There are no prizes for guessing why the Mrs doesn’t ever want to come on the cold camping trips in winter or even the sunny ones in summer, and it has nothing to do with the company. It’s all about the sleeping arrangements, and it can throw anyone into a spin when they go from living it up in their comfy super king-sized bed surrounded by a hundred pillows and enough blankets to warm the entire house. So, imagine if you had a way to make your princess feel like a queen, and simply add something to your arsenal that will help get them to swag it with you in the bush. The first thing that comes to mind when you think of improving the comfort of your outback stays, is definitely the bedding and what it is you’re going to be laying on trying to get a good night’s sleep. A mattress is certainly a good start here and if you have one of these then you are well on your way to making camping that little bit more desirable, and not just receiving the same old ‘I’m not roughing it out there’. The problem with mattress is that foam doesn’t take much before it decides to turn into a pan cake and this can create discomfort due to lack of support, and also will not help you to stay warm. Sometimes it can even make it easier for moisture to creep into your bedding by lack of airflow and distance between your body and the ground, or car roof, depending on your setup. Of course, there are improvements you can add to your flooring to aid with this, and different designs will work better, but that only fixes the problem of moisture and cold and does not heed the mattress from folding down as thing as the newspaper you used to get the fire going.

Adding an inflatable mattress into your plethora of camping gear can be an amazing upgrade and will certainly add some creature comforts in your swag, under your sleeping bag, or even in a roof top tent. Various sizes are available on the market and can come in super handy even to pop up an extra bit of bedding at home when you have those random guests rock up at your door unannounced. Of course, when you think of something inflatable, the next thought is just how you’re going to get enough wind to blow it up without using your mouth and give yourself a headache that lasts for the night. Well, you’re going to need yet another piece of gear bumbling around in the back of 4WD which is going to get in the way. Some require specific hand pumps or special connections, but some have the ability of inflation using an air compressor, but it’s having to set that up too when it may be otherwise unrequired that makes this a painful option for some.

Hold it there though, because self-inflating mattresses are a thing, and they are here to remove all of those problems mentioned above, and simply allow you to add some extra comfort to your bedding and have no problem getting the better half to be away from her super king for a night or two! Kings have constructed a single and a queen sized self-inflating mattress, and not only do they inflate on their own, but they are also 100mm of pure thickness, making them super comfortable and ensuring your back stays well off the ground the whole time you’re asleep. With a soft topper these mattresses will make you feel like you are at home, no matter where you go, do it in style! A hardy PVC base protects the bottom from potential punctures and makes cleaning them off after a muddy trip even easier. They’re even equipped with their own carry bags for easy organisation and storage.

The Kings Single Self-Inflating Foam Mattress fits perfectly inside the Kings Single Swags and has plenty of length to keep you comfortable from head to toe. It also perfectly fits inside your swag along with the original mattress and creates an extra layer of comfort, or simply chuck it on the lounge room floor for when the kids have someone sleeping over. The Queen Sized Self-Inflating Foam Mattress fits perfectly inside the Bid Daddy Deluxe swags and carries all of the same features of the single version, just bigger! Allowing you to share the comfort underneath with your significant other, or simply spread out by yourself and enjoy some extra space, with superior comfort to keep you smiling. With an incredibly good price, you will be able to grab yourself whichever one you need, or one for the whole family, without breaking the bank, and not have to carry around unnecessary extra like pumps and inflating tools.

These camping mattresses are super easy to use, and quite literally inflate all by themselves, that’s right, not even a built-in pump is included in this mattress, it does all the work by itself. All that you need to do is remove it from the handy carry bag, pop it exactly where you want it to be, roll it out flat and then open up the air valves, where nature will run its course and the foam insides with breathe in enough air to make it nice and sturdy for a long night in the outback. Once it is fully inflated, or enough to keep your back and hips happy at least, then you simply tighten the air valves to trap all of the captured air inside, and it is basically ready for use! This truly is mind blowing and is the simplest way to inflate a mattress and get your bedding ready for the night ahead. No noisy pumps, and no vacuum cleaner required for packing down either. Simply release the air valves and roll up ready to go back inside the carry bag, and the air will easily iron out as you, making it just as easy to pack up as it is to get it ready for use!
