Hi

Not sure where this belongs but this seems as good a place as anywhere.

I’m looking for recommendations for airbeds. I’ve tried a few so far and they have not lasted well or have been rubbish from the start (not staying up)

Anyone have any recommendations?

Thank you

Thanks all

Use will be for camping in summer - Uk - only one or 2 nights with my son

Some use at home for sleep overs (kids)

Budget £100 ish

Looking for single air bed - well 2 actually

Just want something comfy, durable and one that keeps inflated - my current 2 north went down when used the other day

Thanks again for the suggestions

I’ve ordered an alpkit dozer. Should arrive in the next couple of days. Will have a look at it once it arrives and if it’s as good as it looks I’ll order a second one

Thanks all for the help..... really appreciated

Received my Dozer today

Quick question to anyone who has one. I assume that to self inflate I just open the valve and it will take a while for the first time it inflates?

I’ve taken the cap off and it doesn’t appear to be inflating but I may just be being impatient!

Thanks for the reply

It did inflate overnight but wasn’t really enough to sleep on. It’s impossible to inflate by blowing into it.

I’ve deflated and will see how quick it inflates this time. If it is hours again then I’ll have to return it

I contact Alpkit who suggested the valve may be faulty so I can’t fault their service
