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

Always an air bed... If it was just one or two nights I could sleep on the floor but I would literally be dead on my feet by day 5 of Glasto if I didn't have something comfortable to sleep on!!

[Spliffman]

Used one of them self-inflating air beds for years. Light, tough and comfy.

Now have a campervan ;-)>

Has anyone tried those cheap camping blow up pillows? Usually just use a jumper rolled up...

i don't really understand why people don't just bring an actual pillow - you can get them new, rolled up into tubes in places like Marks & Spencer, for like a fiver. just attach it to the back of your rucksack or whatever, barely takes up any space, weighs absolutely nothing

Self-inflating mat - I have got two camping pillows, one fleece & one self-inflating, but I think I might get a cheap pillow this year!

I have terrible problems with my back, but I don't find it gets any worse after 5 nights on the self-inflating mat!

[FloorFiller]

nothing beats being able to lay your head on an actual pillow at the end of the night (and this applies to the real 'non festival' world as well)

[lucyginger]

I use an inflatable pillow. It's from poundland. Its great and this will be its 8th festival!!

Also use a camping mat but am considering a self inflating one as I get really cold sometimes.

I use an exped mat, the one you pump up but with down inside it too, and a duvet and a couple of pillows. Works pretty well

I took a double airbed last year as I sleep on my side so get sore hips otherwise. The only problem was that me and my sister rarely went to sleep at the same time and you need 2 people on it to balance it properly (I collapsed onto it one night and she bounced off the side; she got up for the loo and I sunk to the floor, etc...)

I've bought us two single airbeds instead for this year, with attached (but separately inflated) pillows and storage space so should be pretty damn comfy this year

£12ish from here if anyone's interested, I've bought a few things from them recently and all been good quality when they arrived (even sent me a much better and more expensive gas stove when the one I ordered was out of stock )

Lidl 19th & Aldi 22nd have camping offers on this week.

Might get one of the self inflating mat things some recommend.

This.

The two compartments for each bed man mean me and Mr peroni don't end up folded together like a taco or I fly off when he gets to go to the loo...

[jpeee]

Hey everybody, some good links in here! Dare I say it but creaking bones are tempting me into an airbed this year. And a real pillow ! Long gone are the days of my trusted denim jacket as a pillow.. (Arhh dreams of dead demin jacket).

By the way Kalifire, how did your exped mat work out ?

[neilloggie]

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?

[neilloggie]

Yep that's what I've got as well. For pillows, I bought two at Argos, currently half price. Tip: they come vacuum packed. Don't open them up like I did, because sealed, they take up hardly any space at all.

[Xenon_Katie]

Roll mat and sleeping bag... Though reading this thread I'll bring a pillow too I think!
