Vango Comfort 10cm Double Sleeping Mat Black

Product Information

We think the Shangri-La makes sense in single format but is just too bulky as a double. Of course, your mileage may vary on that choice. There’s no doubt that it is an absolute comfort monster in terms of the luxury it offers. This is also reflected in the price of course, and in terms of price per square metre it is one of the highest reviewed.

Adventure Kings is known for its affordable prices while providing exceptional value for money and their self-inflating mattress range is no different. As for the weight, around 400–2000 grams should be fine, unless you’re opting for a heavier option. DurabilityIn terms of dimensions and operation, the Dreamcatcher is pretty standard in most areas. 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. Use soapy water to clean your self inflating mat, let it dry, then spray with a fabric freshener like Febreeze For inflating, remove the cap and make sure the valve is in the ‘inflate position’. Unroll the mattress and it will automatically let air rush in and will self inflate. Spot the top-selling author in that previous sentence! The KingCamp Deluxe Double SIM comes in two great covers a delicious electric blue or a gorgeous grey/anthracite mix. It uses a novel ‘wave-like’ top surface layer to provide a tactile 150D surface to lie on and hold your sleeping bag in position. Unlike a standard inflatable mattress or air bed, a camping mat doesn’t require a pump to fill it with air. Sleeping mats also provide better insulation, as they offer a solid layer between your sleeping bag and the ground, rather than air alone.

The KingCamp is undoubtedly fabricated from decent materials – the two valves on the SIM are brass which is a nice touch and differentiates the Deluxe from other SIMs which rely on plastic. That’s not the only reason the bed is suitable for rough campgrounds; it also comes with a waterproof, abrasion-resistant material that’s skin-friendly. It’ll stay durable throughout your usage, regardless of the surrounding weather conditions. From the inside, the bed is full of sponge, which is highly comfortable to sleep on.After inflation, just screw the valve cap in and hey presto, it’s ready to lie on! Berghaus Air 10 In Use

There are two valves on the mattress. The second valve can be manually blown up which elevates the head area for a make-shift pillow, but that’s completely optional and up to you so feel free to experiment! Unfold and use: Once the mattress is fully inflated, unfold it and place it on your camping tent or any other desired surface. 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. Camping Mat vs Camping Mattress If you’re going to get a sleeping mat that’ll let you freeze in the cold, you might as well sleep out in the open. Your mat of choice should have enough insulation to keep the cold from touching your body. Insulation is measured in R-value; the larger the number, the better the insulation. Operation is simple. The Berghaus uses a rotatable ‘flip valve’ with a protective sealed cap to secure in place. When the flip valve is is one position air can get in but not escape (i.e. use when inflating). In the other orientation, air can escape but not get in – use for deflating.Simply open up the valve to deflate the mat. Once deflated, roll it up, kneeling on it as you go to squeeze any excess air out. Straps allow you to secure the mat and stop it from unrolling. The mat is designed to fit a woman’s body, thanks to its shapely design where It gets narrower near the shoulders and wider near the hips. However, I'd argue that it shouldn't discourage anyone else from buying it if they like what they see. 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.

The Shangri-La is for all intents and purposes a proper mattress when it’s fully inflated. It has vertical side walls to maximize the top-level surface area and this means that you don’t roll off in the night. With dimensions of 190L x 85W x 10H cm it’s one of the larger single-sized self inflating mats on the market, but is still compact enough to fit on the Kings Stretcher for an elevated sleeping experience or inside their Swags. Sumptuous comfort for one. You need a single 12cm or 10cm self inflating camping mat. Great for extended holidays with friends, single parent camping, touring, camping beds for teenagers. The Decathlon Quechua Ultima is a comfortable mattress at a pretty reasonable price point. It’s not the cheapest double and it’s not the most expensive. Would we like a little more cushioning, say 10cm total? Well actually we didn’t really miss those extra 2cm, and the great insulation really made a difference on a cold autumn night. We slept very well, with none of the ‘sleeping bad sliding’ you get on some smoother SIMs. For real additional comfort to the Ultim you need to be looking at a 15cm SIM such as the Outdoor Revolution Skyfall or similar.
