Product Information

Inflation time: It’s worth noting how long it takes the air bed to inflate – it’ll usually be a couple of minutes. Deflation: Each bed is inflated to its firmest setting, weighted down with heavy benches and left for 18 hours overnight. Yes, it costs an arm and a leg, but Vango’s quality mattress delivers sleep quality worthy of its paradisiacal namesake. The bed did well to stand up to the kids jumping on it, however, and I found the large built-in pillow very comfortable.

IN-BUILT PUMP - Its easy-to-use foot pump means it takes just a few minutes to put up, and it stays inflated thanks to the strong and durable PVC material with welded seams.

There is a black bung in the opposite end which I hadn’t spotted and it wasn’t quite snapped in properly so was leaking air on both. If you wish to make a complaint or contact us, you can use the address above, or follow our complaints procedure. I tried sleeping on the side, back and front of the mattress and I was pleased with how comfortable the bed kept me during the night. Both the air release at the end and foot pump section is firmly tight before someone tries to tell me I wasn’t using it correctly. Upgrade your camping experience with a better night’s sleep on the Hi-Gear Deluxe Airbed with built-in foot pump and raised pillow.

I may not have my priorities right, but the first thing I wanted to do when inflating the Intex was to give it a stroke.

It also features a very subtle built-in pillow and raised sides that we all thought gave good edge support and made it easy to get in and out of. The bed also did well to retain its firmness in the night, needing only a little topping up after the kids had a play on it. Height: A taller mattress is likely to be more comfortable, as it has more air, but, of course, it will be more cumbersome. The plush raised pillow gives you a more familiar sleeping position, so you can skip the pillows and save space in your kit.

Designed for use everywhere from camping trips and campervan holidays to sleepovers at grandma’s, this simple and affordable bed for little ones is fuss-free to get kids comfy. In the morning, we note which beds have stayed firm and which ones are noticeably spongier than the night before. Air chambers: Air beds with vertical air chambers are more comfortable because they work to distribute the weight. The self-inflating air beds we tried go up to 48cm in height at the pillow end, compared to thinner camping-focused designs that can be just 16cm in height. This deflated within the first few hours and I spend the night reinflating before eventually giving up and accepting the cold hard ground.I chose a range of double, king and queen air beds from the likes of Argos, Decathlon, Dreams and Active Era that have built-in pumps and can be manually pumped up too. The flocked outer fabric is soft, warm and provides grip to prevent your sleeping bag sliding off the bed with you inside it.
