What I Like:
=========
Comfort-wise I would give rate the mat above average and the convenience of an all-in-one solution makes it extremely useful for singles. It took me more than several minutes to inflate the mat but it was not too much effort and it remained inflated for the three days that I used it for.
What I am not so keen on
====================
The inflated pillow is not ideal. When camping I either sleep without a pillow or put something very soft under my head. The pillow is inflated with the entire mat and therefore firm. Fortunately I was able to avoid using the pillow as I am not quite 200cm long.
The slippy outer material is a bit unusual for sleeping on. I wrapped a blanket around the entire mat to both retain heat and make it less slippy.
At the time of writing this review the cost is on the button, and overall I would recommend the mat both for camping as well as for putting guests up at home when available space is low.
This sleeping pad has been a great asset for camping. Its size comfortably accommodates two, and the self-inflating feature is convenient. The built-in pillow adds to the comfort, making outdoor sleeping more enjoyable.
Not the thickest but better than a camping mat. We use as an extra cushion if guest to come round. So far no issues with it not staying pumped up.
Once inflated this was pretty comfortable. We (two adults) tested this by sleeping on it on a carpeted floor for a night. It did feel a bit wobbly – as one person turned over, the other jiggled about a bit – but we slept reasonably well. At 121cm wide, it will fit in our campervan pop top and we plan to use this on top of the thin mattress already in the pop top instead of the memory foam mattress we normally use as this is so much more compact to store.. The mattress pillows are pretty good.
It’s quite a shiny, slippy surface. We covered it with a thin duvet which didn’t really stay in place through the night. A single sheet tucked in underneath would probably be better and I’ll use that next time.
Deflation and packing away was fairly easy. The valves in the mattress are two-layered: pull the cap off and it’s a one way, air-in valve, and pull the next layer off and it opens up a big hole which gushes out air very quickly. The instructions say to keep these pillow valves on the inside when folding and rolling up, but I found I had to stop a few times to open the valves up again to let the last of the air out, but all told, I managed to deflate and pack the mattress back into its bag in about 5 minutes or so. It is impressively compact and light for the amount of comfort it gives.
This is a really great camping/ emergency single bed .
It comes in a drawer string storage bag along with elastic to hold in place when rolled and put away.
It is so super easy to inflate just using your foot fantastic , not need for pumps or tubes to blow the bed up, plus it was surprisingly fast.
Pleas note the poppers at the side of the bed which allows you to join two of these pads together if you would need a double bed.
It also deflates in a few seconds, and was easy to roll back and put in the storage bag.
An easy five stars from me.
Neat camping air bed this, it comes in it’s own bag in a sealed plastic bag and in there you also get the instructions as well as a bunch of repair kits, typical for this type of thing.
First thing that struck me was just how big it was, especially deflated, if you look at my pic, that rug is 230cm in length and this went over it completely so, it’s big, so either you have a big tent or your inflating this outside, which tbh isn’t a problem most the time.
Inflating was super quick and easy, you just stomp on the inflater at the bottom of the mat and a minute later it’s done. It can be a little footery and I definitely recommend no shoes, but once you get the position right, it finishes the job very quick with little fuss over pumps and batteries, brilliant addition here.
The bed itself, which isn’t very thick once inflated, is still comfortable and certainly better than the floor, and I’m a fairly chunky bloke but was still nice to lie on. Inflated, it’s sice was around 200cm as expected so you still need a good size of floor to put it on, but as a 6’1″ block, I appreciated it a lot very often I’m hanging out the bottom with these things.
It’s also very lightweight, so easily something to attach to a backpack if your hiking.
I like it and recommend if your in need of a good night sleep while camping!
