So you are off on a camping trip, you have the coolers loaded, the tent is packed and you are ready to go! Have you considered the one thing that can make or break any camping trip, your sleeping arrangements? A camping mattress is a pretty important factor in the quality of rest that you will get on your vacation. If your travel plans include sleeping in a cabin then you might be alright with an air mattress but if you plan to sleep in a tent then you might want something a bit more comfy.
There are some options especially if you are an avid camper that you may want to invest in. There are standard air mattresses, some with built in air pumps which are nice and practically effortless. These are also normally portable and fairly light to carry along. Now if you just camp here and there for the novelty of it, you might be satisfied with a manually blown up air mattress because they are very compact and hardly take up any space at all.
Analyze the size of your tent and remember not to buy an air mattress that will not fit in your tent. Also factor in the fact of how many people will be sleeping in your tent too. The biggest thing to remember is not to skimp on a camping mattress, especially if you camp a lot because you are already sleeping on the ground, so the least you can do is provide yourself with a bit of comfort during your stay on the ground.

They have camping mattresses with built in air pumps and pillows and all of Coleman's mattress accessories are lightweight, easy to carry and store. These are also a very high quality mattress that will stand up through all of the elements and will also last for years to come. Consider this too, if you buy a quality camping mattress, it can also be used when you have unexpected company and have no extra room for them to sleep. So you can get a lot more use out of than just when you camp. Actually, everyone should have a decent air mattress in their home for emergencies. Plus if you are planning to stay over night at someone else's home, you can bring it along too. The camping mattresses really are a good idea to have around because you never know when an unexpected situation is going to pop up.
