Is it a good mattress to take camping?

It needs to be plugged in for the silent pump to prevent deflation. If you have a power source it would be great.

Only if you have access to an adequate source of electricity. The second (quiet) pump requires electricity full time in order to keep the mattress inflated.

if you have a power source to blow it up, it would be very nice, and comfortable, to have.

I wouldn't since it needs electricity to make it so it won't go down and electricity to inflate. It is more as a second bed than a camping one.

It is pretty heavy. I doubt one will use it for camping. I like this item. I put it on wood surface and it is comfortable enough for sleeping.

This mattress is very durable. Our use has only been sporadic so our experience is not applicable to your situation. I would say that it is very comfortable and it appears that it will last a longer time than its competitors.

I have a queen sized double stack Coleman air mattress and it fits in with ease. Plus room to move around the bed and stand up fully,though I'm only 5'3", there's enough room for a 6ft person to also get around with ease. Lanterns can be placed on the floor or there's a small hook on the top for mini lanterns. Nothing too heavy though. There's like 2 extra feet of room on each side of the air mattress. I also use fans at festivals... In a normal tent you die in the heat, but with the rain flap off and a small fan the tent stays cool because of all the mesh and a good breeze. You won't regret buying this tent. I've used it more than I can count since I bought it last year it's roomy and tough, holds up in terrential winds and rain even half-assed steaked down.

This is a pretty comfortable and high enough. If you are worrying about softness, trust me, it is just perfect matress.

I haven't used it very much. I think it would work I purchased it for camping

We haven't tested it out yet. It did come nicely packaged. It went from flat to full in 15 minutes. It didn't have an overly strong smell. First impression it felt firm and supportive. We've got a week of camping planned for the 4th of July. I'll be sure to update your question when I have a better answer. After sleeping on this mattress for 7 nights I have no regrets with our purchase. It's firm enough that you don't feel like you're sinking, and soft enough that I didn't wake up with tingling legs, sore hips, or a stiff neck, which was the norm on our old innerspring camper mattress.

I am a true frugal camper, I feel it is a good value. if you want a more comfortable night sleep while backpacking, then this is one of the best values in a sleeping pad. the specs compare right there with pads costing 3x as much it has an r-rating of 3.7 so it is almost a 4-seaon pad, and the weight and volume are right on target. However, if you sleep fine on cold hard ground it may not be worth it.

I bought this for a camp bed and it is satisfactory for that. I bought a 3 inch memory foam topper for it which improved the comfort. For myself, I don't think that it would be satisfactory for sleeping on every night year round. I needed a mattress that I could fold up to store, so this fit the bill. I have a friend who bought a LUCID by LinenSpa 10" Firm Memory Foam Mattress 25-Year Warranty ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00478U768/ref=twister_dp_update?ie=UTF8&psc;=1) and he loves it. He says that it doesn't heat up and he has been sleeping on it for 3 years now (2 people). I didn't get this because of the storage issue and that it would spend the winter in an unheated space...hope that this helps. I bought this for a camp bed and it is satisfactory for that.

It's a firmer mattress than I expected, but overall I have been pleased with this mattress. I've had it for around five years and find the comfort enduring. Just make sure to put it on a solid base, rather than box springs.

Absolutely!. This is a perfect mattress for camping and would also fit and outdoor chaise lounge

The mattress is a soft medium...very comfortable, but I haven't slept an entire night on it yet, so I'm not sure how my back will hold up. You might want to look at some other options, because it is definitely not firm.

This is a firm mattress. I think you will be fine on it. It is very good support and springs back as you move.

Never tried putting a mattress on it. My guess is it would not work very well as it is not as wide as a twin mattress. We use it as a spare bed all the time but with a sleeping bag. It is very comfortable with the sleeping bag.

I have a king size and I definitely wouldn't consider it for camping. If you get a smaller one, then maybe...Even then, I think it would be difficult. Unless of course you have an RV and just want to store somewhere in there till needed. You might be able to get a single size folded up and stuffed into a really big plastic bag that air gets sucked out if. If they even make them that big.

Two answers, Elizabeth. (1) I'd be afraid that with an overlap of 4.5" on each side (39" mattress, 30" cot), someone might tip over. Plus, someone heavy might overload a cot with a real mattress on it. (2) I've found that it's very comfortable with just a pad or even a sleeping bag. Try it with a yoga mat or something similar first. If that doesn't work, try a blow-up designed for camping. I think you'll find it just fine for a night or two.

We use ours in our RV and it's just on a plywood frame that's typical in RV's, but it would be just fine on a box spring or any other firm or semi firm platform. This is a wonderful mattress and worth the money we spent on it. Both my wife and I sleep like a baby when we're camping now.
