3.15" Self Inflating Camping Sleeping Pad, Ultra-Thick Elasticity Foam Fast Inflating 4-Season Insulated Durable Camping Mat Air Mattress with Pillow, for Tent, Car, Camping, Traveling, Green

First off, make sure the color option you get has a powered pump. If you click through the photos, you can see that some only have valves, while others have a pump in the lower corner. The pump can be annoying if you kick it at night (which you probably will), but other than feeling like a hard piece on the pad, it doesn't hurt and it makes inflating and deflating the pad sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo convenient. Like, you have no idea. Or maybe you do, if you've used passive-filling pads before. The pump came pre-charged, so I was able to test the pad out before camping, and then deflate it and pack it, and then re-inflate it at the campsite, and deflate it again afterwards all without having to charge it. The pad will get pretty firm if you inflate it all the way, so keep an eye on it while it inflates and try to avoid filling it to max. I am about 125 pounds and when the pad is fully inflated it feels okay to lay on while on my back, but I think it would get uncomfortable if I laid on it like that for too long. As a side-sleeper, though, fully inflated it is much too hard. What I ended up doing was inflating it until it looked full (which doesn't take long - maybe twenty seconds?), and then sat on it to confirm the hardness. I couldn't feel the ground at all, so I deflated the pad for a couple seconds, until it had softened to the point that I could almost feel the ground when I sat down. That might seem too soft, but truth be told, once you lay down and your weight is more evenly distributed along the pad, it will be just soft enough to conform to your body. At this setting, it's very comfortable to sleep on as a side-sleeper, and I slept on it over hard, rocky ground without any trouble. I think the trick is to just play around with the inflation levels until you find what works for you. It might sound like a pain, but it doesn't actually take that long. Certainly easier to deal with than a passively inflated mat, I am sure. For the record, the instructions say that filling it 90% full should be comfortable for most. As far as re-rolling and storing the pad is concerned, the pump makes the former task super easy. I set the pump to deflate while pushing the air out of the pad from the opposite end, and it's ready to roll in under a minute. Rolling it once flat is simple, and I like to run the pump one last time as I get to the end of the roll so that it pushes out any remaining air. From there, getting the straps on and sliding it back into the bag is so, so easy. Much easier than putting a tent back in a bag, that's for sure. The roll is fairly compact for what it is, and it's pretty lightweight, too. Probably not something you would lug along on a hiking trip, but if you're camping out of a car, then it's a great option. It's much more convenient to store than one of those accordion folding foam pads, which is what I used previously. Overall, it's convenient, comfortable, and a must-have for casual camping trips.

I regret not buying two of these. It has turned out to be one of the best camping decisions I've ever made. It's very comfortable for camping. And fits my tent very well. For new year's eve camping I forgot to charge the pump and thought i was doomed and what do you know, the mattress's self-inflating feature is not a gimmick. It actually did. No blowing, nothing. And when packing I just pressed out the air. Most inflatable mattresses become unusable without a pump. Not this one.

I have used this several times now and I am satisified. First the cons.... 1. Deflating it is a pain. I start at the pillow end and pop open that value then roll it over once on itself and kneel on it to force the air out then roll kneel roll kneel until I get to the value. It helps to have pre placed a few compression straps under it before you roll it up so once you are done and while kneeling on it you can snap them on and snug it down. 2. The carry bag is an utter POS as once its compressed it still hardly fits and the stitching of that bag cant handle it and splits. I would suggest finding a sturdier storage bag. 3. Takes a long time to fill out once you open it. If you help it along by adding some air from a blower then its much better. its is also a bit thinner then advertized but not enough to really complain. 4. Bulky and heavy I would not recommend for backpacking and the like, but is just fine for more static camping. That said time for the pros. 1. Most importantly its comfortable and I do not wake up sore. 2. It fits both my cots one is a folding amazon no name special and the other is a standard coleman. 3 Good insulation from cold surfaces. 4. Its pretty quiet to sleep on and the material is a bit grabby so it helps with sliding around on it when you are in your bag. 5. works well in my double nest hammock and given how well it insulates I dont need my underquilt unless if am camping in the middle of winter. That said this is my go to sleeping pad and if it were to need replacing I would buy another one. Going on three seasons now and still works well I have however replaced that crap carry bag.

