Product Information

most manufacturers suggest a few puffs of air to firm-up the mattress but remember that the moisture in your breath will condensate when the air temperature drops, and then you'll end-up with water inside your mat which can cause the fabric to rot - so, avoid the temptation if you can, and use a small airbed pump (or bicycle pump with adaptor) instead and prolong the life of your mat, whilst remembering that keeping it rolled-up in the bottom of your camping bag will damage the foam, so leave it unfurled below your bed (or in the loft/garage/understair cupboard) if you can, with the valve in the open position. Personally I would plump for the XL if you find you have a choice of sizes – it just gives that extra bit of surface area for a nice sprawl when sleeping, and for not much extra weight. does what it needs to in providing quick and easy self-inflation via two valves for each side of the mattress. Practical non-slip silicone grips on the rear ensure you don’t slip during the night, working with a diamond cut foam inner to get a more restful night’s sleep.

The top surface of the SIM uses an embossed no-slip outer layer meaning that you don’t slide around during the night – a bugbear of mine on plastic air mattresses! I am 5’11”, quite broad and could do with loosing a few pounds but the size of this mat was perfectly fine.We measured 66 x 18 cm which frankly isn’t too shabby, but obviously too large for hiking overnighters. Borrowing more than you can afford or paying late may negatively impact your financial status and ability to obtain credit. However, the inflated size is a little restricted compared to the more expensive Vango and Berghaus options – the length is 195cm (just under 6ft5) and so we would recommend either of those two over the Outwell if you’re lanky like me. It’s such a pain having to wrestle something back into it’s bag at the end of a camp, no problems here. The great thing about having so much cushioning is that you can lie on it, let a little bit of air out and then seal up the valves.

the Deluxe offers a sufficient length of 6ft 6” which should be ample for most of the adult population of the world – apart from Sultan Kosen perhaps. Fully-inflated dimensions are 201 x 132 x 10cm and so it can cater for somebody up to 6ft 7 in height. Personally, our preference would be for two Grandes placed next to each other, but it depends how intimate you want to get in the night!

For real additional comfort to the Ultim you need to be looking at a 15cm SIM such as the Outdoor Revolution Skyfall or similar.

Boasting a minimal size and a lighter weight, the Peak Compact Self-Inflating Mat from Berghaus offers maximum comfort for short expeditions or multi-day hikes.

A couple of these together give a highly flexible campsite sleeping option, especially if placed on camp beds.

There will be some products that are amazing quality and packed full of additional features or specifications, but do take the time to really get an idea if you need that level of quality or if your budget and needs mean you should get something else.

So a high R-Value means that the heat that your body generates and escapes through your sleeping bag onto one side of the mat will not get through to the ground. I’ve found the quickest method of packing away is as follows, but I take no responsibility for you doing the same. However, the Thermarest 3D MondoKing is a different beast altogether, combining a fantastic 11cm foam thickness for superb comfort together with excellent thermal properties – the R-Value of the Mondoking is a whopping 8. Warmth - Clearly, keeping warm is not just about the right sleeping mat it is also about the right sleeping bag and clothing. If after checking those three out, you’re still looking for some more inspiration then something like OEX Traverse Self-Inflating Mat reviews could be a great choice, or perhaps something like OEX Traverse 3/4 Self-Inflating Mat reviews.Yes they may be slightly more expensive than the Decathlon’s of this world, but we’ve never been let down by their tents or their general camping gear. However, if you’re still on the fence and want to look at some more options, here are some great alternatives to consider. The KingCamp is undoubtedly fabricated from decent materials – the two valves on the SIM are brass which is a nice touch and differentiates the Deluxe from other SIMs which rely on plastic. most manufacturers suggest a few puffs of air to firm-up the mattress but remember that the moisture in your breath will condensate when the air temperature drops, and then you'll end-up with water inside your mat which can cause the fabric to rot - so, avoid the temptation if you can, and use a small airbed pump (or bicycle pump with adaptor) instead and prolong the .
