Kings Single Self-Inflating Foam Mattress
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.
Pros
Affordable - At $89 this is a great entry point for most campers looking for a self-inflating mattress to sleep on
Large - Balances a roomy sleep area while still being able to fit on stretchers and inside swags or rooftop tents.
Inflatable Pillow - While it probably isn’t enough to replace a pillow completely, the optional separate valve allows you to inflate the head area to elevate your head.
Cons
Density - When inflated to 10cm, it doesn’t seem to feel as dense as other competitors. This gives it more of an airbed feel rather than a foam mattress.
