Costco have some fab ones if you can get to one and really good prices as well (cant remember exactly but it was about 29.99 for a double blow up bed with internal pump so single should be cheaper)

Tesco are doing a cheap camping range at the moment.

Superdrug are doing them at £6 at the moment I have one they are great, one side is velour which makes them more comfortable

Home Bargains have them also, cant remember exactly how much but around the £5 mark

I wouldnt bother with them you spend have the day blowing them up and half the night sleeping on a flat airbed.

You're better off with a self inflating mattress, they're a lot thinner but offer much better insulation from the cold and are more comfortable.

If you must have airbeds try Tesco, Halfords or check out https://www.gooutdoors.co.uk, they have single flock airbeds for £6, you would need a pump though as well. They do some that run off a car cigarette lighter for £9. The cheaperst self inflating mat they do is £9.50.

Depending when your kids are going, Aldi do occassional camping specials and sell mattresses. Not sure when the next one is but it must be fairly soon.

IMO just get the cheap foam mats that people have been using for decades.....only cost a couple of quid, nice and light to carry. And if it's for a festival the chance of them getting lost/damaged/stolen is probably quite high....

I've bought this one for Glasto it was only £10.99 and seems pretty good

try freecycle - im sure there will be plenty of folk wanting rid of old ones they dont use anymore

do you have a Decathlon store near you? They do some quite good ones the P100 etc range that have a one-way valve so they usually stay inflated a bit longer. You can even blow them up yourself by mouth that way Dont know if you can buy online or mail-order though

A lot of the cheaper ones can start to deflate overnight but the Decathlon one isn't too bad, but most of the ones I've had including the Decathlon ones usually puncture or get a leak eventually.
