Genius pump

This packable camp mat features a completely built in foot pump that will fully inflate the mattress in under 5 minutes. The sponge material pump is not bothersome at all when lying down.
When first unrolled, the uninflated mat measures a surprising 90" long, but the pad shrinks to a more normal 75"-ish size. I'm 5'10", and I had ample foot room.
Also featured is a built in pillow, and a series of male and female snaps along the edges, allowing you to attach additional mattresses.
Comfort: My best camping days may be behind me, so comfort is relative. At 235#, I did feel the floor at times, but then, I was also able to lie on my side comfortably. In a actual camping situation, I'd have some sort of additional sleeping bag padding below me as well as another pillow. In camping, size, weight and cost are often balanced with and traded for comfort.
A pack bag, instructions and three small patches are included.

Kind of Glampy?

I'm a judgy camper with high standards for my gear. I used these camping mats this weekend on an "indoor" camping trip. I slept on them for two nights. It took two nights for me to raise my review level to 4 stars rather than fewer. Bottom line - it gets 4 stars for not losing any air over the whole weekend, for being comfortable, and for being very easy to break down and put away. Here's more detail:

- No pump needed and you don't have to use your breath.
- They snap together.
- They stack well (I'm a glamper - my bed needs to be cushy, so I want to sleep with two mats between me and the ground).
- When it comes time to deflate them, roll them back up, and store them back in their drawstring bag, that goes fast and is easy to do.
- Comfortable
- All the materials are decent.

Yes, each mat comes with three little square adhesive patches in case you puncture the mat, but these mats aren't going to hold up to thorns, so keep that in mind - I think they would be easy to puncture - so take care that you don't set your tent down on any thorns, or let any thorns come into your tent on your shoes...
- I wouldn't rough-house or horse around on these mats - I wouldn't let kids use them unless they were very well-behaved. Also, I don't know how well they would hold up under a large person. I am a short, lightweight person. I think anyone over 5'8", 180 lbs might not be comfortable on this mat (just a guess, though).
- Though they stack well, the pillows get too tall when stacked - so you might turn one, one way and one the other way.

Overall, I think they are decent mats. But they feel a bit on the delicate side, so they will require mindful handling.

Surprised by the comfort

My husband and I are big time campers and love to go into the Boundary Waters, which means we are always looking for light weight but comfortable sleeping set ups. We are both in out 60's and are tall. My Husband is 6ft in,190 lbs and myself 5ft 10in, at 245lbs.

The King Camp Sleeping Pads 2 pack is a good buy. The length once blown up is 77 inches long 27 inches wide and about 2.4 inch thick on the area that you would put your body..The pillow part is a bit higher then 2.4 in., it is a nice height for side sleeping. For us sleeping on the pads we are happy that we can stretch out without our feet going off the edge. Moving about on the mat was easy and comfortable. To my surprise I thought they would be more noise (plastic sound). but once we laid down the noise was very minimal and did not wake up when every we had to adjust our sleeping positions.

The snap together is nice, but we fine that the two top snaps after the pillow tend to get undone when getting settled in for the night. But the bottom snaps that are from the mid hip to feet stayed together. We like the snap together because ti keeps the pads from sliding about and out from under us during the night. We are in a two person tent and the Pads cover the floor of the tent and when you will for sure find camping sites that are level the mats being snapped together helps and makes the beds seem more stable in the tent.

Comfort 鈥 We did not bottom out when sleeping. Kept us up and off the ground all night. For camping the pads are comfortable.

Packing and Unpacking 鈥 each mat has it's own bag that comes with instructions and repair patches. The mats each have an elastic band that hold it in place. The elastic band is cheep and I don't think they will last a season, already the are starting to deteriorate, but not a deal breaker.

To unpack I put one mat at a time into the tent and foot pump it up. The pumping seems to take longer then I was expecting, but once you get into the swing of it goes well. Hint on pumping up the pads, lift your foot off the pump completely (exposing the pump hole) on the up motion then press down. The pillow will blow up first once that is blown up the rest of the bed goes quickly. To deflate you just need to unplug the vent on the pillow. It deflates quickly. When rolling it up I keep the deflate plug open. I fold the bed into 3 parts the long way and start rolling it up from the foot pump. By the time you get to the pillow the extra air can be removed easily. Once air is squeezed out I close the deflate plug and put the elastic band around and slip back in the bags. The bag make it easy to slide into our back packs.

