Our top pick of the best inflatable camping mattresses for you this camping season is the SoundAsleep Dream Series which is available in Twin, Queen, and King sizes for all tent sizes to ensure a comfortable sleep whether you’re in a solo tent, enjoying a solo camping trip or packed like sardines alongside your siblings.

The ComfortCoil technology ensures a blissful rest, while the extra thick style offers greater support and feels more like a bed. The built-in pump is easy to use and inflates (and deflates) the mattress in less than 5 minutes. However, the short cord may cause problems with positioning.

With a built-in air pump and a year-long warranty, the King Koil Air Mattress is a high-range choice for the luxury camping fanatics among us. It’s extra thick for improved comfort and support, while the flocked top ensures softness you’d usually only expect from your bed at home.

You’ll also get a built-in camping pillow to save packing space and ease any neck issues when out in the wilderness, while the coil beam construction ensures your back, shoulders, and hips feel refreshed and resists sinking overnight.

If you’re looking for excellent value for your blow up mattress, the Intex Classic Downy Airbed Set is a quality choice for campers on a budget. It’s not as flashy as the King Koil, but for shorter trips or for times where you need to save on space, this proves you don’t have to go big to be comfortable. Included are two inflatable pillows and a hand pump while the waterproof material protects you and the mattress from cold and damage should a storm strike suddenly. The 2-in-1 valve ensures easy inflation and deflation, even if it might take longer than electric options, but at least you can get a quick arm workout in.

The Lightspeed Outdoors 2 Person Air Mattress is a durable but lightweight available in 6 colors and perfect for the coming camping opportunities of the season.

It is quick to inflate, while the even weight distribution ensures a comfortable sleep without disturbances from whoever crashes down next to you at the end of the night, whether it be your partner or Bigfoot. If you’re a fan of a firm mattress, you can inflate until you find the perfect level for a satisfying slumber, and the 2-way valve ensures straightforward inflation and deflation. While comfortable, it’s not as warm as we’d like by itself, so it’s best used during summer and in warm climates. As long as you use it in these conditions, you’ll have one of the greatest rests of your camping life.
