Is this too large to pack for a trip? Looking for a portable bed for overnights.

It won't fit a black trash bag. It does not have a handle to carry or a carry case. It is unwieldy to carry if not bound together by a string or placed in a huge case. If you are travelling in a SUV or 4x4 vehicle, this could easily be taken for the purpose. You would need some space in your car to take it along. It is doable really. On another note, have had two guests who slept on it already and both were pleased with the quality of the mattress.

i mean, it's pretty light and folds up... it's about the size of 1.5 standard pillows. it could fit anywhere really so i would say that this is great for a trip.

Hi, the dimensions when closed are 25 x 27 x 9 inches. It's light and folds easily. Would fit in a car, it isn't very pliable. I think it would problematic taking it through an airport or on a train. Hope this helps.

If you have a large trunk or Mini Van it may be ok. It does not "roll" up. Other than that it's not bad to sleep on.

Listed dimensions from Stef are pretty accurate. It's a pretty big bag honestly. Large enough to hold the sleep system with room to spare. I would dare say that you could fit a loosely rolled commercial sleeping bag in it with no problem ex. coleman, North Face or similar without compression bag.

I personally think it's too heavy/bulky to transport. It's really big and a pain to roll up and put away. I would not recommend it for camping.

I think it would be big enough if you don't mind sleeping close, but don't be thinking king size bed. The bigger issue is that one person would have the lightweight piece below him (warmer) and the other would have the lightweight piece above her. (cooler.) The best part about this bag is that you can flip it over during the night as temperatures drop. But with two people sleeping on two of these bags, you would to lose this ability.

Yes it is an excellent travel crib. We have taken it on many trips. Very easy to set up and take down.

I don't know if I would call it portable. It is about 25 inches long and lightweight. I can see throwing it in for a car trip, but I'm not sure if you would want to take up suitcase space - definitely not carry on. Hope this helped.

If you buy the LARGE size....Yes, no problem. It is huge. I have a coleman 6 person instant-tent (in the box), two queen size inflatable mattresses, and two foldable "camping chairs" in mine with room to spare!

The size of this mat and the thickness is not suitable for travel. It really is meant to be left in the home. You can fold it into fours at most, to move it from room to room I roll it up. But it really is not made to take with you on a trip. Keep in mind that I have the largest size and don't know from experience with the other sizes.

Not backpacking size. It's more for tent or outdoor sleeping. Probably a foot in diameter.

its not going to be good for travel. You might want to look into the crib size as this model is for a twin bed. A suggestion for a short term is to roll several towels a log and place under the sheet on the open side of the bed.

This is my favorite bag. It should be fine for you unless fully loaded. The bag expands to a pretty large size. So if you don't need to pack it full, should be fine

The damned thing is huge, if you are packing go with something much smaller. This sucker's for car camping. (The power port in the side wall is a dead giveaway for that!)

I believe you could take the mattress on a plane, could be packed in a suitcase along with other personals or even in a carry on bag. It folds into a small package, but make sure you check the total weight and restrictions on weight. Our grandkids just love the air bed.

Def could not be used for backpacking, at least for me. It's bulky and heavy. But warm for car camping. I dont have the stuffed dimensions b\c this was a gift for a car campet-person.

mine came in a box, didnt have a bag with it. i will be putting mine in a twin mattress zippered protector and carrying it that way when i move. it would be hard to compress it though im sure. i would try to get a bag that has an easy carry handle if you can, or whatever is easiest to pick it up. the thing is somewhat heavy but not as bad as a real mattress. i have a 1 inch polyeurethane egg crate pad on mine, then a 3 inch latex foam mattress pad under that to make it comfortable to sleep on. the length of the mattress is about 77 inches, which is nice because its not too long like an ex long twin mattress, but not too short for me like a twin bed is. im 5'9 mine came in a box, didnt have a bag with it. i will be putting mine in a twin mattress zippered protector and carrying it that way when i move. it would be hard to compress it though im sure. i would try to get a bag that has an easy carry handle if you can, or whatever is easiest to pick it up. the thing is somewhat heavy but not as bad as a real mattress. i have a 1 inch polyeurethane egg crate pad on mine, then a 3 inch latex foam mattress pad under that to make it comfortable to sleep on. the length of the mattress is about 77 inches, which is nice because its not too long like an ex... » Read More mine came in a box, didnt have a bag with it. i will be putting mine in a twin mattress zippered protector and carrying it that way when i move. it would be hard to compress it though im sure. i would try to get a bag that has an easy carry handle if you can, or whatever is easiest to pick it up. the thing is somewhat heavy but not as bad as a real mattress. i have a 1 inch polyeurethane egg crate pad on mine, then a 3 inch latex foam mattress pad under that to make it comfortable to sleep on. the length of the mattress is about 77 inches, which is nice because its not too long like an ex long twin mattress, but not too short for me like a twin bed is. im 5'9 « Show Less

It depends. I love this pack, but primarily use it for long day hikes in the a white Mountains where weather can be very unpredictable so I tend to carry extra gear. This would not be suitable for overnights requiring a tent & sleeping bag, but if all you need is a tarp, go for it. It's a great pack

It definitely is portable to take to a hotel. Just put it in a bag of your choice to take it along with you as it is large to carry otherwise.
