In line with that philosophy, let us introduce you to one of the cheapest camping air mattresses available – the Intex® Camp Air Bed with Pump. The high flow battery operated pump is superb, completely filling the air mattress in around 2 minutes. This fast pump uses 4 D sized batteries and really does inflate the air bed effortlessly.

The wave beam construction of the Camp Air Bed gives good support and comfort and the soft flocked sleeping surface helps mimimise the dreaded “sleeping bag slippage” and is very easy to clean. This Intex air mattress is constructed of sturdy waterproof vinyl and deflates quickly and easily for storing away.

The Intex Camp Air Bed comes in two useful sizes:

Twin size: 75 x 38 x 8 3/4″ (190 x 96 x 22cm) and weighing in at 7lbs 9 ozs (3.4kg).

Queen size: 80 x 60 x 8 3/4″ (203 x 52 x 22cm) and weighing in at 10lbs 10 ozs (4.8kg).

This Intex air mattress is one of the cheapest available in the market, but don’t be put off by it’s cheap price – this is one very good camping air mattress – why pay for more than you need?

However, if you are looking for something a little more luxurious, the Intex® Downy air mattress just might be the go for you. This Intex air mattress is ideal for campers who want to enjoy the extra comforts of a bed, but in the convenience and portability of a camping air mattress. The Intex Downy has a 20.8 gauge waterproof, flocked top together with 14-gauge vinyl beams and a 15-gauge bottom section.

The unique wave beam construction eliminates uncomfortable surface bumps and provides a flat, uniform sleeping surface that is both is luxurious and durable, throughout the night. The Intex Downy air mattress is also very easy to inflate with the use of the built-in foot bellows pump – no more being restricted to sites with power or carrying around pumps and batteries, making this mattress even more portable for backpacking and hiking. However, it can still be connected to an electrical pump, thanks to it’s two-in-one valve if needed.

As you would expect from a company that has been involved in manufacturing innovative, high quality recreational, outdoor and camping equipment for over 100 years, Coleman has a wide range of camping air mattresses to suits everyone’s needs or requirements. From simple single layer air mattresses right up to luxurious pillow top king size air mattresses.

One of their more versatile models is the Coleman 4-in-1 Quickbed which can easily accommodate one or two guests very comfortably. This uniquely designed, two-piece bed can be used in multiple configurations: the two Twin-size beds can be used separately (for two separate people), zipped together as a King-size bed, or even stacked on top of one another (and securely snapped together) for a raised Twin air bed.

The Coleman 4-in-1 Quickbed features Coleman’s ComfortSmart coil system that conforms to your body’s sleep position and also has a nice soft suede top. It also features Coleman’s exclusive Wrap ‘N’ Roll storage system – just roll it up into the attached bag, tie and transport.

This bed is protected by Coleman’s Airtight System, featuring a double lock valve (which opens extra wide for quick and easy inflation and deflation) and an exclusive PVC formula that 15 percent more puncture resistant and can stand up to 600 pounds of pressure.

However, do bear in mind that this unique and versatile Coleman air mattress is really only suitable for camping where you have easy access to power or batteries (ie. your vehicle close by). It certainly would not be suitable for backpacking or hiking where you are intending to stay out in the “wilds” overnight. If backpacking is your go then you should consider a camping air mattress with a built-in rechargeable pump, so that you can camp out anywhere your heart desires.

In essence you can’t go wrong with a Coleman camping air mattress – you just need to choose the model that is right for you – are you intending to sleep in a cabin, a tent, near power, the number of people, the size of the tent and etc.
