I’m quite a long person (6ft 2) so my feet dangle off the end a bit, I’ll need some sleeping socks of some form, but lying front/back/side it’s all very comfortable and there’s no doubt at all I can sleep on this. Just about to roll it back up and strap it all back together, which seems pretty straightforward. Recommended! Good to know, hoping mine is delivered in time now, I opted for click and collect to the shop thinking I'd save £3.95 postage and pick it up over the weekend but didn't arrive in time so now have to hope I can find time in between work to pick it up (assuming it's delivered to store soon!)

I'm told they are excellent with a self inflating roll mat on top. https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/single-inflatable-camping-bed-base/_/R-p-309887 Have you tried it out yet? How is it for side sleeping? I've got a self inflating one at the moment that isn't any good when on your side. Also, can it be blown up manually or is a pump needed?

tazbang Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 IMHO... worry less about your sleeping matt, and more about your pillow! Don't get an inflatable pillow, especially one built into your inflatable matt/air bed! Clothes inside a bag are a poor option, but still better than an inflatable pillow. If possible go with your normal home pillow. Bulky but light and easily strapped to the outside of your bag, with a clean pillowcase inside. Failing that, this is pretty good - https://www.cotswoldoutdoor.com/p/therm-a-rest-compressible-pillow-medium-D2514005.html (p.s I've gone with various self-inflating matts over the years, which are ok, but it is the pillow that makes the difference) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get those vacuum storage bags which are cheap, shrink the pillow to 20% of its original size which you can then put inside your rucksack and it keeps it dry in case of rain (not that there will be any rain of course ). Ive also used it for a single duvet - both in the ruck sack with minimum volume Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CH0161 Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 Do they sell proper pillows at the camp shops inside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They used to (£5 per pillow) but it seems that Glastonbury is ramping back on camping supplies sold at the festival this year. Presumably on the basis that if you didn't haul it in yourself, your unlikely to be able to take it away and will therefore leave stuff there with them.

angelin Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 I went for the Berghaus single in the end. I hope its ok Ive never spent so much on an airbed. The Millets website says its 1cm deep. Im hoping this is a typo🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convince me I shouldn't send it back and it'll be the best £80 I've ever spent. Well I'll just put a word in for going with the thinner versions. My current one, like the one before it, is only about 3cm thick inflated and I get on with it fine. I sleep on my side and it keeps my 12 stones cushioned and insulated from the ground perfectly well. I can't help thinking some people converting from deep blow-up airbeds are thinking they need to go with the thicker (= bulkier) self-inflating type when they don't need to really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
