Best Camping Mattresses in the UK

If you’re not eager to deprive yourself or your loved ones of superior comfort in the wild, it’s high time to get the Audew portable air mattress. Actually, it’s more of an inflatable bed rather than a thin, camping option.

With a generous height of 23 cm when inflated, this fluffy mattress can provide you with restful 8-hour sleep and let you enjoy the new day to the fullest. Thanks to the environmentally-friendly 0.35 mm PVC material and 0.02-mm flocking, you’ll feel ultimately comfy and peaceful when sleeping on it. What is notable, the mattress can adapt to your body curves to enhance your sleep quality. Almost like the memory foam models.

Speaking about the portability, it folds like a pillow and comes with a storage bag. It uses a 2-in-1 air pump for easy pumping and deflation. And what we liked the most, the air mattress is fitted with both a DC power outlet and a cigarette lighter plug to be as versatile as possible. That is to say, it can serve as a guest bed at home, an outdoor bed on the campsite, a lounger at the beach, to name a few.

Lastly, we would like to point out that the manufacturer thoughtfully includes a small inflatable pillow with the purchase. So, if you’d like to get a super-comfortable airbed to pamper yourself with restful sleep wherever you are, the Audew mattress hits the sweet spot.

Love to spend nights outdoors with your significant other? The Trail Outdoor Leisure company has a very appealing offering for you. Its new Double Self-Inflating Camping Mat is created specifically for those couples that love adventures and often go camping together.

Being extra-thick and extra-large, it’ll offer you two exceptional comfort whilst remaining light and compact enough to carry on outdoor trips. To specify, it’s 186 x 105 x 5cm when fully inflated. With that, it weighs less than 3 kilos.

The extra depth of 5 cm makes it reasonably thicker than most other camping airbeds available on the market. We dare say, you’ll feel almost like you are sleeping on a regular mattress. Plus, this thickness means you’ll never hit the ground or suffer from the uneven surface below - the deep foam will even out any bumps. And thanks to water-resistant polyester coating, the mattress won’t absorb any moisture from the damp ground.

For the convenience of use, this airbed is made to be self-inflatable. Hence, you’ll simply need to open the 'quick flow' valves and the mat will automatically draw in air. Still, if you want it to reach the maximum capacity, the manufacturer recommends blowing up some extra air manually.

The ISOPHO Inflatable Sleeping Mat is a real steal for those light packers that often go on multi-day hikes and don’t want to carry lots of travel equipment. It’s small enough to fit into a standard backpack, so you can take it whenever you go outdoors.

Unbelievable but the sleeping pad in question weighs only 602 grammes and is 20 x 13 x 10cm when folded. Actually, it has nearly the same size as a bottle of water, meaning you can put this folding pad inside your rucksack, clip to a D-ring, or secure with welded bungee cords. The choice is yours.

Comfort-wise, it provides you with optimal relaxation thanks to the 6cm thickness and the 6-sided honeycomb structure. Due to this design, the pressure is distributed evenly to all parts of the mattress. And when a person (up to 300 kg) lies on the pad, it doesn’t touch the ground.

For greater convenience, the mattress boasts a built-in pillow. It has an ergonomic design and inflates up to the comfortable 13 cm. So, you can expect a good night's sleep no matter where you are.

KAMUI does its best to bring true enjoyment to users by producing outdoor equipment with practical design and superior quality. And what we have on hands is a durable sleeping pad that is simple but very functional. The company hasn’t cut corners and made it with high-rebound foam and sturdy 190T polyester material, which will provide long-term durability and stability for the pad. So, you can be sure it won’t deform even if used heavily.

The KAMUI sleeping mattress is a well-balanced model designed with minimum essential features to provide you with maximum comfort. It boasts ideal thickness, weight, and size. At 1.6 kg/5 cm weight-to-thickness ratio, it’s a perfect pad to use in a tent. And what we liked the most is that the air pad has a very smart design allowing you to join multiple ones either horizontally or vertically. With no gaps in-between.

When you unroll the mattress, you should simply open the valve and allow it to inflate automatically. During a 20 to 30 minute period, it will suck in enough air for optimal back support and insulation against the cool ground. After use, it’s easy to deflate and store away. Just slowly roll it up to seep the air out of it.

All things considered, we can say that the KAMUI Self Inflating Sleeping Mat is a perfect match for individuals that often travel with a tent. And thanks to its ability to be connected with other mattresses with no gaps, it’s ideal for group camping.

Need an extra layer of comfort for your sleeping bag? Then the Premium Active Era camping pad might be exactly what you need. It has been carefully designed to provide you with additional support in the wild. It has a well-through-out design and fits perfectly inside/outside standard sleeping bags.

The mat has a lightweight construction and is 4-cm thick when inflated, so we would like to warn you that you won’t get the same feeling as thicker pads provide. Yet, it’ll gently support your body and keep you warm overnight. Its core is made with an advanced foam structure that effectively retains body heat and ensures optimal body temperature. As for the outer shell, it’s built with weather-resistant material that stays dry in the rain and withstands tearing and ripping quite well. Also, it makes the pad suitable for use on rugged or uneven terrain.

Designed with a quick flow valve, the airbed quickly inflates on its own to an optimum level. However, if that seems insufficient for you, you can top-up with a few breaths for greater firmness. Once inflated, this sleeping bag mattress is solid and quiet. It doesn’t rustle and make any crunchy sound when you shift about, as it may happen with cheaper models.

To recap, the Premium Active Era self-inflating camping pad is the best model for use inside or outside your sleeping bag. It’ll wrap your body with comfort after a long day of hiking, trekking, or backpacking.
