Ultralight Sleeping Pad - Inflatable Sleeping Mat for Camping, Hiking, Backpacking - 74x22 Inches Compact Air Mattress, Waterproof Gear for Travel Outdoors - Green

For years I have been through many mattresses (even top of the line) and mattress toppers in a desperate search for hip and spinal relief.Recently, after sleeping in a recliner for nearly two years - back worsened leading to severe sciatic nerve compression on L4/L5 area - my docs placed an internal pain pump inside me, so now being able to walk and move again, I wanted so badly to be able to lay down. 2 years in a recliner is a long time to be sleeping in. Anyways, I knew mattress toppers weren’t going to work and did not want to throw more money down the drain. During my searches, and I would have never even thought of this, but camping air mattresses popped up. I thought no way especially after just buying an air mattress to lay down on and that didn’t work. There are so many camper ones out there that claim to relieve these pressure points that I felt a bit overwhelmed. Did a filter search based on reviews and this camping air mattress popped up with most reviews, so I bought it.I was thrilled when it arrived and couldn’t wait to try it out. Bedtime approached, placed a flat sheet over it, laid down on my side and watched TV until i fell asleep. NO PAIN on my hip side or spinal pain. Even had a pillow between my legs. It was mind blowing to be able to finally, and I mean FINALLY, be able to sleep through the night in my bed again, and it was the best sleep ever! Who would have thought, right?This camper air mattress did not let me down. Easy to blow up by mouth and fast, experienced no air loss yet and it’s been a few days now. It is very comfortable, doesn’t sleep cold as advertised, and shockingly the price was pretty great!! I bought another one for my ottoman that converts to a bed for guests.For anyone in desperate need of a possible solution for hip/spinal pain, and do not want to keep wasting money on new mattresses or toppers, for me, this was the answer to my prayers.Also, just to bring to your attention, while I was down for months unable to walk and such, and surgery was not an option due to heart function, sadly I put on weight. I noticed that there are air camper mattresses with max weight capacity, so please keep that in mind when searching.I highly recommend this camper air mattress. I will have to update in a few months. I realize it’s made for going camping or even to use in a car to sleep on for those occasions, not sure about every day usage, but for now, I am glad this concept was ever created.

I don't backpack or sleep on the ground in a tent any more. Haven't for decades. I like sleeping only on a soft mattress. This is sometimes a problem when traveling. In a hotel, AirBnB, cruise ship, relative's guest room, etc., I never know what I am going to get. If I wind up on a hard mattress, I tuck this under the fitted sheet, get a good night's sleep and wake up pain-free. It packs up so small, it is easy to include in my luggage, even when travelling light. It is also amazingly affordable.It seems durable for being so lightweight, but I would not abuse it. It is not a trampoline or snow sled. Children can't resist jumping on air mattresses, so keep this out of sight.The only possible drawback is that it makes a slight crinkling sound when climbing into and out of bed, but this has not ben a problem and even my wife has never remarked on it despite mid-night bathroom breaks. Blowing it up by mouth is not a big deal if you have a little patience for the minute or two it takes.For me this would not be quite thick enough for side-sleeping on a hard surface like a wood floor (I am a 6'2" man, 175 lbs). Close, but some padding underneath would be needed for me. It could work for back sleeping or likely for smaller people. It would be fine alone for side-sleeping on any cushioned surface like a firm mattress, futon, couch, RV bunk, etc.On a recent 2-week trip, this was a real sanity-saver. That would be too long to be missing sleep. One of my best travel purchases ever. If you are someone who hates a really firm mattress, and you travel at all, I recommend considering this for your next trip. Plus, if you ever got stuck overnighting in an airport, this could be quite a luxury.

I just used this sleeping pad about a week ago while hammock camping about 4000 feet up on a mountain (4 nights), which I was concerned I would lose too much body heat and fall victim to Hypothermia since I was up off the ground. I'm not 100% sure about the product's actual insulation rating and it was not the coldest of mountain nights, but I remained warm and cozy during the entire mountain night and early mountain morning, even when rain soaked some of my hammock and sleep gear. The pad dried out in less than 15 minutes in the morning, which was pretty good to get back on the move.To talk about the length, I thought it might be a little too long for a hammock, but I think a longer one is much better for hammock camping and it fit very well. Getting situated on the pad in a hammock was slightly challenging (not the pads fault though), it took a bit of careful shifting around but once you figure out a method it gets much easier and then you become faster at getting ready for night (practice set up and getting situated a few times before taking on a trail with you).Lastly, one of the main reasons I went with this product over similar priced competitor products is because of the weight and size. It is one the lightest products in the $40 price range I could find. My buddy actually bought a comparable one from a competitor to take on the trail with us (same priced one on AMZN) , which gave me the ability to compare them both. The competitor's pad wasn't bad at all, but it was a bit heavier and bulkier than the Sleepingo I bought, and seems less insulated so I am really glad I stuck with the Sleepingo. On the trail, every ounce adds up so I was pleased that I cut about a pound from my normal foam sleeping pad (& ounces from the competitor's pads), and for the price I do not think you will not get anything lighter and warmer, to my knowledge. There were a few advantages with the comparable competitors but not enough to veer away from the Sleepingo that I bought (i.e. airpump/airpillow/stuffsack), especially when it comes to insulation for the price.Hammock campers: If you are on a budget and concerned about losing body heat at night - one option is to bring a mylar car window sun shade to lay on top of the pad. Lay on the mylar side and they pretty much trap in heat similar to a mylar blanket. Those car shades weigh very little, can serve several purposes, and only cost about $5. So instead of paying $150 for a really fancy high end insulated pad, you pay $40 for a really nice insulated pad and $5 for some added "insurance" insulation. I did not need to use the mylar car window sun shade but I had it with me just in case.All in all, I am very please with the quality and functionality of this product, and this pad [along with a Mylar car window sun shade] will be going with me everywhere unless I am camping in the winter.*Be cautious to prevent hypothermia, whether using this pad or any other pads. Know your gear and test your gear and methods ahead of time, don't get stuck in a compromising situation in the middle of nowhere. I would not want anyone to jeopardize their safety thinking what works for me will definitely work for them, or perhaps jeopardize safety by misinterpreting or missing certain context. There is no exact science to combat mother nature and the elements, while it's great to seek advice from others (and important) - a lot of it is thought, planning, and trial and error. Happy trails everyone...

Inflates easy and is comfortable. Definitely recommend
