Sleep well Outwell

Advantages: nice thick bed for camping, inexpensive
Disadvantages: heavy, needs reinflation

...grudgingly relented, "Well, you can carry it then." What remained now was to find the best option (my main concern- weight. His- price). Various airbeds were assessed and discarded, until, I saw it, sitting nonchalantly on a shelf- the Outwell Classic Flock Double Airbed with buit in pump! I picked it up, it didn't feel any hevaier than some of the others we had looked at, and they had all required that we blow them up using only our lung capacity, or that we bring along a pump, which would take up valuable backpack space and add additional (albeit minimal) weight to our packs. I presented my offering to my companion, "and (at 20 pounds) it's cheaper than the others!" He surveyed the box, noting the dimensions (191 x 140 x 23). It would fit easily inside our tent, it was just about long enough to support my lover's height, and, while it was 10...

Review of Outwell Classic Flock Airbed

Camp well with Outwell!

Advantages: Durable. Spacious. Easy to erect. Bright & airy.
Disadvantages: None apart from being heavy (but it is a large tent!)

...introduce you to our holiday home - the Outwell Colorado 8 tent. (Don't confuse it with the Vango Colorado 8 which is a different tent) STYLE The Colorado is what is known as a tunnel tent - because it is tunnel shaped. Tunnel tents come in a variety of designs, usually with an entrance at one end, or on either side. Sometimes they even have all 3 options! The bedrooms are made up of an inner section with built in ground sheets and insect netting (a big plus point for me!) which hooks up to the outer section via a toggle system. Depending on the number of berths, the bedrooms are usually located at one, or both ends, with a large living area in the middle. The Colorado 8 (as it's name indicates) is an 8 berth tent. Family size tunnel tents tend to have good headroom in the bedrooms and living area. Sun canopies can be bought as...

Review of Outwell Colorado 8

One Monster Mattress!!!

Advantages: Very comfortable, easy to inflate
Disadvantages: Bit large for little old ladies, bit smelly when new

...just no way we could get it through the caravan door! The actual dimensions of this particular airbed are 114cm x 213cm x 47cm and it is described as being "very comfortable and easy to mount". They didn't, however, say anything about getting it through a caravan door! Once inflated, this little monster was going nowhere. Dad and my brother tried for ages, squeezing it at different angle to get it through the door, but it just wouldn't budge. By this time, it was getting dusk and dad was in a vile mood. Mum suggested cold beer and both him, my brother and myself sat down on the mattress outside and swigged from our bottles. Nan just looked on and moaned again (it's what she does best). Dad deflated the mattress and we brought it into the caravan to set about pumping it up again inside. The caravan was so small and narrow...

Review of Coleman Raised Quickbed Large Airbed

My Tent with Rooms

Advantages: Breathable fabric keeps cool in the heat and warm when it is cooler
Disadvantages: It is quite weighty and quite expensive

...I turned to camping rather late in life, only a year or so ago, with an escapade to the Isles of Scilly with my sister. While the trip and the islands themselves were fantastic, my cheap tent certainly was not. I had the bug though, and despite working in the hotel game, I found a real buzz from being able to book a week?s holiday for the princely sum of £6 to £8 a night. On return to the mainland, and armed with a £200 donation from my father in law, we set about searching for a tent. We quickly stumbled upon the Outwell Classic range of tents, as the local Yeomans camping store in my village has a vast display. I also have to admit I was somewhat seducted by the names of their tents, Bear Lake, Wolf Lake, Indian Lake, Norfolk Lake, Trout Lake ? all conjuring up images of camping in the Canadian wilderness with only a fishing rod...

Review of Outwell Bear Lake Tunnel Tent

An Excellant Weeks Outdoor Experiance

Advantages: Spacious and strong Family sized Tent
Disadvantages: Its not an Hotel

...Outwell Nevada XL Tent. A new range for 2007 but we were very lucky to pick one up at knock down bargain price, Three times year our local camping stockists, put a show on, of there goods at our local Forest Park, and the tents that are on display, are available at the end, at a vastly reduced rate. And we picked it up for £147.00. Including a few extra's. It was nearing the end of the season for camping, as the weather was getting cooler etc, but see-in my brother and his family also purchased a bargain at the same time, we decided to shoot of the following weekend, for a week in Aberystwyth's Cerdigan Bay, or as we now fondly now it as Tornado Alley. Considering we had never pitched this tent before, we found it quite easy to put up, Three equal length durable poles provide the frame of the main body, with another pole...

Review of Outwell Arizona L Dome Tent - 2007 Model

Comfortable, quick to inflate and doesn't leak.

Advantages: Each side inflates separately allowing for different weights and preventing sinking in middle.
Disadvantages: None really

...We are now on our second Coleman comfort bed as the first one sustained a puncture and we were too lazy to repair it! The best thing about this airbed is that you pump each side up individually. This prevents the 'sinking into the middle' effect that normally happens after a couple of days. It also means that you can inflate each side to your individual needs (softer on one side for example). The last time we used our airbed, we needed to top it up halfway through the week but that was all - we use an electric pump though so it's not exactly hard work! The other thing I like about this airbed is that it is flat, i.e. no raised pillow bit so you can use your own pillows more comfortably. The only disadvantage to this airbed is that it's quite difficult to get it back into it's little bag, and the little bag with our first...

Review of Coleman Comfort Bed Double

Choo! Choo! - All Aboard For a Good Nights Sleep!

Advantages: Easy to Inflate
Disadvantages: The sleeping bag is attached to the bed

...A couple of years ago when my son was a year old we were having problems getting him to sleep in a bed. He had a really nice cot bed but he would scream and scream until the only way we could get him to sleep was in his buggy. Now this obviously was not very ideal especially as he is quite a tall child and after months and months of him refusing to sleep in a bed we decided to look around for something different. So one day I happened to notice a Thomas ready bed in Toys r Us for £30 , a lot of money but it got me thinking that if we could at least get him to sleep in it then we would all have some decent sleep. ~What do you get in the box?~ Carry Bag Pump Sleeping Bag Air bed Instructions The airbed is made out of white PVC, you basically place it inside the cover you will find a valve for the pump and then...

Review of My First Ready Bed

* My Inflatable Friend ; ) . .

Advantages: Small, comfy, brilliant.
Disadvantages: Not as good as a full size pillow.

...the comfort I felt that night, made me wish I had gone for this option years ago. Thanks my friend, it must be fate! It is very quick to blow up as well as deflate, and very comfortable, I slip a pillowcase over it and the difference is amazing. I could take a real pillow with me, but I am more than happy to have this second best option, I love my little headrest. Features include: A Comfy Fabric Top I-Beam Construction Dimensions: 17" x 11" x 3.5" Navy (not sure if they come in other colours) Perfect For Camping as well as travel Easy to inflate & deflate A quality Item made by Intex, who are an international company based in the States, most of their manufacturing however, is done in China, and they produce smaller items like pillows and airbeds, right up to full size swimming pools! I suppose one day it will get a puncture...
