> Using an air mattress is a poor choice in cold weather.

Not necessarily. Living up here "in the frozen North" one learns how to
get around this. I sleep on a queen sized air bed BUT there is much
between me and the cold lumpy ground. I put an artic sleeping bag over
the air bed and a foamy (one of those bumpy bed things), and then I put
a fitted flannel sheet over all. I also have several blankets on top,
one of which is another artic sleeping bag which I have enveloped in
some kickass upholstry fabric to at least look nice. I made this to
"hide" the sleeping bag and yes I velcro this shut, but that helps when
removing to go mundane camping or to have it dry cleaned. Since it is of
heavy brocade type fabric it also helps keep me warm.

Period? Definately not! Comfortable? Without a doubt! Warm?
Yesssssssssssss!
