KingCamp have pulled another top product out of the bag with their Deluxe double self-inflating mattress.

Lots of campers actually use a self inflating mattress to go on top of a camp bed for an even more home from home feel but this is not essential. Broadly, an R-value below two is best for summer use, two to four will suit three-season use, and winter campers should look for four or above. The Outdoor Revolution Skyfall Double 150 SIM is no exception to this experience and offers an immense 15cm of pure cushioned comfort for your nighttime napping. They can be rolled up tightly for easy transportation and are perfect for a range of camping activities, whether it’s for a good night’s sleep at a festival or taking on an expedition.In a first that we’ve seen, inflation and deflation are dealt with by two separate ‘twinlock’ valves – one inny and one outy! If you want to guarantee a great night's sleep under the stars, make sure you take a good quality camping pillow with you on your next trip. We packed our backpacks for camping trips ranging from wild camping in northern Scotland to glamping on the Cornish coast to test out these camping mats.

We never link to products unless we can honestly recommend them, and we always try to find the cheapest and best source for the camping gear we’re featuring. With the Cyclone Flip Valve inflation and deflation are much quicker and easier than traditional valves. It may be lighter for you to carry two sleeping pads and a lightweight 3-season sleeping bag, rather than a heavy 4-season sleeping bag and a standard mat.

Open a valve and Vango’s comfort mat fills with air and is ready to go in seconds, or you can top it up quickly if you prefer a firmer sleeping mat. Packed size is pretty compact at 67 x 32 x 32cm using the supplied carry bag and the weight is around 5kg which is about average for a large double SIM.

Personally, our preference would be for two Grandes placed next to each other, but it depends how intimate you want to get in the night! They also pack down smaller when not in use, so they’re the best choice for backpackers and wild campers. There’s no denying that the SIM was comfortable for my wife though who is a much more svelte 11 stone.The Air 10 Double SIM offers a very decent 10 cm of thickness and only takes around 5 minutes to fully inflate – all by itself!

It features our unique core cutting construction to create a smaller pack size without compromising on the. Well actually we didn’t really miss those extra 2cm, and the great insulation really made a difference on a cold autumn night.
