Default Quality Air Mattresses

Can you recommend some good air mattresses for camping, or for general outdoor use? I'm looking to gear up well this year, so I'm figuring out all the options at the moment.

The one I like best is a Coleman Double Pillow. I can't remember the exact name but it airs up with a little pump that has batteries and takes very little effort. It wasn't very expensive and I think I got it at Gander Mountain or Cabelas.

I bet we have the same one. Mine is a Coleman queen size pillow top. I just bought the rechargeable pump separately. It is a really nice mattress.

You're not going to go hike-in camping with an air mattress, are you? Those things weight a ton! If you're car camping, they're great. If you plan on doing any backpacking, though, I'd recommend a sleeping pad. They even make air sleeping pads nowadays. Look into Thermarest.
