Camping Mattress

Camping Mattress Information

Very good camping mattress was out of our price range at that time. We ended up using a thick foam that we bought from a fabric store as our camping mattress. It was more comfortable than sleeping on the ground, but it was huge to take along and to store when we were not using it.

We stopped camping for several years, but we have lately began to take an interest in it again. I told my husband that a camping mattress is the first thing we needed to buy. We started looking at what is on the market these days and found that there are a lot of choices for a camping mattress. There is the inflatable camping mattress that looks like being a small step above the floating air mattress that we had tried earlier. There is a campingmattress that is self inflating. It inflates as it is rolled out.

Camping Mattress - Tips and Advice

You close the valve once it has inflated itself. To deflate, you open the valve and press down on the camping mattress. This seemed simply to set up and easy to store, however it was not very thick, so we doubted on the level of comfort. We also considered another camping mattress that was inflatable with a separate pump. This particular campingmattress is sold in several sizes. The inflation time was around five minutes. The pump is equipped with rechargeable batteries, so you can bring it to the campground already charged and then plug it in when you go back home. This option is not too expensive for a camping mattress, however it did not come with any possible way to store it.

The camping mattress that we finally purchased was a double size mattress with a built pump in it. The camping mattress inflates in about a minute and deflates flat in even less time. The mattress and pump can be stored into a duffle case that is the size of a sleeping bag. This camping mattress is more expensive, but we can also utilize it as an extra bed on the occasions when we have more guests than bed space. We will be camping and sleeping in comfort with our new camping mattress. It is important to have a good night sleep with a good mattress while camping to be fresh and ready to go in the morning.
