If you’re looking for premium comfort, Outwell’s Dreamboat Single Mat is a top-of-the-range self-inflating camping mat. The Dreamboat features an FHF (Flat High-Flow) valve with enhanced airflow for inflation and deflation. The vertical side fabric panels do not bend under pressure, meaning less air needs to be pumped for fast, easy inflation.
When buying Self Inflating Mats, the quality of the product is going to be one of the factors that you really scrutinise before you commit to buying. Closed-cell foam mattresses are lightweight mattresses, but they typically take up a bit more space. These mats offer insulation through closed air cells within the foam that consequently trap the air and protect you from the cold ground. Very comfortable when pumped up and similar to a normal mattress in regards to movement felt from the other person. However, we had to pump the mat up at least 8 times in a 2 week camping trip which got very tedious.

A chilly night's sleep is not for everyone. 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. For more tips on staying warm while camping, read our winter camping tips.• SizeNo matter how long I leave the mat to inflate by itself it never really seems to go up much. But this is easily remedied with a few manual breaths and once this is done it's very comfortable and insulating. Did well down to -3C but wouldn't push it much further as if you're a side sleeper like me your hip bones might compress it a bit too much to stay warm on the pressure point. A well-made sleeping mat can be the difference between a good night’s sleep and a night full of tossing and turning. As a tent camper, your camping mat is the only thing between you and the cold, hard floor, so it's worth investing in a mattress that will have you fast asleep and refreshed for the morning ahead. Self-inflating mattresses are made up of foam inside an air-tight shell. When the valve opens, the mat will absorb air, and the foam will expand. The open-cell foam is compressible, making it more comfortable and easier to store away.
