Thread: double camp beds

i've only used the cheap 'spinifex' brand double mattress from anaconda. we've had it for a few years now.

pro's: insulatation from cold ground - most are 100mm thick, ease of setup, relatively cheap, can take a lot of abuse - kids love to jump on it like a trampoline, and even when punctured it still provides insulation and a level of comfort

con's: takes up a lot of room when packed so limited to car camping; can developed indentations

if the kids are young i'd recommend a cheap one like spinifex as it is harder to damage than more expensive compact self inflating mattresses.

Recently purchased 2 EXPED megamats, they go together to make a double, most comfortable camp bed I have ever had. Because they are two and not one they pack down to a manageable size. Found them at 30% off sale otherwise a bit expensive.

Exped are the way to go. Ours are rated to -30 or something. They are super comfortable and pack to the size of large milo can. Highly recommended from me, I've probably spent 60 nights altogether sleeping on one.
