I've never liked them - but maybe I just have the wrong kind. I find that
I sink down in the middle and all the air goes to the outside, which makes
for uncomfortable sleeping. Maybe they make air mattresses with separate
bladders.

I have a pair of Therm-a-rest self inflating mattresses. Good for
backpacking and for air-camping. I sleep better on a Therm-a-rest than on
our bed at home. Kelly, my wife, doesn't like the therm-a-rests at all.
Different strokes for different folks.

Inflated, the Therm-a-rest gives you about an inch or two of elevation above
the tent floor. Plenty to keep you out of a little moisture, but nowhere
near enough if you have a leaky tent and a low spot that encourages water
pooling in one place...

I found the best solution for that is to use a cot that has about 6
inches of ground clearance and then the self-inflating air mattress on
top of that. Comfort + elevation all rolled into to one.

Yeah, you sink a bit
in the middle

And that's the deal. It doesn't take much sink in the middle to make
sleeping quite uncomfortable.
