Camping tips for a novice
Discussion
Fleece blanket on top of the airbed is a great insulator and adds a lot of comfort.
Decent knife and torches.
If you can pitch your tent so it is in the shade at sunrise, you will have a more comfortable night's sleep.
Earplugs if you are a light sleeper.
Two single airbeds can be much more comfortable if there is much of a weight difference between you and the misses...
Insect repellent.

Used our new 7.5cm SIM for 2 nights at the weekend, surprised at how much warmer it was, not sure on the comfort though, seems a bit hard & it takes a bit of getting used too being that close to the ground!
Slight faff packing it away but nothing like what I was expecting having read various reviews.

OP,
a bit late to the party on this.
I firmly believe that you should spend as much as you can possibly afford on the sleeping.
A good nights sleep, means that everyone is happier the following day.
We use Aerobeds, which are expensive, but effective. Also, use ear plugs and eye shields. Block out the daylight and noise for as long as possible.
If you are only camping in the summer, don't bother with expensive sleeping bags, just take the duvets from home, if space allows. Take your regular pillow too.
In terms of keeping the kids happy, just choose your site wisely. The kids will make friends in an instant.
Get the kids playing the A to Z game. Give them a carrier bag and send them off around the site to find a small item for every letter of the alphabet, that will fit in the bag. Q and Z take a while!!
