I am off to Le Mans with my other half this year and thought a bit of comfort might be in order for a change.

Over the last 5 years I must have bought 5-6 cheap (£10 for a double) airbeds from the super market etc and they just don't seem to last. Don't hold air for any period of time, even over night and just don't see very durable at all.

When I was a kid my folks had some red and blue airbeds that were made of a much thicker material and seemed to last for years.

I am after a double air bed and don't mind spending a bit more on it assuming it is going to last a bit longer, just after a recommendation really. Thanks in advance.

Aerobed. Self-inflating with a chargeable pump, and comfy as hell. Intex is also another good option.

Coleman double chamber airbed has always been a favourite of ours, particularly as each side can be inflated by a different amount.

I would strongly recommend putting an insulating layer (blanket etc) underneath it - otherwise the cold seeps up from the ground, the air in the bed gets cold, and so do you.

THERMAREST,the only camping bed/matress you will ever need. Very comfortable and keeps away the chill.
They are expensive compared to others but they are worth it because you can actually get a good nights sleep on them.
