For those who attempt to camp with traditional blow-up air mattresses, the experience can be deflating. There's the issue of having to find power to engage the internal inflation fan or, of course, running the risk of hitting something sharp when carrying the mattress from the car (where the power is) to the tent. The best solution is a self-inflating sleeping pad like this one from Elecinnov. They're easy to carry and set up inside the tent in less than a minute, away from sharp thorns and spines that could compromise the seal. All you have to do is pop the valves. Add a foam mat underneath for optimal outdoor sleep.
