If it is for a little one then make sure that there isn't a drawstring or cut it out if there is. I once found my then 3yo with the drawstrings wrapped tightly round her neck and she'd slipped off the air mattress too. She was fine, had been wearing her "necklace" but it gave me a real fright as I'd thought she was past that stage so had left the drawstrings in.


We got these ones after that incident and have had them for a few years and been pleased with them. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gelert-Junior-Sleeping-Pod-Distressed/dp/B00C20ITMM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1457543007&sr=8-1&keywords=junior+sleeping+pod

We also had the slipping off the mattress problem with a very wriggly 4 year old - we were on a double, he was on a single next to us, and I woke several times in the night to find him lying on the cold floor in the gap in between the two. After that trip I bought a cheap giant fleece blanket from Amazon to put on top of both mattresses and tuck under to hold them together. It makes the surface much less slippery, adds some warmth underneath you, and means he stays on the bed and we all stay warm and asleep. Some spare blankets to go under the air beds are also worth bringing - sounds weird but you actually lose more heat to the ground than the air.


(We tried just using a quilt for our first camping trip with a very wriggly three year old but were in a camping shop buying a sleeping bag on day two as he just didn't stay under the quilt and was freezing cold!)

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
