Because the two cushions are connected to each other and to the main frame of the sofa they can also be unfolded into a Queen-size bed measuring 221 x 193 x 66 cm. This is long enough for me to stretch out in full, and I’m pretty tall at 6ft3 (191cm). It is exceptionally comfortable and great for chilling out to watch TV or similar, or even lie out in the sun. We love the flexibility of the Intex, and for the money it is hard to beat. Punctures With all that space available, the option to bring along some luxury furniture is often too good to resist. If you are likely to have friends visiting your tent for drinks or there are a few of you camping together then a huge inflatable air sofa is a fantastic bit of kit for social gatherings. They are doubly good for just chilling out. The Campeze consists of three individual chambers which are physically connected but inflated separately. These chambers can then be arranged and rearranged into five different 2-seater sofa and sleeping options. For us, there were only two main options that were useful: a) the two-seater ‘high sofa’ shown in the photo above, and b) the full bed option (shown below). All the other options are basically variants on these but at different heights, and utilising different numbers of chambers. Key Dimensions If you’re after home comforts whilst away camping, then inflatable sofas can be an excellent choice. And with the increasing trend of campers buying much larger tents these days there is plenty of room to add an element of luxury.

Inflation is a doddle but there is no pump provided (understandable at this price). There is just a single valve for the entire unit – plug in your pump, switch on and you’ll be inflated in under 5 minutes. We wouldn’t recommend doing it with lung power alone (we tried) – a pump is essential! In UseThey are exceedingly comfortable – some people even use blow up couches in their homes as substitutes for real sofas. Where the Campeze comes into its own though is when it gets transformed into a double bed – this is simply achieved by undoing the velcro straps and unfolding the three chambers. Simplicity itself and an exceptionally comfortable sleeping station is the result. The set comes in a fairly small box measuring 54 x 38 x 23cm – this is the great joy of inflatable furniture because you can squeeze so much sitting space into a small storage area for transport. The combined weight is 10.7kg. The cheapest option on test, but potentially the most fun (for the kids at least). The Asab Double Pod is essentially two moulded apertures within an inflatable body creating what looks like a large pair of goggles.

Intex have a few different inflatable furniture items in their range. All their offerings are well priced with great functionality – the Intex Pullout Sofa in Queen size is no exception.

Also bear in mind that the Bestway is not that wide at only 1.5m – it’s not much wider than a single bed and so is really only for one adult, and maybe two children at a push. The Intex corner sofa is EXACTLY that – it’s a sofa which is best positioned in the corner of your tent or awning.
