Trail Self Inflating Camping Mat With Pillow, Single, Black | 2.5cm Expanding Foam Core, Integrated Pillow, Water-Resistant PU Shell, Roll Straps & Carry Bag
Pros
- REST YOUR HEAD IN COMFORT: Sleep comfortably when you’re camping with this Self-Inflating Mat With Pillow from Trail Outdoor Leisure. Whereas most camping mats require you to bring a separate pillow, this mat has an integrated pillow, making it perfect for lightening your load when camping. When inflated, it measures L186cm x W53cm x D2.5cm (approx.).
- SELF-INFLATING FOR A SIMPLE SET UP: Because it’s a self-inflating mat, it does most of the inflating for you. Simply unroll the mat, open the quick flow self-inflation valve, and it automatically sucks in air. Once it’s finished, we recommend blowing in some extra air to ensure it’s inflated to your desired firmness. Please note that the pillow isn’t self-inflating.
- EXPANDING FOAM INTERIOR: The mat is filled with compressed ‘open cell’ foam. When the inflation valve is opened, the cells suck in air and the foam expands to 2.5cm thick. Firm but yielding, it provides sensational support whilst insulating you from the ground for greater warmth and comfort. Please note that the pillow is an air pillow and doesn’t contain any foam.
- WATER-RESISTANT: The camping mat is made from durable 190T polyester to keep you protected from the damp ground. If the camping mat gets wet, simply wipe it with a dry cloth. If the camping mat gets dirty, simply wipe it with a damp cloth to clean it, before wiping it with a dry cloth to remove any excess moisture.
Cons
- Pillow not self-inflating, requires manual inflation.
