So...what do you sleep on?

[The Other Steve]

Last year I bought a cheapo air-bed from Go Outdoors but is wasn't the best in terms of comfort.

What do you sleep on (mat, nothing, air-bed, camp bed, etc) and any advice on which is the best?

Sleep?

[nowyouregideon]

Just a camping matt and sleeping bag. I know a lot of people don't bother with the matts because of how thin they are, then end up freezing because they don't get they are for warmth and not comfort.

blow up mattress for me. just always have to make sure that i blow it all the way up the moment i get there (well, after the tent's been set up of course) otherwise i end up getting too pissed and never get round to actually blowing it up. always found them comfortable - well, more comfortable than a roll matt / nothing

[Wellyboot]

Nothing just the bottom of me sleeping bag

airbed everytime I just can't sleep on just a camping mat for 5 days - not a natural born camper unfortunately

Normally it was just sleeping bag on a floor of my tent (only the last three years, before that it was a camper van bed), last year though I used a single camp bed, roll mat on the camp bed and then my sleeping bag and a proper pillow. I love partying into the night but try to get a decent few hours sleep each day.

The air bed was a revelation last year and I wouldn't be without it. A comfy sleep makes the festival so much more pleasurable!

Double bed in a 18 foot tipi with fresh flowers .......

Vango self inflatable mattress, they're the bee's knees.

[math125]

inflatable mattress for me too. Got a decent one they just suit me better. Anyone here got a dodgy back? If so what do you prefer?

[morph100]

Motorhome can get a solid 8 hours if needed in the peace and quiet

When I camped it was always a decent blow up double airbed, with a double sleeping bag with an inner liner and a couple of good pillows. Even though I was sleeping solo I never liked being contained in a single sleeping bag. And the pillows made such a difference rather than rolling up a bundle of clothes.

[Mollyanne&Mike]

Double air bed, with a fleece blanket. Then a double sleeping bag and proper pillows for us!

[prestonmike]

ive got a self inflating mattress, lasted me 5 glastonburys but think I may need a new one, its started going down during the nights now, last year I took a proper pillow for the first time, made a massive difference! will never do a festival without a proper pillow again

[stuartbert two hats]

... will never do a festival without a proper pillow again

[dibbul]

Air bed.Agree with Floor filler- You must blow up properly on arrival as otherwise you somehow never quite seem to get round to it

If they ever come back into stock, get yourself an Alpkit Sleeping Mat!

I personally believe that there is little point in a matt/airbed unless you desperately need the comfort. If you're worried about the cold ground then you need to invest in a better sleeping bag. I find a good enough sleeping bag sorts out the comfort and warmth aspects just fine
