The Vango Shangri-La II Double 15cm is an exciting addition to the range that brings superior comfort to your camping trip. The luxury feel is achieved through a knitted, soft feel, elastic yarn on the surface. The three dimensional construction with vertical walls adds to the comfort further, whilst creating a flat sleeping surface which remains supportive over the whole area. Durability is ensured by the high quality, precision construction and modern TPU lamination. The latter feature also enables the self-inflating mat to compress down further and at a lighter weight. This luxurious item is also easy to use, with two cyclone valves ensuring rapid, unaided inflation. Noise: self-inflating mattresses can sometimes make a noise when people move around - which way or may not disturb some. Depending on the pump, the inflation process may also result in some noise. However a low R-Value (<2) could mean you end up getting cold in the night. Inflatable air mattresses which are essentially big air balloons which you sleep on have notoriously low R-values and are no good at all for sleeping on in winter or autumn. Regular sleeping mats - This category covers a lot of different types of mats from the old, classic foam rolls to modern, inflatable mats with different features such as pressure relief or supportive body mapping chambers.The Deeplee camping mattress comes in a honeycomb structured surface which is designed to offer breathability and great support in different sleeping positions. Made with 40D nylon fabric, it offers a soft sleeping surface that is also waterproof and resistant thanks to its TPU coating. This sleeping mat is designed to support up to 205 kg which makes it suitable for heavy-weight campers. The total global production volume of PVC✓ in 2018 amounted to 44.3 million metric tons and is estimated to grow to nearly 60 million metric tons in 2025. Ease of transport: once again, depending on the primary use of the mattress, transporting may or may not be a factor to consider. A self-inflating mattress that needs to be moved and carried should ideally be more lightweight and compact than one solely for use at home in a guest bedroom.

Unfold and use: Once the mattress is fully inflated, unfold it and place it on your camping tent or any other desired surface. However, there are health and environmental concerns✓with the manufacture, use, and disposal of PVC, particularly the harmful effects of phthalates✓, and much literature is dedicated to the study of it. Possible alternatives to PVC mattresses and a more eco-friendly choice include rubber, plastic, and thermoplastic urethane; however, these are currently less widely available. We recommend an R-Value of 3 or higher for 3-season use, and 5 or higher if you will be lying on the ground in winter too. Ultra-Reliable - Precision manufacturing and modern TPU lamination ensures durability and reliability. The mat has a durable 190T polyester outer shell with a water-resistant PU coating. If it gets wet, give it a wipe to dry it off. If it gets dirty, simply wipe it with a damp cloth to easily clean it.
