Berghaus Air 10 Single Self Inflating Camping Mat with Carry Bag and Repair Kit, Air Bed for 1 Person, Compact Air Mattress, Camping Equipment, Blue, One Size

Product Information

this mat is on the heavy side for backpacking but it really stands out in cold conditions – a high R-rating of 5. This can also be used to pump up your inflatable tent, inflatable camping furniture and even the kids' paddling pool. There’s four sizes available, including a wide and a long version, and the fabric of the pad is 100 per cent recycled. With 15cm of depth and using quality fabrics, there's not alot to dislike here if comfort is your main aim. With this double sized sleeping mat from outdoor equipment giants Berghaus, there's no need to stress about forgetting a footpump.

It has vertical side walls to maximize the top-level surface area and this means that you don’t roll off in the night. This really highlights the IForrest as an exceptional all-round self inflating mattress for both hiking trips and/or campsite stays.

Free yourself from the faff of foot pumps on your next camping holiday with a self-inflating double mat. The Shangri-La is exceptionally easy to inflate and deflate, and this is one of its major strengths. Ultralight and easy to pack into the dinkiest daysack, this mat unrolls to provide great comfort and warmth in the wild and holds you 8cm off the ground, which really helps side sleepers get a comfy night’s sleep.

The outer material is a superb blend of comfortable and durable, thanks to stretchy soft-touch fabric and a TPU lamination. Andes supply a couple of clip straps to help secure the SIM in its rolled-up state, but we did find that the shiny material on the top surface made it trickier to handle than some of the more expensive SIMs using flock or tactile materials. in XXL (203 x 76 x 11cm), this is a surprisingly lightweight product which has greatly impressed us. Not a mat but a lightweight sleeping option nonetheless, this lounger makes a great temporary bed for a few nights in the great outdoors. The question of camping with your partner using a double bed/mattress vs 2 x singles is a perennial one.Both camping mats and camping SIMs can also be used on top of a camp bed or ‘cot’ (as the Americans say) for more of a bed-like experience. Decathlon's selection of camping pillows includes a light and fluffy portable neck pillow and an inflatable camping pillow in various shapes and sizes that will help keep your neck in a comfortable position so you avoid waking up with a stiff neck. At Camping Secrets we often like to highlight niche products we uncover which accomplish a task in a clever way, whilst maintaining quality and value. We recommend an R-Value of 3 or higher for 3-season use, and 5 or higher if you will be lying on the ground in winter too.

in weight, the Berghaus Double Air 10 Self-Inflating Mattress is one of the top-performers we’ve tested for both comfort and warmth. Extra long and wide, this design will make you feel like you’ve got plenty of space to stretch out, and a handy inflatable pillow (so you’ll never forget to bring one again) also helps to make this mat a treat to sleep on. Kelty reckons its new waypoint is its “biggest and softest” pad yet, and at 76cm wide and a generous 8cm of height, we wouldn’t disagree. Secondly they don’t require an electric pump to inflate - one less thing to carry or remember batteries for. Well actually we didn’t really miss those extra 2cm, and the great insulation really made a difference on a cold autumn night.Moving to the present day and there’s now an extremely wide variety of camping mats and camping mattresses on the market – some of them self inflate (the topic of this article) whereas others require pumping – either via a hand pump, pump bag (a simple way of filling a bag with dry air which can then be squeezed into the SIM via a valve) or electric pump. However, the inflated size is a little restricted compared to the more expensive Vango and Berghaus options – the length is 195cm (just under 6ft5) and so we would recommend either of those two over the Outwell if you’re lanky like me. You won’t break a sweat when inflating it either - it’s simply a case of opening the valve and letting the design do the hard work while you get on with the rest of your set up.
