I bought a large white trunk to store my infant niece’s stuff in th-cam.com/users/postUgkxNuLbiXpLQ-mKH5NlyjrNe88hiCk2N3Cg , as she comes to my house frequently. For now, it’s toys on one side and diapers, wipes, and other baby care items on the other. As she gets older, it will be all toys. I had originally wanted a trunk with a hinged lid, but I was afraid of her smashing or pinching her fingers in it. This will be a much safer option. The lid has great padding in it and it is actually nice to sit on. It feels very sturdy and secure. Looks like it can be wiped clean easily. If it gets abused by her, I won’t be terribly upset because I paid less than $50 for it on Prime Day.
Looks like a great camping shop, if it was local I’d spend hours in there!
This was really useful for me. Great video!
Last trip I actually put a single SIM on top of my camp bed, was bliss. That extra comfort with the extra height. It was 30 degrees out though so keeping warm wasnt an issue.
I used just recently on our week long camp trip a HiGear camp bed and my 10cm Outwell SIM .. i found it sooooo comfy!
Good video. I’m glad you got to the part where you say that a campbed plus SIM is the best solution. It really is. Quality of sleep is so important when camping. If you are comfortable then you can get a better night’s sleep than at home (quiet, dark, fresh air). But if you don’t sleep well camping can be awful. I use an outwell posadas xl bed with a 12cm dreamboat xl SIM on top, and then a good sleeping bag and pillow. Total cost about £300 but well worth it if you’re a frequent camper. Of course, I started out with airbeds and they are comfortable, but so so risky if you get a leak. You may end up stuck or wake up with a really bad back if it’s slightly deflated during the night. Airbeds are a bit of a false economy tbh just like a poor quality tent
to be fair, this is totally subjective and as with any piece of furniture - different things suit different people. I have campbeds, SIMs and Airbeds and I find by far that the airbed is the most comfortable, for me. I'm a side sleeper and have yet to find a campbed which is comfortable. Also campbeds are very narrow in comparison to an airbed. Good single airbeds are 99cm wide, even the Posadas XL is only 77cm wide and that includes the metal bars down each side. Where I am camping with electric my first choice is always the airbed. I have the Intex beds and the aerobed. I have 6 airbeds in total, all except the aerobed around 6-8 years old and still going strong. the aerobed is 3 years old. In comparison I have had my Zempire Slumberlite Pro SIMs replaced 4 times under warranty and do not trust them at all. I have a bad back and am 6ft tall. I find a good airbed to be the most comfortable and most supportive for me
Everyone has their own needs, their own experiences. It is not clear cut
good comment
Totally agree 👍🏼 all ive ever had with airbed is issues and back ache from them constantly going down, just recently came back from a week long camping trip in Norfolk with a camp bed and 10cm SIM i slept so much better 😁
that tent is like a mansion! I love it :-)
You read my mind. That's exactly what my sister did for her fiancee and our 83 year old mother. Bought a Studland 8 tent from your good selves at Attwoolls and my sister made two of the back bedrooms into one master suite, put our mother into the inner tent and filled them all with outwell camp beds with 5cm SIM's for them and a 10cm SIM for our mother. (I used my trusty Westlake fishing bed. 😉)
I agree wholeheartedly with @Explore Scotland, when it comes to a good nights sleep in the Great Outdoors, quality should be paramount over cost. 'Buy cheap, buy twice' springs to mind.
It's the Zempire Monstamat single SIM and their Chill Pill for me, absolute bliss!
This was so useful. Thank you.
Very helpful video, thank you very much
Just returned from a family camping trip in England on airbeds with 4°C overnight temp. We had 2 season sleeping bags directly on the air beds and were fully clothed in the sleeping bags, 2 layers on the top half of our bodies. Also had blankets on top of the sleeping bags. We were all very cold around 4am. Crucially the coldest parts of my body were the ones facing the air bed. I completely agree with this video about the pros and cons of air beds.
I am not sure we have the space in our car for camp beds but that seems the best way to go with SIM on top. Someone on our camp site recommended a tent heater which we would have space for so may just go with that as we have electric hookup.
Put a foil survival blanket with the foil side facing towards your body underneath. That can help keep you warm.
@@cmreagin thanks I will pack some.
@@simmer484 don't forget a hot water bottle or 4 disposable hand-warmers in the bed with you.
Hi.
I sleep on a 1/8th inch foam pad at 1.75oz. when I'm hiking. I have no idea why this came up, but it's an interesting learning experience. :)
Thank you.
Nice to see such a store... unfortunately I'm in the U.S. I appreciate you sharing this information. I prefer the cot with a comfy pad and a comfortable blanket or sleeping bag.

