Best Self Inflating Mattresses Reviewed in Australia (2022)

Adventure Kings is known for its affordable prices while providing exceptional value for money and their self-inflating mattress range is no different.

With a waterproof PVC base and a soft material on top it’s designed to be both durable and comfortable.

With dimensions of 190L x 85W x 10H cm it’s one of the larger single-sized self inflating mats on the market, but is still compact enough to fit on the Kings Stretcher for an elevated sleeping experience or inside their Swags.

It comes with a compact carry bag to transport it, but when taken out the open cell foam inside the mattress begins to expand and suck in air. After a few minutes, the valve can be closed to trap the air inside, which then gives a blended feeling of air and foam when laying on it.

There are two valves on the mattress. The second valve can be manually blown up which elevates the head area for a make-shift pillow, but that’s completely optional and up to you so feel free to experiment!

Overall, it may not be the most luxurious self-inflating mattress out there but it ticks all of the boxes when it comes to functionality and comfort.

Zempire has pioneered the success of inflatable tents and now they've made a killer self-inflating mattress.

If you prefer to bring your own pillow, you may want to consider the Zempire self-inflating mattress. It fits two people, so you don’t have to buy a separate bed for your partner. On top of that, it has a fully-bonded 3D construction, made of top-tier stretchy fabric that’ll keep you comfortable.

The bed comes bearing a heavy-duty base for extra durability. It ensures that the top surface won’t be affected by the ground’s condition, no matter how rough it is. Not only that, but the bed’s cross-cored foam structure also helps it inflate and deflate fast. So, you don’t have to spend ages when packing up waiting for the bed to deflate itself.

Thanks to the fully-bonded foam, you won’t need to carry an extra stretcher for the trip. It’ll insulate your body just fine, keeping the cold from reaching you. The 100-mm thickness will also contribute to comfort since it raises you off the ground by a sufficient bit.

When laid out, the Zempire mattress measures 201 x 132 x 10 cm. It’s pretty large to fit you two but still compact enough to fit in a limited-space tent.

We know that it has "Women" in the title, but if you're after one of the thicker mattress options available and tend to get cold on your camping trips, then look no further. This self-inflating pad from Sea to Summit is among the most comfortable camping mats on the market.

For starters, the mat is 5-cm thick, which is enough to keep you off the ground by a good amount. At the same time, it’s not bulky, so it won’t bother you when packing or when placing it in the tent. On top of that, the mat has a 4.0 R-value, which means it’ll keep you insulated under all weather conditions. The striking cold won’t bother you anymore.

The mat is designed to fit a woman’s body, thanks to its shapely design where It gets narrower near the shoulders and wider near the hips. However, I'd argue that it shouldn't discourage anyone else from buying it if they like what they see.

Furthermore, the mat’s interior is made of PU foam that’s topped off by a women’s Delta Core profile. Meaning, it’ll work on keeping your body warm even when the temperature drops.

When it comes to convenience, the TripHunter self-inflating mattress is hard to match. It features a thickness of 3.8 cm that’ll raise you off the ground by a sufficient amount. That way, you won’t feel the uneven ground beneath you. On top of that, it’s lightweight and compact, weighing nearly one kilogram and measuring 185 x 56 cm, so it’s perfect for those sleeping solo.

Its compact dimensions will help you put it in the tent in an instant, even if your tent is small. Additionally, to help you pack it fast when you need to, it comes bearing two compression belts.

The belts aren’t the only things the kit includes. The bed comes fully equipped with a full mending kit, including a transparent adhesive paper and two fabric squares, in case an unfortunate accident occurs.

The bed features a high-quality plastic valve that’ll keep the air where it should be. Additionally, the top surface has excellent insulation, so you won’t be bothered by severe weather conditions.
