I need a new double sleeping/camping mat as the old 'air bed' has given up the ghost.

I like the self inflating type mats but not sure the missus will approve of them.
Needs to be a double and comfy and not one of those flock air matress double things that you can get at Tesco/go outdoors etc

You won't find a decent double. Invest in a pair of Exped synmats - they're insulated, so you won't be lying on a freezing cold block of air the minute the temperature drops to below 15 degrees. You could probably lash them together, they're light/small enough for cycle touring or slinging in a bag with a light sleeping bag for an overnight at friends/relatives etc. but still comfortable enough for woman sleeping on her side that might otherwise complain about comfort on a 2" thick self-inflating matt.... not that I've learned that the hard way, honest.

If they are within your budget, then another massive thumbs up for Expeds.

It's thicker than a regular self inflating mat (so comfier), but MUCH better at insulating than a regular blow up air bed (which is completely useless in winter or for carrying anywhere).
