Camping comfort: air mattress or sleeping pad?

Camping airbed mattress or pad

No two campers are the same, and sleeping preferences vary from one person to another. From festivals to family holidays to hiking adventures, each camping trip will require different equipment for comfort and convenience. To help you decide between an air mattress or a sleeping pad for your camping trip, check out the information below to see where your camping style fits. 

Luxury camping mattress

Comfort-Conscious Campers

If comfort is your top priority, and you prefer the idea of "glamping" over a sleeping bag on the floor of a tent, then an airbed is definitely what you need and preferably a high one to give you that proper home-style comfort.

Our Tritech® airbeds are a great choice for luxury camping comfort. Add some soft blankets and pillows and you’re all set for a peaceful night’s rest. These airbeds come with a built-in electric pump so don't forget an adapter for your car.
