Double Cloud Camp Bed

Comfort over bulk any day!

Familiarity:

I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

I read the reviews on this and the price was right so I ordered it and am so glad I did! The other reviews are spot on so if you pay attention, you won’t be disappointed. Yes, it is bulky – even deflated. Yes, it will take up space in your car or trunk for sure. Yes, it is difficult to deflate And may take a while to fully inflate… But you can buy a small battery operated or even cigarette, lighter or larger battery operated inflated and just reverse it when needed. This is not for anything but car camping so that shouldn’t be any problem. The reason I love this product is because it really is extraordinarily comfortable! I’m someone who doesn’t do well sleeping on the ground and the variety of various inflatable pads I have tried typically have failed. If possible, will update my review after sometime time of use, but for now I’m super happy with my purchase!

Great low profile air mattress

Great foam topper, and with air, firm and comfortable. Holds air overnight well. Like all air mattresses, you’ll want to refill the air before each night with a good air pump (not included). Low profile lets it fit in the back of an SUV (sides sticking up a bit) or a tent for camping.

This has two valves which appears to be able to customize your sleep for either side which is a cool feature. The pad is really comfortable and warm. I’m used to sleeping on camp pads or full air mattresses—this is way better than either of those!! It has memory foam but air to keep you off the ground. Our first night we actually over-inflated the mattress, but on night two we figured out the pressure we liked and slept better. The mattress absolutely needs a pump to deflate. Otherwise, you’ll be struggling with rolling it up. I have an intex cheap one and it fits the valves perfectly to inflate and deflate.

We were between this and the exped double wide mega mat duo 10. They are comparable in size and weight. we decided to go with this based on the price. This bed is extremely comfortable and long enough for my 6’1husband. Its biggest downfall is that it is very hard to deflate manually. I ended up buying a rechargeable mini pump that inflates/deflated for it off Amazon and it works perfectly and easily. I’ve also seen people use a shop vac to deflate it at home for storing it. we will see how long it lasts but for us, it works well.

Really difficult to deflate

I returned this product before using it

Received as a gift and didn’t end up using because it didn’t end up fitting in our car. Inflated to check out and it’s definitely very comfortable and I imagine you’d get a great nights sleep! However, the take down is so frustrating. Trying to do this in a tight car or camping somewhere would be even worse, as we just did this in our living room. You have to use all of your weight to deflate and roll it. Once you’ve done that, good luck getting it back into its bag. The only time we tried, the bag immediately ripped even though we literally could not deflate it any further. Returning mostly because it doesn’t fit our car, but honestly trying to put it away to return it was so frustrating that I don’t even want it.

Great for car camping

Super soft. I didn't have a pump and was able to blow up by mouth (took a little bit but it's doable). Definitely only for car camping or other situations where you don't have to bring it far (bulky/not light weight). We've also used it at home for company. Much better than a massive air mattress!

Wanted comfort…and it delivered!

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

Just returned from a car camping trip in Maine and this provided a great night’s sleep. It’s thick and comfortable. My or my wife’s movement on the pad was barely detectable and not an issue. It is big, so look at the dimensions both packed and inflated. It fit fine inflated in our three person tent and deflated fit in our Crosstrek. Because it’s big, it won’t be a quick inflate, but we set up camp, kept the inflate valve open (deflate closed) and when we returned a few hours later it took only a few manual puffs to achieve optimal firmness. Deflating you typically want to happen quickly so that was a bit of a wrestling match to squeeze out all the air, but maybe 5 minutes give or take it was ready to pack. Again, this was purchased for comfort and a good night’s sleep…it did not disappoint.

Very heavy and very bulky

It is incredibly heavy and takes a lot of space in the car. If I could return it, I would but I'm past the threshold for returns. I do not recommend if you want a mattress that takes little space once packed up.