We have a double air bed and just got a Vango SIM to go on top. We're hoping it will work well together
Our combo is a Quechua Sleep'in bed topped with an self inflating mat (thickest one) bloody love sleeping on it
My trusty air bed of 20 years has sprung a leak (Coleman). Think I got my money’s worth so going to up grade to camp bed and SIM.
Depends on the airbed. Buy a decent one (which is not cheap!) and you can't beat them. I am disabled and need something which is high. Our king size airbed is brilliant.
Hope this guy reads the subtitles they are quite funny. I've now decided air bed is out going to try and compare camp bed to hammock now
My tent was 210cm depth and it fit my kids hi gear camping bunkbeds in it, and mine and my other halfs hi gear camp beds and sims in it just fine (i have a 2015 Kampa Croyde 6 air classic)
Doing that rn using a Coleman cot and a RIDGELINE SIM combo. Way more comfy then the twin air mattress. Idk if it depends but I was planning to get a queen air mattress maybe that also changes being I’m just one body on it.
In my opinion on the campbed, you might as well just sleep on the ground… at least it is softer. Airbeds today is not the same as airbeds in the 80s, but we are going to give it one last time. If they break, next choice will be SIM or just blankets and blankets on top of isoliating matress.
You can’t beat the old cotton airbed in terms of quality, it is a shame that they don’t make them anymore.
@@AttwoollsCoUk Nope not even close. And those were used for many campings every summer and sleepovers again and again and never broke or leaked. But lets hope these will last at least some haha.
I use a Pair of Queen size Select Comfort Air Chambers. I toss on a king size bed quilt, then real blankets.
So I suppose, I'm an Airbed guy. I'm too old to want to do anything but Truck camping.
Thank you
I have used an airbed on a couple of occasions when camping and didn't experience any of the issues you mentioned however, I didn't find it very comfortable as i woke feeling quite sweaty and clammy. I suspect this is due to the plastic material the bed is made of. I will be camping again next year and even though the mat seems quite comfortable, I will likely opt for the camp bed due to arthritis which makes it tough for me to sleep at ground level as I can't get up without some difficulty. I may by a mat and put it on the camp bed for extra comfort though.
I put a fitted sheet on mine and that solved the sweaty issues.
Air beds are fine until they go flat. *And they all eventually do.* You'll be on a camping trip one night and wake up on the ground with a flat mattress. And if you are not used to it, sleeping on the hard ground really sucks (and can be cold in the winter time)!
Thats why I now only use camp beds.
Wow, that is a seriously huge tent.
I have one in my house are they heathy for ur back full time?
Can't beat a Queen size airbed.
Put the foam on the cot 🎉😊
I wish I had this store nearby
It’s worth the journey, especially as we’ve just extended our showroom.
Hi, what's the campbed top left on your shelving? I've looked at your website and couldn't see it. Regards. Catherine.
It is the Outwell Posadas Camp Bed.

Great video!
Hi there, I did like the one you recommended. For 2 person, how much gonna cost me. I live in Belgium. Thank you
Unfortunately we don’t sell or ship to anywhere outside of the UK. I am sorry about this.
We had our 1st ever camping trip last week, i had an air bed and it just kept going down, the thing is space in the car to put everything, what size are the camp beds folded up and how small could i get the sleep mats folded, we loved camping...but i also need sleep...you're feed back would be brilliant
Michelle Byrne this is the bed in the video. www.attwoolls.co.uk/outwell-posadas-single-folding-camp-bed-p-2317
A lot of tents have 120cm bedrooms as standard. what's a good option for SIFs / airbeds to fit this format? as nearly all that I can see have a width of 130-137cm for doubles. For reference i've got a Vango Joro 600xl
I’m terms of SIM widths there isn’t really much options when you are looking for 120cm. The only thing you can do is opt for two doubles and a single which would give you a bit of room spare. 60cm per person is based of a foam roll mat but admittedly isn’t a true representation of the majority of the sleeping options on the market.
I put my fom on my cott.
What tent is that? I want it too, what is it??
Cesar Haro it is the Vango Ventanas II 650XL Tent
What are you in a big tent? If so what's the name of it
So the tent I am in is the Vango Ventanas TC II 650XL
what tent are you doing this video in?
The tent we have used is the Vango Anantara/Ventanas TC.
How much is a double sim?
Susan Stebila we have quite a few, you are welcome to look at the link below as it has our whole range there.

When I go camping, I don't bring my 2-storey house with me
Wow, never heard such a put down on a product as this guy did on the Airbed, bit dissapointing to say the least
Personally i prefer the air bed. The camp bed is too small. The last one is too thin. The air bed is still the best to me.
@@CC-gt3ro the self inflating mat (sim) will still be more comfortable than the airbed, esp if its a double. After going through loads of airbeds and now to a sim, I wouldn't go back. Just wish I'd have not wasted the money on airbeds and bought the sim first.
@@CC-gt3ro Unlike the airbed, the SIM usually has a very good insulation which keeps you way warmer than the air bed with no insulation and air in it that gets cooled down from the ground up. And you'd be surprised how comfy a good SIM is. 😉
