I too think an airbed is overkill.

However, there's two factors against sleeping directly on the floor.

First, the ground is lumpy.

Second, and most importantly, the ground sucks the heat away from your body.

A sleeping bag won't keep you warm if it's directly against the groundsheet of your tent.

A basic rollmat is incredibly cheap, light, and does a good job of insulating you from the cold floor. It doesn't do much about the lumpiness, but that's less of a concern.

A self-inflating rollmat is slightly heavier, and more expensive, but is better in both respects.

I use a canvas camp bed with metal legs. Brilliant, but heavy to carry.

I think you should take at least a rollmat for sure.

I tried a few down our way but again, all green, so gave up and bought them on ebay - cost a couple of quid, but so worth it. have edged them with gaffa tape and made a criss cross net on them with packaging tape, so they're a bit sturdier and maybe stand a chance of lasting more than 1 fest!!
