Hey folks a tip
When you have a hard time sleeping due to cold you might want to think about putting something under your "bed".
The air in almost any tent will be warmed by your own breath. The ground will not warm that quickly and drains the most heat from the body.
This is especially true for kids sleeping places, Do this for every kid outdoor bedding you make!
Unfold and place a emergency blanket under your mattress, you know those tight packed silvery/gold thin blankets that fold out pretty big.
Above that put one side of wool two person's blanket. Than lay the air mattress on the half wool blanket and fold the other side of the wool blanket over the air matress and secure the wool blanket. ( This way the air mattress is inside a wool mattress!
If you feel the wool is itchy but a cotton blanket over that, and than your sleeping bag.
This way you will not loose energy and you will sleep like a baby.
Also the best way for an air mattress is to pump it up in a way that when you lie on the mattress you almost hit the ground. The air mattress is never fully pumped up!
As a side note, this way of pumping up a air mattress is also known to help people to get rid of their lower back pains.