Great sleeping pad! I bought this for my regular car camping and it’s a real game changer. I sleep so good on my side and don’t wake up to making a bunch of noise moving around while I sleep. It does take up more space when storing but worth it when you get a good night sleep. Inflation is so easy. You just open up the tab and close it after a couple of minutes. Note: not ideal for backpacking due to amount of space it takes up and weight

***UPDATE*** SEE VIDEO ATTACHED TO DELFLATE!!! (Guess I’m now the most popular customer!) I purchased this a couple of days ago for a car plane. If you’re unfamiliar, a “car plane” is a C17. Once at altitude, you can roll out a sleeping bag and sleep. So it arrived today, and I wanted to give it a thorough review, especially since I’d be laying on it on a plane (hardest surface): 1. Came in a long box. Idk if that was Amazon’s doing or not but slightly unnecessary. 2. I didn’t show a pic comparison, but I am 6’2. Standing side by side, it was a little above my knee, so great width. 3. Has a carrying bag with a sling. Clutch for walking across tarmacs. 4. Also has 2 individual elastic bands, one for each end to keep it rolled. However, I can see these quickly stretching out. 5. After initially unrolling it, you can see how thin it is before opening the valve. One would assume that it’ll deflate back to this form. I’ll get to that. 6. The valve was really secured, which is great, but be mindful when opening it the first time. Pull too hard at the wrong part and you’ll need more than a patch. 7. Speaking of patch, tucked away in the center of the rolled up mat were two (2) white square patches. They have basic instructions on one side. The other has a clear film covering the sticky side. Without knowing this, one could unknowingly throw them away. DON’T!!! 8. Description said “25 seconds to inflation”. Yeah - FALSE! After opening the valve, I timed it. After 5 minutes, it was nowhere near full inflation. I could still see all the wrinkly lines from when it was initially vacuum sealed. But not a big deal. Blow into the valve like a beach ball. 5 - 10 good blows got me to my last photo. I could tell there was still some room left but those breaths actually helped and I could hear it self-inflating some more. 9. Now the fun part - HOW THE HELL DOES THIS THING DEFLATE?!?!?! I am 6’2, 230 lbs. I read the responses to the same question. Rolled the mat as best I could toward the valve and laid on it. 10 minutes later, no air released, no sound made, and it’s still at the same thickness! *MIND BLOWN* If you figure this out, you’ll be the most popular customer of this product lol! Overall, once to full thickness, VERY comfortable. Laying on my back, I couldn’t even tell I was laying on the ground.

Update: Seller has agreed to replace the pad under their one year warranty. Hopefully the replacement holds up longer! Inflated/deflated easily and very comfortable when inflated, but after just 11 months (and maybe 10 days of use) it started getting pinhole leaks all over the bottom side (you can see all the bubbles in the picture I attached to this review when I got the pad wet to find leaks--they're everywhere! I have had a lot of pads over the years: they typically fail along the seam...this is the first one that's ever failed in dozens of places on the flat bottom side of the pad.

So, like I said: this thang exceeded my expectations. I'm 325 lbs. So there is a lot of me to love. There is also a lot of me to be suspended above rocky and rough ground and this sleeping pad does so in glorious fashion. Now, even with all of me that there is to love, I couldn't get this pad rolled up tight enough to get it back in the carrying bag it came with. I mean, I'm sure it's do-able, but with so much wonder, joy, food, destinations, and polyamory in the world who has time for squeezing excess air out of a sleeping pad? Not this guy. It does also come with a pair of elastic bands that wrap around it when rolled up and since I could easily get those around it, well... good enough for me. I have a 4" memory foam mattress that rolls up to about the circumference of a large, oak whiskey aging cask. This mattress rolls up much more compact than that comfy cozy old thang so, again, good enough for me. It did self inflate as advertised, which was... like... super f@#$ing trippy dear readers of reviews. I did blow a few extra breaths into it, and that did firm it up perfectly, but that was just a peripheral benefit considering my exclusive intent when wrapping my lips around the inflator was bedtime foreplay. I dunno', I think this is the first time I have ever written a review of a product on Amazon, so I guess I could have led with that little factoid and let the dear readers draw their own conclusions based on my zealotry. But instead I decided to take a few moments to share a more personal experience with this sleeping pad. If you need details like "its very thick foam so likely won't pop" there it is. Very well made product. Its ideal for car camping, roof top tent aspiring-Instagram-overland-influencer steez, or just putting between your sexy self and some hot-ass beach sand. If I could do it all over again, I would spend the extra money for this over more frugal options because I have a feeling that my relationship with this pad will last much longer than any other I have had. Except for my skateboard. I have been loving that thing for over thirty years and I am still positively enamored with it.

The mattress never inflated. I had to blow it up with my mouth. No fun! It arrived the day of my camping trip so no time to experiment with it, just packed it and left only to find it would not inflate. The instructions included state it often times won't and it would need to be manually filled. Didn't see that in the description online. I would return it but it's already used. If I wanted a regular air mattress, I would have bought one because it would have been more comfy and I would have been prepared to full it up. It's a fairly thin pad, the only bonus was its supposed to be self-filling. Since it's not that, it's not worth the sacrifice of a thin pad.
