much they spent on the mattress how they would rate the mattress on a seven-point scale from "excellent" to "terrible" (categories are weighted to calculate the satisfaction score) whether they experienced any major or minor problems with the mattress and if so, what were the main issues? Tempur and Madison owners are more satisfied than owners of other brands. However, most mattress owners are happy overall regardless of brand, with 74% of people rating them either excellent or very good. % of owners reporting a problem* Sample size in brackets. *Base: Up to first eight years of ownership. Out of all mattresses, 49% have a pillow-top, which is the additional padding sewn onto the top of the mattress.
The most popular types of pillow tops are cotton, memory foam, wool and latex. When asked about mattress types, inner-spring was overwhelmingly popular. What type of mattress do you have? Other foam (eg polyurethane) In the first eight years of ownership, only 4% of mattress owners reported a major problem and only 16% had any problem at all. Of those with problems, the most common complaint was sinking and sagging (59%). Other complaints include back pain and being hot (memory foam owners were less likely to complain of sagging, but were more likely to have complaints about being hot). Is it worth paying more for a mattress? People who spend less than $500 on a mattress are significantly less happy with their mattress on average, but once you get over this amount we found it has very little impact on satisfaction. Most people tend to spend between $1000 and $2000 on a mattress, and it always pays to negotiate. Check out our 2017 investigation into mattress industry pricing for more.

Not so nowadays, with decent ones sending you swiftly off into the land of nod. Whether you want one for camping, sleepovers or just for the rellies staying over once in a while, our guide will help you find the right one for your needs.
If you’re after a high-performance option for serious camping trips, you’ll probably want an air mat, in which case consider whether it’s self-inflatable or you have to blow it up yourself. Check the sizing too – some are on the narrow side – and how small and light it is to carry during the day. If it’s for kids, there are dedicated air beds available, that are well worth checking out. And for adults in the home environment, remember bigger usually means better – and that’s not just width, but height, with some now as tall as regular beds, with similar comfort levels. Consider how fast and easy it is to inflate and deflate, as well as how robust it is – you don’t want one that works wonders for a few nights, then punctures, leaving your guests waking up on a cold, stone floor. Above all, check it’s comfortable. Every air bed claims to be snug and relaxing, but many are anything but. The best ones are well crafted with high quality air chambers and top layers consisting of the likes of memory foam, as well as allowing you to adjust the firmness or softness of the mattress.
As with any mattress, you ultimately want one that supports your body, while providing enough “give” to conform to your natural shapes and curves. 1. Vango Flocked Airbed: From £25, Vango Who says you need to miss out on a headboard, just because you’re on an air bed? This bed, which is available in various sizes, has a headboard that also inflates. It’s comfortable and holds its air, even with reasonably heavy sleepers, and is pretty resistant to puncture. It packs back into the bag pretty easily and has a soft, flocked surface. 2. Aerobed Activeplus Dual Zone: £89.99, Ibex Camping Prefer a softer or firmer mattress to your partner? No need to argue anymore, with this high-quality, dual-control air bed that means you can inflate your side just as you like it. There’s plenty of room for two adults and it has built in pillows, although we found we needed our own as well. It inflates in less than a minute, deflating in even less time. 3. ReadyBed Deluxe Airbed Junior: £49.99, Amazon
No need for kids to miss out on the fun with this junior bed that also has a cotton, machine washable sleeping bag built into it. There are plenty of cheaper ReadyBeds, with themes ranging from The Gruffalo to Frozen, but for durability and comfort, we think this extra deep mattress is worth the money. Suitable from three years. 4. Intex Ultra Day Bed Lounge: £60, Tesco No need to save the luxury air bed for night-time with this funky purple day bed that looks as though it’s straight out of an Austin Powers movie. The backrest is detachable and there’s plenty of room for two people. The velvety finish means you can lie straight on it and the reinforced laminated bottom means it’s suitable for outdoors too. It’s easy to inflate and deflate and has good support, but you’ll need a separate pump. 5. Coleman Durarest Raised Double: £89.99, Go Outdoors Launched last year, this bed is available as a single, double and – our favourite – a raised double.
Despite weighing just 3.5kg and storing into a tiny carry wrap, it’s huge when inflated, standing almost half a metre off the ground. Inflating within just six minutes into a robust, puncture-proof but extremely comfortable bed – even for two - with a velvety finish, it lacks that plastic smell that many air beds have. 6. EZ Bed: £159, JML Direct Unusually, this comes in a huge, wheeled storage box that you unzip, plug into the mains and watch as a full size air bed – complete with proper metal frame – reveals itself within around three minutes. It’s a joy to lie on, with just the right amount of bounce and it is just as simple to set the dial to deflate and fold itself up. We found it lasted well too. Available in single or double. 7. Outwell Dreamboat: £120, Go Outdoors Self-inflating mats are ideal for campers as they are much easier to store and carry in backpacks than full air beds. This is one of the most advanced self-inflating mats out there, with quick inflation, superb comfort and support during sleep, along with extra depth and width, despite it just being a single.
All this, and yet it’s one of the lightest and smallest on the market to carry. 8. Aerobed Luxury Inflatable Guest Bed: From £179.99, Bensons for Beds This is as good as a proper bed, in terms of stability, bounce, comfort and height, which Aerobed claims is all down to the four-layer construction. You can inflate, adjust and deflate with just one touch, so there’s no need to hold a button down. It comes in a handy carry bag which is great for storage and travel. Available in single, king and double. 9. Campingaz Covertible Quickbed: £34.99, Argos This comes as a set of two single mattresses that can be used independently or zipped together to make a double bed. Or you can stack one on top of the other to make a higher mattress. They inflate in just two minutes with an electric pump and although the mattresses look a bit thin and flimsy at 19cm, they are surprisingly comfortable and lose very little air in the night. Great for those in need of versatility. 10. Snugpack Premium Airmat: £39.95, Snugpak
This affordable single air mat has a brushed effect – and the base has a non-stick surface – both ensuring that you and the mattress don’t roll about. It packs pretty small into the stuff sac and is light at 500g, as well as being very comfy for the price. It’s quite narrow, though, and stick to lying on it, rather than sitting. It isn’t self-inflating, so you’ll need to get your lungs into action to blow it up, which might be tiring after a full day of hiking. 11. Outwell Cubitura: £49.99, Amazon This single air bed is supremely comfortable, thanks to it having a quilted microfibre topper. We found it soft, but supportive and a good pack size. It’s easy to clean, thanks to the removable foam insert and machine washable cover. It keeps your body temperature on an even keel too, rather than leaving you hot and sticky at night. 12. Robens Prima Core: £79.99, Robens This compact air bed isn’t the lightest on the market (although it is one of the smallest), but it’s well worth carrying the extra few hundred grams in your camping backpack for a decent night’s kip.
