Aptliton Inflating Sleeping Pad for Camping, 10cm Thickness

Purchased one of these to try out, as we usually use the regular air beds for camping but we are fed up with them deflating in the night, year after year – so we thought we’d try these out.

So glad we did! A bit confusing as to how to inflate it to start with, but once up, we left it overnight at home to make sure it didn’t deflate, then packed it back away, and yes jr goes back into its small bag without issue. We have just come back from a 7 day camping trip, and we ended up buying 2 of these for this trip.

Both myself, my husband and our 2 girls (7/10) were really impressed. The kids said it was so comfortable and both slept really well. I suffer from bad hips and back, so for me, it was very firm/hard which really didn’t bode well and I was in such pain, but that’s not necessarily the products fault, I just cannot sleep on a hard surface and that’s my own issue, but this is incredibly firm when 2 people are sleeping on it, but aside from me, my husband loved it – and he’s a fussy camping sleeper (especially when it comes to being woken up at 3am with a partially deflated air bed in recent years!) and the best part, in the whole 7 days, not once did they lose any air or need pumping up, it never even came up in conversation, they were that good, so in short, they both stayed up for the entire 7 days and would have no doubt gone much longer – really nice quality, long enough and plenty wide enough for 2 adults with space (I’m 5ft 11 and my feet don’t reach the end).

Nicely built in pillows, no noise when using it, you can walk across it and it doesn’t move or fold in anywhere, and we didn’t feel the cold (we always lay blankets down on top of our camping mattresses anyway)

We would 100% recommend this – but would recommend something else for anyone like me who suffers from back/hip/shoulder problems as it is VERY firm when 2 people share it and the air is compressed to its max capacity. Less so when laying on it alone and perhaps would have been more comfortable for me if I was using it alone 🙂

My son did Duke of Edinburgh bronze and was upset I had bought this rather than a roll mat. That’s was until it was bedtime. Super quick to inflate and pack away. Smaller than the mat and comfortable

This pad arrived folded and rolled down to a surprising size of 28 x13 cm and, after removing the shipping packaging, weighed 876g on my scales. The pad is constructed from an outdoor grade 40D nylon with an interior TPU coating to ensure air sealing.
Don’t let the manufacturer’s product name:- “Aptliton Self Inflating Sleeping Pad” mislead you… because this is not a “self-inflating” sleeping mat at all….. The pad DOES need to be pumped-up to pressure using a foot pump which is cleverly built into the end of the sleeping pad. Inflating the pad took me around a minute and produced a pad of 10cm thickness. The pad has the typical ‘box waffle’ interior air pockets seen on many air beds – and, under test, it provided a very comfortable sleeping platform. It is possible to link two of these mats together to form a ‘double mattress” size…. a useful feature since they can be re-packed and carried separately after use.
Indeed, after use, I found the construction materials of this Aptliton sleeping pad were light and flexible enough to easily deflate and re-pack it down to its compact carrying-size. Some air pads and mats have time-consuming deflation and refolding hassles – but that was not the case here.
Several days of testing have shown this to be a very capable and comfortable lightweight pad which showed no signs whatsoever of deflation overnight. An impressive air pad… but what a pity about the ambiguous advertising…

A nice quality sleeping mat that comes rolled up into a canvas size. Colour chosen was green, which looked suitably quite dark and in keeping with serious outdoor activity. The sleeping mag itself looked well made, with sturdy materials, and integrals studs enabling multiple sleeping mats to be attached to each other to make a double bed, treble bed — the sky’s the limit!

Advertised as ‘self-inflating’ which it is in a way, but does not inflate itself. What you have is an integral foot-pump which enable the bed to be pumped up in less than 5 minutes. This worked effectively, and the labels attached to each valve point make it clear what to do and what not to do. The foot end is where your pump valve is which enables air to come in, with foot plugging this whilst pumping. At the head is the release valve to deflate your bed. The bed also comes with a puncture repair kit, to patch the bed should the material be holed.

Size wise appears fine, one of the accompanying photographs shows myself lying on the inflated sleeping mat — I’m 5 foot 10 inches, and there was sufficient room as well as being fairly comfortable.

As normal with inflatable products, deflation needs to be well done before attempting to pack back into supplied bag. Thankfully this is slightly bigger than usual, so as long as most air is out, the mat packs back quite well.

Overall, a nice compact sleeping mat that could be used for camping or as a spare indoor bed for occasional visitors.

I’m really positively surprised – very good design. As you can see in the video you can inflate it in minute without carrying extra pump, everything you need in one small bag which which easily can be carried in backpack or be a spare mattress in caravan. After inflating tested it with my weight (100kg) and I have to say that this mattress is very comfortable I would without hesitation spend night on it. All air bubbles perfectly support a body. And now what is the best deflating, pack it back take around two minutes without a rush and after folding it back it fits included bag perfectly so you don’t have to fight to push it back to the bag. From me it’s a solid 5 stars as it will be definitely nice addition to my camping gear. Very good value for money. If you looking compact, comfortable, easy to inflate and deflate mattress you can’t go wrong with this one.
