Give a camper the gift of Zzzs — this easy-to-inflate sleeping pad is 50% off
Down to $25 (almost a record low!), it weighs less than a pound and takes up barely any space in a backpack.
I don't mind roughing it, but that doesn't mean I want to wake up the next morning with a sore back. That's where an inflatable sleeping pad like the Sleepingo Sleeping Pad comes in. It's designed to provide extra cushioning during campouts, and right now it's down to $25 from $50. It'll even arrive before Christmas, making it a no-brainer gift for your favorite outdoorsy friend.
This handy helper puffs up to 73.5 by 21.5 inches, leaving plenty of room for even tall campers. It weighs just 14 ounces and packs down to the size of a water bottle.
Why is this a good deal? 💰
You can't put a price on comfort, even when you're sleeping outdoors. At $25, this is within a buck of its lowest price ever. You know what they say: You snooze, you lose. (Or in this case, if you snooze that soundly, maybe you already won!)
Why do I need this? 🤔
I've spent quite a few nights outside, and beyond a warm sleeping bag, my sleeping pad is the most important part of the equation when it comes to comfort. This sleeping pad uses diamond-shaped air cells that are designed to support pressure points all over your body, which means it'll do the job whether you're a side sleeper, a stomach sleeper or you prefer lying on your back.
This pad also rolls up into a small, water-bottle-size package and actually fits in the bag it comes in. It's lightweight — just 14 ounces! — making it easy to tote around. The whole thing inflates with only 10-13 breaths, so you won't find yourself dizzy and out of breath when trying to set up camp (even after a long hike). It's rated down to 32°F, so it'll keep you toasty, even if the ground you're sleeping on is not. It comes in orange, green, navy and red.
What reviewers say 💬
More than 25,000 happy campers have given this ultralight sleeping pad a five-star rating.
Pros 👍
"I sleep on my side and cannot have pressure on my hips. This pad did the trick wonderfully. Slept great and without pain," wrote one five-star reviewer, adding that it was "well worth the money spent. Had no problems at all. After the first use in the morning it was still inflated, but a little soft, we assumed from first-time use stretching, and we added literally only 1/2 a breath. This lasted until the end of our 10-day trip. We did not deflate each night but left them inflated. The air held the whole time, which I was amazed about."
Another five-star customer, a Marine who was tired (literally) of their military-issued sleeping pad, had this to say: "The air moves about between the cells and kind of adapts to your position, very comfortable, and I was surprised that I woke up without pain. I actually looked forward to going bed ... I'm extremely happy with this product, have told my fellow Marines, friends and family about it and will be buying one for each of my three immediate family members for camping."
One of the biggest pros, according to reviewers? How easy it is to set up. "It's super easy to inflate, takes about one minute and just a few breaths of air. The valve is simple and works very well. I've slept on this while tent camping for about 12 nights now and been impressed. It's comfortable and cushions oneself from the ground better [than] I expected when I first opened it. It deflates super fast, rolls up easy and packs down small."
Cons 👎
The biggest gripe: There's no solid valve for inflating. Said one four-star reviewer, "Its one flaw for me was the valve, it's just a plastic flap which doesn't stop the air coming out as the mat gets close to being fully inflated. ... This meant I couldn't get the mat as completely inflated as I would have liked and my hips dug into the ground a bit."
Some reviewers wished for a bit more padding. "I wanted a little more cushion for my back, but even 2 inches of cushion makes a difference if you've ever slept on the bare ground," said a four-star reviewer."I'm probably going to upgrade to something a little thicker than 2 inches for my next hiking trip, but I'm going to keep this one to toss in a hammock for a day trip."
The pad is tear-resistant and made of heavy-duty nylon fabric, so you don't have to stress about waking up on the ground. Get it in this forest-friendly green for just a few bucks more.
