Is it for camping?
Personally I thing airbeds get very very cold when you are camping. The air inside it drops to whatever temperature it is outside, and so you are sleeping on something 'cold'. It can be very unpleasant.
If it's not for camping, then ignore me!
We got ours from BigW years ago and it's still going. Has a small hole on the side but we have put tape on the side and it stays up all night. You just need to replace the tape every year so so. Ours is a queen and probably the height of a double bed mattress. When we were camping (2 months) we had our sleeping bag that we put on top, nice and soft then the sheet and slept under a doona.
I agree with Lenny, if it is for camping and not in summer months then I would not use an airbed at all. I bought my 2 airbeds from GoLo and we use it a lot and have never had any issues becides not been able to get it back in the box after using it.
we have a coleman one(queen size), had it for about 3 years.... only had to repair once (after lending it out, was used on a non sealed wooden floor!) but last year we upgraded to a double high queeen size one from Big W (cant remember the name of it, but it came in a carry bag in a box and is light blue) has a built in pump too, just plug it in and off you go! so easy! We go camping about 3 x a year, the new bed is like sleeping on 4 of the coleman ones stacked on top of each other, I loves it, doesnt get any where near as cold as the coleman one (maybe as youre not so close to the ground?)
We had coldness issues with airbeds so decided to get 4WD self inflatable mattresses. Probably not an economical choice if you're only going once a year (and they're bulky) but there is nothing worse than rising cold in the middle of the night, and if you're camping for a week it's going to be a long week
