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

Three see-through patches are included to see off any tears and there are poppers on the side so you can attach two mattresses together and create one large sleeping area. The dual-valve system works well, and there is no screw-on end cap like most of the SIMs we’ve looked at. It is hard to stress how important the R-rating is for an enjoyable night of camping, even in fairly mild UK weather.

Mainly importing their gear to the UK from the USA, Kingcamp offer chunky, quality gear with some nice design flourishes.Inflated size for the Ultim is 200 x 136 x 8cm which is enough for most people under 6ft 6 inches in height. The other interesting point to note is that the Thermarest MondoKing has vertical edges when inflated which means you can butt two of them up together to make a quasi-King Size double. Say goodbye to annoying pebbles and uneven ground: you won’t feel a thing laying upon this plush mat, which inflates to 10cm high to keep you off the ground. This is a self-inflating foam mattress with 5cm of thickness for the central portion and a single flip-valve.

A well-made sleeping mat can be the difference between a good night’s sleep and a night full of tossing and turning. Once you’ve found a camping mat that’s perfect for your trip, book one of our many Club Sites across the UK. Non-self-inflating mattresses generally require manual inflation, such as a foot pump or using your breath to inflate it.

Housed in a matching carry bag, it unfurls to 185cm x 57cm x 5cm and is fitted with a double valve for easy peasy inflation. In fact they probably fit in the final segment we mentioned above whereby they deliver a fantastic overall package. We definitely recommend it if packing space is not an issue for you or if you tend to feel the ground in your hips.

Aside from your sleeping bag, your sleeping mat is the only thing separating you from the cold ground; therefore, you need to consider purchasing one that’s comfortable and stops your body heat from being lost to the ground. Definitely recommended if packing space is not an issue for you or if you need that extra 5cm of cushioning (anyone over 15 stone we would say), but it's easily the most expensive option on offer here.For real additional comfort to the Ultim you need to be looking at a 15cm SIM such as the Outdoor Revolution Skyfall or similar. However let’s not kid ourselves – you’ll need a big car to bring these along with a tent to put them in! This down-filled sleeping mat is constructed with innovative, durable technology, making it ideal for long-term expeditions.
