Clostnature Self Inflating Sleeping Pad for Camping - 1.5/2/3 inch Camping Pad, Lightweight Inflatable Camping Mattress Pad, Insulated Foam Sleeping Mat for Backpacking, Tent, Hammock

I put a thick yoga mat (from Amazon) under this and it was perfect!Hold your horses! No, this is not for:-lightweight camping-minimalist camping-backpacking-survivalist hammock off-the-grid DIY campingIt is for comfort while tent camping without spending a million dollars to sleep on the ground.And I love it.I bought two thick yoga mats and 2 of these. Yoga mats link:(https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B08D96THSX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1)These roll up compactly (a little bigger around than a standard camp chair) and dry quickly.Did 4 tent trips with them so far and have had great success.Here's our routine:Tent and these go on the top of the pile in the wayback of the car.Tent goes up. I take my shoes off, get in, and I am handed two yoga mats, two of these, and bedding.While everything else gets unloaded onto the picnic table (I said it wasn't minimalist camping), I'm in the tent at work - unroll the yoga mats, unroll these puppies, open the air vents, and snap them together.I throw down a couple of flat sheets and blankets and leave them. By the time we've started a fire and set up, these have fluffed up enough that I just blow about 10 big breaths into each and we're good.It WILL be easier if you can store them "inflated." They have a memory and the foam inflates quicker if you store them that way. I keep them inflated under the bed and roll them up a few days before we need to pack them. It definitely improves their inflation time. But even if you can't do that, just open the air valve and let them "relax" a little bit before manually adding air.As a side note - these were purchased to convert a "non-tenter" into sleeping on the ground. He loves it. There are so many new places we can go with just the tent now.I got these at a low price in case sleeping on the ground just didn't work out. I have a Thermarest Basecamp from camping by myself that has lasted 15 years, and I'm only mentioning the Thermarest because I want to point out that I have purchased at the high end of the budget as well. Yes, the Thermarest is a higher quality, but pairing these with the yoga mats is absolutely fine.And that they snap together makes it a lot less slippery to have 2 people, 2 pads, 2 everything shifting around in a tent.These are a good deal.

This thing is crazy warm, although I would know what youre getting yourself into if you plan on taking it backpacking. Its big and pretty heavy. I recently took it in 25F weather and slept on the ground no problems. The pillow is a real plus. We hiked almost three miles into a steep valley and made it but man is this thing heavy for just a sleeping pad. It is very cost effective as opposed to other high r value sleeping pads that are much smaller, thats why I chose it as I didn't want to spend tons of money to get into backpacking at first. I have it strapped to the outside of an athletic backpack, no way it fits into any sort of backpacking bag.With my first pad It came with an air leak and would deflate slowly. Amazon gave me a full refund for it and the company sent me a new pad for free. Thats some customer service right there. Again just know its heavy and big and likely not fit for longer hikes, even though I manged to lug it almost three miles in and three miles out of a wet muddy valley with 500ft of elevation change.

This is a great quality inflatable mattress; I got as a spare when I camp without plugs because if there’s an opportunity to use an air mattress I’m doing that instead. It also works well for my 80 lb dog as a matt because it stays cooler than the air mattress.The cushion is very nice and hasn’t lost air on me yet. I personally do not like the pillow; I rather had gotten the mat without it. Im also pretty sure this is too short for most people. I’m 5’2 and I didn’t inflate the pillow and my feet almost hung off. The bag it comes in is just a compression sack and not a waterproof bag so just know that.I bought this item with no intentions backpacking with it. If you are backpacking and this option pops up , it is going to take up your whole pack and weigh probably more than your water source.

so this is a really nice mat. I followed the instructions and inflated it fully for the first time. I then rolled it up and used the included compression straps to hold it. I then released it and opened the air valves again and it did indeed inflate really close to full. The mat is firm but I would think you could adjust that if you squish it and open the vales to release some air and then close agin. The pillow on it is nice and perfect for a side sleeper. It really kept me off the ground which will vibe great for the trail. The weight is heavier than air mats but the comfort is worhth the extra. I have had a couple air mats fail and are just not comfortable this is so much better. The material is thick and durable feeling. I was able to roll up the mat and then fold it in half and use the straps to get it to a small enough size to fit my sleeping bag compartment on my 85 liter Teton explore bag. Definitely recommend.

I originally purchased this for my son for a Boy Scout backpacking trip and was disappointed when it arrived and it missed the mark of the description. I will say that the mattress is comfortable once it is inflated BUT it is not the easiest thing to inflate and, as for folding and hiking with it, it is far to heavy and bulky for that. This isn't something you could put in a compression sack to minimize the space needed to pack it. This is something that will take a quarter of your pack so if you are backpacking for any distance, this may not be for you. Now if you are doing a hybrid camping trip where you're close to your car and pack weight doesn't matter, then this is something you may want to consider. I will say that it is about average in length so for someone 6' or below. If you are above 6', you will hang off at one end or the other. I had to purchase another mat for my son who is 6'1 and now my youngest uses this for family trips where we just load and unload the car right at the site. Overall I would say it has its uses but backpacking isn't one of them.
