ZOOOBELIVES Extra Thickness Inflatable Sleeping Pad with Built-in Pump, Most Comfortable Camping Mattress for Backpacking, Car Traveling and Hiking, Compact and Lightweight - Airlive2000

I have had this for a few camping seasons now. We mostly go car camping, but we brought them backpacking as well. Super comfy to sleep on and I even end up on my side and it still works wonderfully.Ease of use: Super easy to inflate. Also, since it has the flip open valve to deflate (which is also easy and completely deflates easily) I use a motorized pump. You just gotta get the right inflation for comfort. They’re right in that it only takes a couple minutes pumping by foot. I have mine down to a numbered count for my perfect inflation point. It fits in the stuff sack with room to spare so even if you have to put it away fast you’ll still have room to fit it in.Comfort: This has been great on my back. I have back problems and foam is out of the question, but a cot takes up too much room. This is a great compromise and comfy too. Like I said, I found my sweet spot for inflation for sleeping on my back and it still works well for when I want to sleep on my side. I also used this for a campout where the temp ended up dropping down to 38F. It kept me quite insulated from the ground.Durability: Excellent! It’s tough. Material is thick and you can just tell that it’s gonna hold up.Cons: The easy release for adjusting pressure doesn’t work on any of the three mattresses that we got. We have to carefully open the main valve so just a little leaks out. This is unfortunate because I can’t just adjust it while lying on it to get to my sweet spot if I over-inflate (especially with the motorized inflator.)It’s heavy for backpacking (partly due to the quality of the materials it’s made of, so no stars taken off for this,) but it was something I was willing to sacrifice for comfort. It also takes up a lot of space because of the built-in foot pump. It’s just fine for car camping though.Also, I’m a big gal, so i wish they had a wide option, but i still fit on it, but my arms drop off (due to my size.)Overall, great quality product that’s easy to use, pack away, it’s warm, and comfortable to sleep on, I highly recommend this product (and have not been paid or given product for this review).

Just returned from a three week road trip.I rented an SUV and slept in the back, seats folded down.The first night, I pumped up the mattress and it held the inflation for essentially the entire trip.I think I had to pump it a couple times when the air became cold and the pressure dropped.But this is normal thermodynamics.The mattress was very comfortable and provided the same quality sleep I have at home.At the end of the trip, deflation was exceptionally simple and rolled up easily to fit in my large roller luggage.I would recommend this durable mattress for road trips while camping in a vehicle,but it's too heavy for backpacking unless you really want a luxury mattress and can "afford" the extra weight on your back.

Unfolding and unrolling it, it looks short and narrow. I am 5'11'' 160 lbs and it doesn't have a mm to spare. There's a lot of pieces to manage when inflating/deflating, but it's not too bad. You may feel silly and be unsure if you're doing it right for the first minute (especially if your dog is standing on it staring at you), but then you'll see it start to inflate more noticeably.It folds and rolls back up easily (I wasn't careful or slow) and it slipped back in the generous case well). It seems well made, well made and not-sharp seams, and I'm far less worried about it getting punctured than my actual tent.Update after camping- my back went out right before camping and I'm so glad I got this pad. It's a keeper, very durable and was very very comfortable. Conditions were in the 50s and 60s overnight with high high humidity/dampness. I did not experience a cooling or chilling transfer from the pad. Ironically, after having unpacked it and inflating it at least 4 times at home before vacation with no issues, when I did it at camp (with family watching), something went wrong and the foot pad air pocket was just trapping air and nothing was happening. After trying with and without shoes, multiple people trying and wasting about 30 minutes, I brought it to the firm deck behind the cabin and when I started pumping it with my foot there was a pop sound and give and then it suddenly started inflating normally. Not sure what was stuck or why but we'll see if it ever happens again. I'm taking it with me to the beach as well since the mattresses are usually horrible.I used a Teton 0 degree tafetta sleeping bag and the downside was that it slipped and slid all night on top of this, but not because the air pad was slick but because the sleeping bag is.Regardless, I highly recommend! It's easy to pack, unpack, inflate (usually), stow, clean, and adjust to perfect support. I don't have 2 yet so I can't test the snaps yet but will report back if/when I get a second.UPDATE AFTER A YEAR!I love these things, I did indeed get a second one and they snap together well- if you really shift/yank on it they will unsnap but it hasn't happened during normal sleep/tossing/turning. I unfortunately lost the white plug for my first pad and contacted the company and they immediately shipped out a free replacement. These things stand up to a lot of abuse and no leaks or damage. They clean easily, withstand a 107lb dog standing/walking on them. My only beef is that they get tricky to inflate sometimes. I have occasionally had to take it onto a hard flat surface to inflate, and sometimes it just doesn't get anywhere and I have to reposition, flap it about, check the valves, and do a little dance and then try again. It can take me 5-6 minutes per pad, it has taken me over 20 minutes a few times (good cardio I guess).I really like how you can adjust the pressure, these are super comfortable, and I will continue to take them everywhere where I am camping or there are just bad mattresses. My sleeping bag is very slick and slides all over on them, but thankfully it's always been warm enough that I just opened the bag and slept on top with just a separate sheet.

I’ve had two of these bad boys for 3 years now, bought another for a friend, and recommended purchase to several more. They have never fallen in terms of quality, ease of set up and break down, and use. My husband and I car camp several times a year in either a 2008 fire escape or a 2021 jeep grand Cherokee l. We’re not small people either, and these pillows of wonder fit great in both cars, albeit they fit in the larger jeep better. We’ve brought them from Texas to North Carolina, from Austin Texas to the Davis mountains outside Marfa, and from Austin to the Grand Canyon on a week long camping excursion. They never lose air. It takes a couple minutes to pump up by hand or a few seconds if you want to use a pump. Break down takes about 3 minutes, and it’s SO easy to put them back in the little sack they come in. They’re very lightweight and take up very little room amongst all our gear. I can’t recommend these highly enough.
