Choosing the best camping air mattresses can be overwhelming! There are so many sizes, styles, and features to choose from – how do you find the right one? We found 10 amazing mattresses that will suit all kinds of needs and budgets, so you can find one quickly for your next camping trip, or keep one around when guests come to visit! Before we get into the reviews, here are a few things to consider before buying a new air mattress.
Size: Most camping mattresses come in standard bed sizes (twin, queen, king, etc.). Choose the correct mattress size to fit inside your tent, vehicle, or spare bedroom. This also allows you to plan to bring sheets or blankets that fit as well!
Dimensions: In addition to telling you the standard mattress sizes, we also noted the dimensions of each mattress when they’re fully inflated. That way, you can ensure your mattress will fit the space and height properly – especially for tents and SUVs!
Pump Included: When buying a new camping air mattress, make sure to pay attention to whether or not it comes with a pump. Most come with an electric or hand pump of some kind, but others may require you purchase your own.
Capacity: Each air mattress has its own maximum weight capacity, which ensures the mattress will stay fully inflated and won’t burst while you’re on it. This is important to note, especially if you plan to sleep on it with a partner!
Waterproof: A waterproof air mattress is important to have if you plan to take it on an outdoor trip or sleep out under the stars! It will not only repel water from the ground, it will also repel spills from drinks.
Warranty: When investing in a quality air mattress for your next camping trip, it’s important to pay attention to the warranty! Defects happen, and it’s good to know the company will stand by their product and help if something goes wrong.
Now that you have a good idea of what you’ll need, let’s find you the best camping air mattress for you! We researched a variety of air mattresses at a variety of price points that are perfect for backpacking trips, camping in the backyard, inflating in a spare bedroom for guests, and more!
