Hi-Gear Deluxe Double Air Bed with Built-in Foot Pump and Raised Pillow, Double Air Mattress, Double Inflatable Bed, Ideal for Camping and Festivals, Camping Equipment, Black, One Size

Product Information

Supplied in a carry bag that’s around the size of a pillow, this camping mat has two valves to make inflating and (importantly) deflating super simple. If you wait for an hour, air will naturally be drawn inside and it will just need a few big breaths to top it up to the firmness you like – or, if time is tight, it doesn’t take more than a couple of minutes to inflate manually. It can also be clipped to a second mattress to make a double, which is a well thought out bonus.

A good air mattress will transform how well you sleep outdoors – here are the best mattresses and pads for any budget

We test the most popular air beds with built-in pumps from brands such as Argos, Hi Gear, Dreamcatcher, Outwell, Vango, Yawn and more. We also test a few manual blow-up beds to investigate whether these are just as good or perhaps even better than inflatable beds with built-in pumps. A mini army of testers help us find the best air beds and tell us which ones are most comfortable to lie down on.

Don’t these fantastic beds for toddlers and kids look cosy? The ReadyBed combines a deep, durable air bed with a built-in, washable sleeping bag and pillow – and the result is that they’re a great all-in-one option for the kids when you’re camping. They’re extremely comfortable and fun to sleep in for little campers, and you will never have to worry that you forgot a vital bit of sleeping equipment because it’s all included. The ReadyBeds come in different cheerful colours and designs, and a battery-operated pump makes them easy to inflate. They’re great for sleepovers too. Self-inflating designs still need time to work and almost always require a few big breaths, or pumps, to completely inflate. Larger options may require a foot pump. Or you can buy an automatic pump that either plugs into your car’s power, if you are camping near the car, or has its own battery supply, like this excellent model from Flextail. How we test air mattresses The material the product is made from is often a sign of the quality for Double Airbeds. Take a look at the product details over at Go Outdoors to get a feel for this. The best air mattress will make sure you sleep well outdoors, and if you’re planning on camping regularly, it’s the single most important piece of kit, aside from your tent. After all, a holiday isn’t much fun if you’re not getting proper rest, especially if you’re spending a week running around with free-ranging kids. As with all ‘self-inflating’ designs, you will need to give it a couple of top-up blows to fully inflate it, even if you have left for a while to expand, but it’s not a big issue. The valves appear well made, the seams all feel secure, and the plush brushed-top finish is quiet and comfortable with a nice amount of grip for your sleeping bag. We’d be happy to use it as a put-me-up bed at home too.

Another factor that can be a great indication of product quality is the brand. Brands like Hi-Gear are of course extremely well known, especially for Double Airbeds. We’re really pleased to have scored Hi-Gear Hi Rise Foam King Size Air Bed so highly, givimg it 9.7 out of 10, making it well above the average for all Double Airbeds. Not a brand generally associated with the great outdoors but certainly one that’s synonymous with sleep and mattresses, Silentnight’s self-inflating design is solid value and an incredibly comfortable option. We tested the double, however, a 60cm single is also available for half the price.READ NEXT: The best inflatable tents to buy The best air mattresses and sleeping pads you can buy in 2023 1.