Compact and comfortable

My other camping pad is one of the self-inflating ones, which cost about twice as much as this one, and, I have to say, I like this one better. I took it out recently for a two day camping trip and it worked great. Its much smaller when deflated than my other sleeping pad, and its easier to pack up too.Blowing it with the included foot pump is pretty easy. I timed it, and it took me about a minute and a half to blow it up. Id recommend still bringing a pillow even though the pad has a built in pillow, but in a pinch, like if you forgot your pillow (definitely have done that camping many times) I dont think it would be so bad.I dont weigh that much, and this pad was able to suspend me off of the ground. Its not like sleeping on a mattress or something, but its comparable to other sleeping pads. Although I didnt have any issues, I would be a little concerned for heavier people that this pad wouldnt give them enough support.If youre looking for a compact sleeping pad, this is one to consider. It works well and I think its a good value for the price.

Great camping pad, totally worth it. Comfortable, easy, superlight and well made.

Great sleeping pad. It is super reliable and comfortable and really easy to inflate. You could pump it with your foot or blow it up with air pump from the top. It inflates very quickly. When rolled it up it is super lightweight so it's great for backpacking or hiking. It comes with a built-in great support for my head rest. I also like the color, it's a dark blue. It's said you can snap 2 pads together to make a double pad. Will try. Well-made and total worth the price.

Surprisingly comfortable for it's size...

Having slept on other thin camping pads recently, I felt every rock, stick and divot under the pad. After that experience, I vowed to buy a traditional air mattress before our next camping trip. Instead, I decided to give this KingCamp Sleeping Pad a try, but I didn't have high hopes.

I was pleasantly surprised. The KingCamp pad is compact and lightweight, however once inflated, it was firm and provided adequate support, even on hard ground.

Once unboxed, the tiny package unrolled easily and revealed a small foam area that serves as a built-in pump. This took a few moments to figure out the proper technique, but once I got the hang of it, the super-thin pad quickly sprang to life. When fully inflated it stands a few inches thick with a firm, pleated texture and the built in pillows actually provided decent support for my neck. Best of all, it provides more cushioning than our other camping pads.

The pad also has two well-designed inflation/deflation ports that could easily be used with an electric pump, although one was not included.

Overall, I'm very impressed by the KingCamp Sleeping Pad and believe it is an excellent option for tent camping, backpacking, and even stargazing.

good

The air mattresses are very eaxy to inflate, and are a great thickness. They are very small in size when rolled up, and easy to transport.

Comfortable Camping Sleep

This pad is perfect for a comfortable sleep after a full day of hiking. Easy to inflate and fits nicely into a small carry bags. Takes so much less space than a rolled bag. Not as great when on rocky surfaces as could be punctured. Great buy.

Thank you for sharing your experience, SoCal Gang! We're so glad to hear that the KingCamp Ultralight Sleeping Pad has made your post-hike rest more comfortable and easy to carry. We understand that rocky surfaces can be challenging, so we always recommend using a groundsheet for extra protection when camping on rough terrain.

It's ok, but not thick

The foot pump took a minute to figure out the best way to inflate the mattress. I found placing my heels on the pump and going up and down on my toes did the trick the fastest. The biggest frustration was positioning my feet and the plug properly. It kept sucking the plug in and not allowing it to inflate.

Comfortable side sleeper

This pad is as-advertised. It's easy to inflate, and the built-in foot pump is convenient and works reasonably quickly. The pad itself is large - bigger than all my other camping pads (foam and inflatable). It folds down very small, and while it's not ultra-lightweight, it's not heavy at all.

Great for camping!

This inflatable camping bed is comfortable to sleep on. Pretty long so it’s great for tall people. The built in foot pump is an awesome idea.. no need to bring a portable pump. The material is good but seems a bit thin so I made sure I don’t have any pointy rocks under it when I setup. It did come with a few repair patches just in case. I’m satisfied with this inflatable bed and would recommend to fellow campers!

Great for camping!

The ridges were very pronounced, but once I got used to them it was pretty easy to sleep on. The inflating takes only a few minutes and is relatively easy. I liked how there was a built-in pillow that is a bit hard. It did successfully cushion me from the hard ground, so it accomplished the job. Over all would recommend to someone else.
