The best air mattresses for camping in 2021

Sleeping bags are fine for a night or two, or for heavy sleepers who don’t mind sticks and stones poking into their sides all night, but for anyone who has had trouble getting rest on a camping trip, a tent-ready air mattress is a life saver. Mattresses need to be tough to stand up to sharp objects on the ground, firm enough to support you through the night, but comfy enough not to keep you up. Here are the best air mattresses for camping that you can buy now.

Ozark Trail Twin Air Mattress

Ozark Trail Twin Air Mattress

Ozark is a well known brand among campers for their excellent tents, so it’s no surprise the company also makes an excellent, affordable air mattress for campers. It’s reinforced with sturdy vinyl and coil beam construction, and it even comes with a repair patch should a puncture get past your defenses, though you do have to buy a pump separately.

Intex Dura-Beam Standard Series Airbed

Intex is another reliable brand that creates high-quality air mattresses. Their standard mattresses are plush and firm -- just remember to inflate them a few times before your camping trip to allow the material to stretch out after purchase.

Therm-a-Rest NeoAir Xlite Ultralight Backpacking Air Mattress

Therm-a-Rest NeoAir Xlite Ultralight Backpacking Air Mattress

The Therm-a-Rest NeoAir Xlite is ideal for any campers hitting the hiking trails between campsites. When it’s blown up, the mattress provides a broad expanse measuring 47 by 20 inches, with 2.5 inches of depth to comfort your tired body after a full day of packing. The next day, when it’s time to depart for your next campsite, the mattress packs away to just 9 by 3.5 inches, and only adds 8 ounces of weight to your pack.

Coleman Camping Cot

Coleman Camping Cot

Campers who would prefer to sleep off the ground should consider this inflatable camping cot from Coleman. At 40 pounds, it’s best for folks who are unloading their camping supplies directly at the campsite without much walking, but the firm mattress and sturdy steel construction on the queen model can hold up to 600 pounds, excellent for an entire family to pile in together.

WEY&FLY SUV Air Mattress

WEY&FLY SUV Air Mattress

Designed to fit in the back of an SUV or the bed of a truck, this high-quality car mattress works equally well on the floor of a tent, giving you several options for how you’d like to play your camping trip. It’s adapted to a wide range of temperatures and weather conditions, uses strong PVC material to withstand rough terrain, and can support two or three people at a time.

Ozark Trail Kids Camping Airbed

Ozark Trail Kids Camping Airbed

It can be tough for kids to get a good night’s rest at a campsite, so far from their usual bed and routine, but it’s important to help them get some shut eye to give them energy for lots of family activities. This kid’s size airbed measures just 57 by 30 inches, can support up to 110 pounds, and even comes with small armrests to keep kids comfortable and secure through the night.
