Pros | Warm, comfortable, easy to inflate | Bed-like comfort, easy inflation, great value | Very comfortable, very warm, easy to use | Packs to half the size of similar mattresses, super fast inflation, warm, comfortable | Comfortable, insulating, fast self-inflation |
Cons | Large packed size, pricey | Too big for some single person tents | Large packed size, expensive | Slight bounciness, heavy | Huge packed size, takes some wrangling to deflate, heavy |
Bottom Line | Our favorite option with well-designed valves and a pump sack for easy inflation | This plush pad is comfortable, warm, and affordable, but does take up a lot of space, even when packed | Deluxe and plush, this is a top choice for car camping comfort | Four inches of foam camping mattress comfort that packs into a relatively small package | With six inches of foam, this mattress is truly the max in terms of cushioning and insulation. It is also quite large when packed |
