Selecting The Perfect Camping Mattress

Selecting a Camping Mattress That's Right for You

Camping is an experience that combines adventure, and relaxation all while connecting with nature. Whether it be backpacking or car camping , selecting the proper sleep system and the comfort it provides can greatly influence how you feel in the morning. Deep Sleep offers a variety of air mattresses and camping pads to enhance your camping needs for the ultimate trip experience.

Types of Camping Mattresses

1. Self-inflatable Mattresses

Self-inflating mattresses typically offer a combination of foam and air, providing great insulation and cushioning. Getting the proper R-value is important for comfortable sleeping in all temperatures. Our self inflating mattress is easy to inflate and effortless.  Deflating these mattresses is just as easy and straightforward—simply open the valves and roll the mattress to expel the air which makes packing and storage hassle-free.

2. Air Mattresses

Air mattresses are perfect for campers desiring simple solutions with comfort of home during any camping trip.  The firmness can be adjusted to appease all types of sleepers. The air pump sack includes an electric pump to inflate the camp beds. Setting up is convenient and ultra lightweight making it a great addition for car camping, and an easy way to enhance your base camp to ensure a good night's rest. 

3. Foam Pads

Foam camping pads are ultralight, and  work great underneath other sleeping mats or mattresses to prevent puncturing. These foam sleeping pads are a  closed-cell foam pad which provides a firm yet soft surface while being easily packable.

Key Considerations

  1. R-Value: Understanding the R-value of a sleeping pad ensures you choose a mattress suitable for the weather conditions of your camping trip. Our self inflating pads are rated at an Industry leading 18.75 R-value for all weather camping.
  2. Size & Weight: Maximizing space for backpacks and gear is easy with the right fitting. For two people, our mattresses have specific fittings to reach completely door to door based on your make and model. From top to bottom, the mattress is fitted to your truck bed to help reach your front cabin seats and can often support a 6’2” sleeper.
  3. Packability: Look for features like a stuff sack or compressible design that suits your travel style.
  4. Insulation & Comfort: Our mats give better support, and you can use bedding that is suited to the climate or just add your sleeping bag for extra comfort.
  5. Durability & Warranty: All of our mattresses come with a repair kit and have a 2-Year Warranty. For larger repair issues, reach out to Deep Sleep Overland at +1 207-496-1499.
