MEETPEAK Camping Sleeping Pad, Extra Thickness 3.9 Inch Inflatable Sleeping Mat with Pillow Built-in Pump, Compact Ultralight Waterproof Camping Air Mattress for Backpacking, Hiking, Tent, Traveling

I was genuinely happily surprised by this sleeping pad! It was used for a longish high-elevation (12k) backpacking trip, and it all but saved my ass when our tent flooded one stormy night and I woke up on an island in the middle of a lake, so to speak. My sleeping bag and I were dry even with the pad being submerged in water for who knows how many hours before waking. Big gratitude for that!It was also remarkably easy to pump up with the foot pump, you just have to do a fun little hillbilly dance while it inflates, and presto! And to top it all off, it was wildly comfortable. Didn’t necessarily handle every single bump of the land, but it cushioned the bumpy terrain so that at least any sharp slopes softened. It was lightweight enough for genuine backpacking although my mountaineer instructor may think otherwise — It was worth the extra few oz’s to me for the comfort and having remarkably stayed dry.It doesn’t handle temperature fluctuation super well and may deflate a little over time if there’s big temp flux — I had it inflated for 10 days and needed to re-inflate it once when I went from inflating it in the outdoor cold to using it in my toasty warm car on the last day of the trip… but that’s a pretty solid outcome so its still a 5 from me, and the pumping up is easy enough. Not sure how it would stand up longevity wise, but for the trip I took that was NOT delicate on it, it held up nicely.It also looks like it has snaps all along the edges that you can link to another part of the same kind, which I’m interested in trying when going camping with my partner. Will buy another!

I go to the beach alot over the summer and I am tired of lugging uncomfortable chairs back and forth. I switched to just a blanket last year but at this particular beach, the ground is kind of hard and rocky so it wasn't that comfortable. I wanted something like this because it was small and easy to throw in my bag and does not weigh alot. It also does not require a separate pump so that is even better.I tested it out the other night on the floor and even though it is kind of on the thinner side, I think it is going to give me just the right amount of cushion that I need. I can just wrap my little blanket around it and then stake it down so nothing blows away. Now all I need is 80 degree weather again and I can go out and use it everyday.I can also see my son using this for camping trips or even bringing up to college in case he wants to have a friend stay in his room. Has many uses.

At age 72 I was invited to a camping trip deep in Canyonlands National Park. I hadn't slept in a sleeping bag on the ground in over 30 years. My recollection of air mattresses was that they make you cold and go flat in the night. Well, I ended up buying this one and it worked great. I practiced pumping it up before I left home. When I got to camp, I pumped it up, but it was a little too soft to support me - it was very easy to just roll over and pump a few more times (I slept with my head at the foot end due to the high pillow.) I slept very comfortably all 3 nights. When it was time to leave, the mattress rolled up to a very compact and lightweight size. Highly recommended!

This mattress is great for camping. I have now used it for multiple trips, the longest being a week. The foot pump is quick and easy to use, and works best with shoes on. It holds air well, and only needed three extra pumps halfway through a week long trip. It packs small (about the same size as a rolled up hoodie) and is easy to roll back up and get back into its bag, even after multiple uses. It is super comfortable, but because it is thin make sure you have a nice flat spot. It is about the length of a twin mattress but half the width, and can be attached together as multiples to form a bigger bed for more than one person. With this type of mattress it is important to be conscious to not over-inflate to avoid ripping the walls between air compartments.

Bought for my husband. He works for the city here in FL and whenever there is an emergency (like hurricane warnings) he has to be on call for days at a time and sleep at the shelter. The first time he went he only had a sleeping bag and was miserable. I bought this as a lightweight bed VS a cot and he said it worked great. Seems like good quality and was easy to use.

The only knock on this is that it is not 4" thick, but it is comfortable nonetheless. I weigh 192 lbs and I am 6'2" and I was able to sleep on my side comfortably although I may have slightly hit bottom. I did get a great night's sleep and that is all that matters. It pumps up easily and I was able to do it with my hands. It rolls up nicely and takes up little room. I think I would prefer this to a full-blown air mattress which I would be able to use if I had a bigger tent.

I bought 2 of these pads for doing some kayak camping this summer and was pleasantly surprised! They were very light weight and compact it easy to inflate and deflate, and we really liked how you can snap 2 together so you don't slip through the middle. They were pretty darn comfortable as well. I could even sleep on my side for a bit! After 2 or 3 nights I was ready for a bed, but I am really happy with the purchase.

Is this a great pad? No. Is it better than nothing? Yes. I bought it to use on top of a really stiff cot—I’ve slept on this cot before and the pad definitely made it more comfortable, especially since I’m usually a side sleeper. The kinda quilted pattern of the pad allowed me to more easily have my arms folded under me. The instructions aren’t very clear (very poorly translated from Chinese with weird pictures) but once you figure them out, it’s very easy to inflate and deflate. I ended up sleeping on it for 6 nights in a row and I had to pump it up a little after the 4th night or so. Another downside is that it’s very loud and crinkly when you move around, and the built-in pillow makes it so your head is extremely elevated if you want to use a real pillow as well (I ended up sliding down and placing my pillow just below the pad’s pillow). But despite its faults, it gets the job done. I imagine it would be great for camping and outdoors—way preferable to sleeping straight on the ground, anyway.
