Had one of their older models, never sold something on so quick. Much prefer an inflatable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are pricey. These airbed companies are certainly heightest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlastoSlug95 Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 Just bought this double 10cm Berhaus bed [here] for £127 which turned up today. V quick to inflate and seems v comfy from an initial test. Bulky but not super heavy. So hoping it lasts as obviously not cheap and will be better than being bounced around in the night by my partner (rolling in his sleep get your mind out of the gutter!)

ThatCubT Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 Any recommendations for a bed setup that will keep me comfy and warm? I am travelling via Train and Bus so don't have endless space, but really want to ensure I have quality sleep as I'll be on site for a full week.

a6l6e6x Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 Have a very generic air bed, anyone just take a duvet instead of sleeping bags? Or maybe just blankets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am travelling via Train and Bus so don't have endless space, but really want to ensure I have quality sleep as I'll be on site for a full week. If you're on public transport, I'd be opting for things that take up minimal space - and ideally can be attached to your bag - basic camping pillow (can add additional makeshift support to that when you're there), half decent sleeping bag and a half decent self-inflating mat. All three of those should attach to a proper camping bag, in theory. No hand space taken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m oxfamming, so will be parked only a short distance from the car: I think a duvet could be a brilliant idea, sleeping bags are crap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got the single version of this, it’s really comfy. I’m taking it with me on the coach and sacrificing clothes and beer if I have to.

Obviously these were the days when cars were allowed in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Other Steve Posted June 7, 2022 Report Share Posted June 7, 2022 I use a self inflating mattress but 10cm depth as I find the 3cm & 5cm ones are not comfy enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a mattress from an IKEA sofa bed. It was a foam one, so it just about fit into the back of the car with the seats down when rolled in half. We were stating in Worthy View so getting it from the car park to the tent was doable (no way I could have lugged onsite form the normal car parks). We bought king sized duvet and pillows too. It fit quite snugly into the pre-erected tent at Worthy View. Also where we were sited was behind a hill which blocked out the sound of the fest. So when in the tent it felt like sleeping in a proper bed. I have never slept so well at a festival. There were times late at night when I feeling a bit weary when I started to think, actually I quite fancy going back to the tent for a cosy sleep. That's not a feeling I have ever had at a festival before or since! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd go for the first link (10cm) if I was in the market for a new one. That's a good price too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
