Sleeping Options

I agree with the pump. I used to use the battery powered pumps. I was not happy with the amount of air they would put out. That was just filling up a single. One set of mattresses I bought came with a plug in pump. Well there isn't an outlet anywere I camp so I bought an inverter and the pump and mattress work a lot better.

It comes with a seperate pump with a bunch of attachments. The one to fill t up is about an inch wide...so very quick filling. Drawback is it is only AC. Power inverter solves the problem, however, I have an ac dc rechargable coleman pump that works great on it as well.

We love our airmattress!

I did some research,and I found this, self-inflating sleep pad.

Combined with a double wide cot, sounds like a good idea on paper(or screen in this case).

Anybody use those self-inflating air pad? Pros/Cons?

I have one of those for when I'm camping solo. Better then being on solid ground but still a little hard for my liking. I'm sure it would work nice on a cot.

To back up with Chuck said, I'd say to get the thickest sleep pad that they make.

I have some old thermarest pads and the last time we went camping I petitioned to come home early. I think it all depends on what you're used to. Thanks to Tammy we have the best mattress in the world at home, so I've become quite spoiled when it comes to sleeping comfort this past year.

Before I met my boyfriend, I was using a single tent-cot. You'd be surprised at how comphy they are. They come in a queen size as well and are pretty spacious. Maybe you should go to a store and test one out? I believe the bigger ones are around $300.

We're in a pop-up now..they're pretty affordable used and easy to set up and haul.

Youre welcome?

We have the sleep number bed at home, and it makes you hate sleeping anywhere else! The Aerobed is as close as I can come to a travel Sleep Number Bed
