The size and weight are reasonable. I use this unit for camping, but keep in mind there is no way to inflate this unit other than the built in air pump, and it is powered by a 110v outlet. I've owned and used this mattress for about 2 years of camping and every other night I have to take it out, plug it into a power inverter in my truck, and firm it up.

It is not small but folds up much tighter and smaller than the intex. Tends to stretch a little the first night but then holds air and stays firm much longer than the intex. I love this mattress.

Hi, Great question. The mattress is about 20 pounds and come in a box which is 18x14x8. It is possible to get the unit back into the box after use, however most people do not fold it that tightly and keep it in the storage bag which also comes with the unit. Truth be honest though, the Dream Series is designed for indoor use and is not really meant to be used for camping or in the outdoors. The unit has an internal motor that can only be powered with a wall outlet. No external motors or battery operated motors can be used to inflate the mattress. Also, the mattress thickness is designed for a clean, flat indoor surface and is not meant to withstand punctures from rocks and sticks like you would often find on the bottom of or underneath a tent. We are in the process of developing a unit specifically intended for camping but it still being tested and will not be available for purchase for a few more months. We are a family business that prides ourselves on our integrity and when our product is not right for a customer we always try to be upfront, rather than push the sale and potentially have them call us with a problem later on. We wanted to do the same in this case. We hate losing a customer but think you will be better served with an air mattress that is intended for outdoor use. If you have any more additional questions please call our customer support team at any time. Regards, The SoundAsleep Team

Folds up very easily and fits into the supplied travel bag.Similar in size to backpack .Not heavy and very easy to set up.I highly recommend this product.

I would say 3 with room to spare, 4 snug, 5 pretty tight if possible at all. I'm basing that off of:Having gone camping with four people total. Two people shared a queen bed, and the other two slept on the ground. Assuming a queen bed is about the same as two twins, and with the room we had to spare, I'd say you can get 4 twin beds in there, maybe 5.

I've never personally slept on the Intex mattress but I have laid on it. Our guests have found it comfortable and they're older. I believe that it's firm enough to be supportive for one's back. You do have a fair amount of wiggle room with how much you inflate the mattress--the more inflated, the firmer it will be. If it's too firm, you can always let some air out of it.

The double size is about 1.5' wide and 2.5' long when deflated and put in bag. It weighs about 40-50#, I believe. However, DON'T buy an Aerobed!!! Had one for years that was great. It broke, I bought another Aerobed, and it broke within the first month. Went to Coleman who makes Aerobeds and asked them to honor the warranty. They refused and said they'd give me a 25% discount on a new one. Why would I want 25% off something that broke? So I took my business to Intex. So far the new Intex has been GREAT!!! Good luck and safe travels!!!

This is by far the best inflatable mattress I've ever used. It inflates to approximately 4 inches thick and there is no noise. This is heavy though, so it's for car camping only.

I have the 9-inch premium mattress. It is not bad at all. It is not thin. It is heavy. It is firm and does not feel like an oversize sponge at all.The two other things I did get for mine were a "Luna Premium Hypoallergenic Zippered Bed Bug Proof Mattress Encasement 9" Height - Full Size"and a "Royal Heritage Home Burgandy Full Size Futon Cover"These are not very expensive but make the whole unit seem like it is.

Hi Liz, I have the twin size mattress and it fits in my 3 person tent just fine.

I think you'll be fine. I have a super-heavy full queen natural rubber latex mattress and a box spring and normal metal frame. Plus about 375 ponds of people sleeping on top. It's a solid as can be for sleeping or whatever else...

We just got this mattress a month ago for our camper. We both love it. It does not make us hot. It's super comfortable, and you should know that it's firm, so if you like soft mattresses, this won't be a good fit. My husband and I have slept really well on this mattress and are thinking of getting another one for our queen bed at home.

Is it tent camping or out "under the stars"?.....Tent camping for sure....the great thing about the bed is the almost instant inflate and deflate.....I bought an electric pump for mine and it is awesome......I bought 2 twins rather than a queen because it isn't comfortable for 2 in a blow up bed....the twins are really much better (my opinion)......

The 4-person tent was tight for a blow-up queen size mattress so unless the cot is larger dimensions than a queen mattress it should be just fine. Mattress on average Dimensions: 78.0 " L x 60.0 " W

I really don't know. how well it sleeps on its own because I bought it to "soften" up a very firm mattress. But I do think you could roll it up and take it on a camping trip. When it is delivered, it is compressed down for shipping. Once it is opened and expands to size it should be easy to roll, just might be bulkier at full size....

it will definitely fit in your escape!!!! its rolled up into a smaller rectangular box....so you will not have to worry about the size.. its a little heavy so have someone help you carry it out to your truck or you can drag it... but not bad at all.. and this is the best mattress i have ever owned!!! you will be pleasantly surprised!!!! :)

You could probably get a queen mattress in the tent, but it'd be tight. On the plus side, it goes up super easy in about 5 minutes and is very lightweight. The base is 7x7, but it rapidly gets smaller as you go up, so your mattress would need to be (guessing) 78" maximum to fit without pushing on the sides. Queens are typically 78" on the long side, so it should technically fit. Short sides are around 58" so that leaves either 20" on one side or 10" on either side - pretty tight, but doable. Definitely measure the mattress you're planning on putting in this tent - extra thick mattresses (because the tent slopes in as it goes up) may even need to be less than 78".

I have placed this mattress in my for sure 7 foot wide glamper trailer and it is about 2 inches short of touching the sides. The mattress is nice and thick but fairly soft that a heavy person would weight it down. I'm 5'3 and weigh 120 so the mattress is perfect for me. I have yet to actually sleep on it tho. Its perfect for my trailer.

We had a queen size air mattress, a pack and play for the youngest and our oldest slep on a small mat next to the bed with olenty of room to spare. This tent is huge!!!
