Coleman Self-Inflating Sleeping Pad with Pillow, Lightweight Inflatable Camp Pad with Extra Padding & Quick Deflation, No Air Pump Needed, Great for Camping, Backpacking, Traveling, & More

I LOVE this pad! I have one something like this, that I have had for years, and I have been looking for another. The one I have is not 'self inflating', as this one is and the cap is detatched with a plug that goes in first. This pad WILL auto inflate, though I did blow a little (three or four breaths) air into it to puff it up. The cap is very unique and stays on the fill spout, it just loosens to allow air in and out. It won't ever get lost and there is no separate plug /cork. I've had the other pad for about 15 years and the rubber plug is getting cracked. This pad is amazingly comfortable! I had my daughter try it out and I then could not get her to get off of it !! I just ordered another one for her! We both are about 5'9" and around 165 pounds. This pad does not compress under us. You never feel the floor / ground. It's only about 2 inches thick when inflated. After 15 years, my other pad never leaked and I don't believe that this one ever will. One great thing I love about these pads is that even if you are far from home and they did get punctured, they have enough internal padding that you would still have good comfort, even without air, so you are not totally screwed, as you are if you puncture an air mattess. The other BIG advantage to these pads over an air matress is that if you camp when/ where it gets cool/cold, a big mattress is exposed to the climate, it gets cold and wicks your body heat away. My sleeping bag drapes over the edge of this pad and seals the heat in. Nice and cozy, always! Also, absolutely NO AIR PUMP Required and pretty easy to deflate. You have to PRESS all the air out, not to tough to do, and it comes with compression straps to compact it. No stuff sack, but easy to make or buy one. I will make one, because I think it helps to protect and preserve the pad. The old pad has one and it's lasted over 15 years. I WOULD NOT GO CAMPING WITHOUT THIS PAD! EVER! Highly recommended. It's on my livingroom floor right now because we lay there to watch tv. Sets against the wall behind the couch, to get it in and out of the way in a hurry. Very convenient, and good for sleepovers too. I know it seems a bit pricey, but it is WELL WORTH EVERY PENNY.

I love this pad. You can always depend on Coleman to make a fine quality product. Very comfortable and no strong plastic smell at all. The pad material is very durable. Highly recommended for a quick alternative to an expensive hotel room for a brief rest period while traveling. :) When the pad is first self inflated by simply unscrewing the cap, it is roughly 1 inch thick. It is possible to inflate it (human blowing power) to almost 2 inches. I have slept on the pad, with an unopened sleeping bag over it for extra padding and a nice fluffy pillow, in the back area of my SUV. When done using it, it is very easy to fold and push the air out. I found that using my elbows to hold the pad down as I continue the folding process helps keep the air from re-entering the pad. The straps are well made but might break if too much air is left in the pad when fully folded. I use my knee to hold it down while attaching the straps. Then I seal the cap and voila, 1 very compact deflated mattress pad. I have not used it on open ground so I cannot comment how it will hold up against sharp sticks or rocks underneath.

OG Coleman sleeping mad, comfortable and packs down ok, it's not very light at over 4lbs so it wouldn't be my go to mat for hunting or backpacking but works great for camping.Inflatable pillow is nice iffu forgot to pack one or packing light but it's not the most comfortable. The mat itself feels good. And took about 10-15 mins to self inflating for the first time. Definitely could be sped along if you needed it to by blowing into it.

I am a youth pastor and I bought this pad specifically for overnight youth retreats where we sleep on floors and whatnot. I was particularly happy with the integrated pillow (one less thing to have to carry) Like all air mattresses, this one is not really self-inflating, you'll need to blow a bit to get it filled quickly. The pillow section completely requires inflation, not self-inflating at all. The pad is fairly thick and reasonably wide, which made for a good night sleep on a carpeted floor. I am 6' 0" tall and I was able to be completely on the pad - head to toe. The pillow is a little small for me, but comparable to any other travel pillow I might use, although that pillow would not be attached. The pad also has attached web straps for storage which is very convenient. I am also an avid hiker/mountaineer, familiar with technical hiking/camping gear. This pad is not meant for that kind of activity. This is really a car camping piece of equipment. The pad is quite heavy and fairly bulky, far more so than you would ever want in your pack. If you are driving in to a campground, need something for that unexpected house guest, or are sleeping on a floor in your church with a bunch of high schoolers for a weekend, then you can't go wrong with this sleeping pad.

I bought 2 of these for our sons, to use under their sleeping bags. They inflate easily by themselves, but it takes awhile. We inflated them the night before & carried them in the back of the truck. It gives sufficient padding, so you don't feel the ground. I didn't sleep on it myself, but both kids said they slept well & it was comfortable. They brought their own pillows from home & used them on top of the inflated pillow. Fast shipping, great quality.
