Intex Inflatable Fabric Camping Mattress with Built-In Pillow, 72.5" x 26.5" x 6.75"

July 30, 2016 UPDATE:He's mats are still going strong after numerous nights spent in various climates! They even survived a slumber party with 15 year old girls! I'm VERY happy with the quality of these and my high recommendations stand! Best $10 I ever spent!As much as I hate to admit it, I'm getting older. But being in my 30s doesn't mean I have to stop being awesome! And part of my awesome sauce involves spending a good amount of time outdoors. I love to camp and hike, and I hope that I'm still at it when I'm 70! I fully intend on growing into a nimble, grey haired manx!So when I was planning a trip to Cataloochee in the Smoky Mountains, I was looking for some sort of mat to use under my sleeping bag. I'm pretty sure my days of outright sleeping in the dirt are over.I looked at many, many options - from the high end ultra lightweight backpacking mats to full blown air mattresses. Sadly, I'm on a strict budget and as cool as the high tech mats are, I couldn't justify spending the money. The air mattresses were all too big for my ULW backpacking tent. So what's a girl to do?!Nearing the point of frustrated implosion, I finally came across this fabulous camping mattress! FINALLY! I found something that was AFFORDABLE, RUGGED, and easy to pack! So I ordered one for each of us!This little mattress is perfectly sized and would be perfect for most adults. It's a middle ground between a camping pad and an air mattress. Set side by side, I was able to fit both mats in the tent without trouble. It does take some time, but we were able to blow them up using good ole fashioned lung power. I'd say it took 4-5 minutes each, including necessary breaks. But a foot pump will go with us next time.After using them for a week in the backcountry wilds, we both agree that it was the best $10 we had spent on outdoor gear! I know I've never slept that well sleeping on the cold ground!While this is obviously too heavy for flashpackers and ULW hikers, this is an awesome choice for everyone else. And I will be using this anytime I'm not hiking too far to the camp site!This is a very well built and rugged camping pad that easily held the weight of an adult male and an adult female - both sturdy humans! So I very highly recommend this to anyone looking for an affordable and very comfortable option for camping!If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reply to this review, tweet me, or shoot me an email!

We have several Intex twin mattresses that our family has used for camping a few times a year without any problems so I didn't hesitate to buy three of these smaller air mattresses for the youngest kids (15, 13, and 11) for their week-long summer camps. I thought I would try these since they are a pound lighter and looks a lot easier to inflate than the other "small" Intex air pad that I purchased for my 17 year old.  Intex Inflatable Cot Size Camp Bed, Yellow, 30" x 72" x 4" I was right. This one weighs in a about 45oz and is much easier to inflate. (The air flow of the other one is restricted between air chambers.) The pillow, which I thought would be a gimmick, is not too bad. Side sleepers (me) might still want another pillow. The pad is 72" long and it's a bit short (I'm 6'3") and my feet hang off the end, but most people won't notice at all. I'm using as comparison my Alps Mountaineering Featherlite Long at 77"x24" and 25 ounces.  ALPS Mountaineering Featherlite Series Air Pad Pros: Appears durable like my other Intek twin mattressesWide enough and long enough and thick enough for most people.Functional pillowCons: Probably still too heavy for backpacking, unless you'll be staying a few nights in the same place.[7/13/17 update] One of the three air pads I purchased failed on first use at the seam. I tried the patch, but being a seam, it still didn't hold air. Amazon replaced the air pad, but with the 30-day return policy make sure you try them out as soon as you receive them.

As I approach middle age I've become a lot less enthusiastic about sleeping on the ground. In preparation for a five night camping trip, I started shopping for inflatable mattresses. The self-inflatable sleeping pads are awfully nice, but I needed more than one so this cheaper option ($11 at the time) won out.This mattress worked well and I generally recommend it. The thick vinyl construction is noticeably better that the thin camping pads you'll find in big box stores. While any air mattress has the real potential to leak, I didn't experience any leaks in five days using two new mattresses. (I do recommend packing a bottle of Coghlan's 8880 Airstop on any trip that depends on air mattresses, just in case.) One possible downside to the heavy construction is an air mattress that is probably too heavy for backpacking. I also agree with other reviewers that the pool float valve isn't inspired, but I was able to make it work (with a bellows pump) without major problems.This pad should fit one average sized adult reasonably well, though it's probably best for back sleepers, as there isn't much extra room to roll around. Inflated, I measure it at almost exactly 24" x 72". I find the mattress to be much more comfortable if you inflate it to only around 70% capacity. Less air makes it less rigid, and it will better conform to the shape of your body. Though not a premium camping pad, this mattress delivers a big improvement in comfort for campers on a budget.*** 2014 update: I paid around eleven bucks for this item. At that price, it's a good value. But I've also noticed that the price can almost double at times. If this pad is more pricey than usual, take a look at the budget Thermarest or Alps Mountaineering self-inflating pads. If the prices are similar, it's a no brainer to splurge for the self-inflating pad.

Comfortable and great value for money

Tengo un par de colchonetas inflables Klymit (más de $1000.00 c/u), ahora compré esta de marca Intex por $145.00 la diferencia en precio es mucha, pero la Intex es muy ligera, cómoda y 10 cm más ancha que la Klymit. Si no se requiere de algo muy especializado como alpinismo, yo recomiendo esta colchoneta de bajísimo costo pero muy buena calidad.

This is a very nice comfortable and lightweight addition to my hiking kit,I slept very well and it seems robust as it stayed inflated for 2 nights.I recommend this very highly.

Matelas pour la piscine , impeccable

Il materassino è comodo e resistente. Lo strato telato su uno dei lati conferisce una maggiore resistenza. Basti pensare che c'è stato su anche il mio cane con le sue belle unghiette. Non puzza neanche di plasticaccia (Ovvio un po' all'inizio appena aperto)
