Air beds
« on: 20 July 2014, 18:18:32 »

After spending 5 nights on single height air bed, my joints, esp my back, was slowly getting sore.

So, I think a double height air bed may help....

Any one got a recommendation?

I came across this one, that seems to fit the bill, tho its got mixed reviews about it.

And as such i'd rather pay a few extra quid and get it from the likes of Tesco's, as it would be easier to get it replaced if it did leak  :-\

Think we have this one, or something almost identical.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/380778258244?limghlpsr=true&hlpv=2&ops=true&viphx=1&hlpht=true&lpid=108&device=c&adtype=pla&crdt=0&ff3=1&ff11=ICEP3.0.0&ff12=67&ff13=80&ff14=108

VERY comfy

Hmmm...Queen size would be nice.....but need room for HD in sleeping compartment....

Just put a bid on ebay for a single Intex.....cuts HD's sleeping area down a tad  :-X

I'll post the link if i win it  :y Cheers James  :y

I have a queen sized Intex bed like Jimbob's and to be honest I find it more comfy than my proper bed!  :y

We use the Index queen size one, we got the last from Costco for around £40.

Upsides - stupendiously comfy, and quick to inflate
Downsides - 240v only (so inverter needed if no hookup), heavy, and takes up the space of 3 sleeping spaces (going by tent manufacturer sleeping space sizes).

Im assuming all the Intex's have the same mains pump  :-\

Do they say anywhere what the power consumption of the pump is? Reason for asking, is, I have 2  inverters, one is a 150w plug in fag lighter socket, the other is a 600w croc clips type for connecting direct to battery .....

All the Intex ones I've used do, though they have all been the queen size models. I'm on our 3rd - punctured one, melted one, and hopefully this one will last ;D

I used a 600W inverter without issue. Entwood's inverter was squealing a bit, so may have been on the edge.


I punctured one of mine with a sleeping bag zip, it caught and snagged one day. For this reason, plus one of comfort if its a bit cooler at night, we often lay a thick blanket on the airbed.
