A lot of campers will say that you aren't truly camping if you have an mattress as part of your camping gear. Those are probably the same people that say put away your Kelty tent and sleep under the stars in your Slumberjack sleeping bag.
Well, I disagree! If I'm going camping, I'm going to have a little comfort also. Just last summer I purchased an Aero Products air mattress. Thier air mattresses are called the Aerobed air mattresses. I am very glad that I bought one of these to add to my collection of camping equipment.
The first night that I used it, I slept like a baby. The air mattress is durable, sturdy, and very comfortable. It sits about 9" off the ground and compacts very easily. The air mattress is also very easy to inflate and deflate.
I purchased my Aerobed air mattress at one of my local camping gear stores. I know that large camping equipment stores such as REI, Cabelas, and Sports Authority carry air mattresses also.
Have a great Holiday!
