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

Dimensions are solid at 200 x 76 x 15cm for the ‘Grande’ size which is slightly wider than a conventional single – we appreciate Vango’s dedication in constantly supplying 200cm (6ft7) length mattresses instead of cutting cost by reducing too much. However let’s not kid ourselves – you’ll need a big car to bring these along with a tent to put them in! Bank a great night’s kip on Berghaus’ self-inflating mat, made with hard-wearing ripstop fabric to keep it in use for many camping trips to come.

Packed size and weight is crucial and this is where the new improved Version 2 of the Shangri-La beats Version 1 handsomely. Used chiefly for backpacking tent trips but unlikely to be used at a campsite if you’ve brought the car and can transport something thicker. Essentially it’s one giant windsock that becomes inflated using air-catching technology - you’ll need to find a hill or a clearing and run with it open to ‘catch’ air inside it.In fact it’s a little too eager to please because it can be a bit of a difficult job to get air out of when packing up.

Meanwhile, family and car campers can pack something bigger and bulkier that offers great comfort, or even go for a double camping mat that two adults can share. I have never had a better nights sleep camping, it doesnt feel like you are sleeping on the floor and is super comfortable easy to use and roll up. The Outdoor Revolution Skyfall Double 150 SIM is no exception to this experience and offers an immense 15cm of pure cushioned comfort for your nighttime napping. I’ve long been an admirer of Vango inflatable gear and the Comfort 10 follows on a familiar theme of reliability coupled with performance. If you want to ensure you'll get a good night's sleep when you are next away camping, you need a camping roll mat.However in our mind, using two singles is a preferable option, primarily because of the flexibility on offer. This air mattress comes with an innovative self inflating valve so making sure it's sleep ready in minutes is not a worry. We also love the soft-touch top of the waypoint, which feels far nicer than many plastic-y mats to touch. These not only raise you off the ground but provide insulation and help you sleep comfortably all night long. A sleeping bag is one of the most important features of your camping sleeping kit, so make sure yours is up to the job.

The Air 10 Double SIM offers a very decent 10 cm of thickness and only takes around 5 minutes to fully inflate – all by itself! With 15cm of depth and using quality fabrics, there's not alot to dislike here if comfort is your main aim. The SIM comes packed away tightly in a decent stuff sack and is certainly easy to stow in your car boot with the rest of your camping equipment. Losing a halfpoint for the slightly slippery outer fabric, the Trekology is an excellent SIM option for those on a budget and comes highly recommended. While a sleeping bag and sleeping mat are important for a comfortable rest, don't underestimate the difference a good camping pillow can make.

When it comes to camping in the great outdoors, bar bringing in a four poster bed, there really is no better way to kip than on a camp bed. The Kampa Kip Highrise 15 is the thickest SIM in Kampa’s range with a whopping 15cm of travel underneath your body.
