This is due to the heat-sink effect of thermo-negative hollow air mattresses. They are only for use in heated enclosures, because they exchange heat to be the same temp as outside air, so if you're sleeping on them, they're working 24/7 to suck the warmth out of you. A cellular foam mattress would need to be 5.0 R-value or better to overcome this, while a hollow air mattress (or cot) is measured at a negative 0.75.
But that doesn't mean there is no way no counter that. As long as there is no heat exchange between you body and the mattress you should be alright. Any memory foam topper would do the trick. ***Link Removed*** about how memory foam reflects your body heat back to you. Even though he's talking about back pain, it's still about keeping warm too.
