Double Self Inflating Mats for Couples and Family Camping
A double self-inflating mat can make a massive difference to comfort when camping together. The wider surface gives more room to move, making it easier to sleep comfortably without feeling cramped, particularly useful for longer stays where sleep quality matters more.
They’re a popular choice for couples who want to sleep next to each other, as well as family campers who prefer a larger mat for extra space. If you’re using a larger tent or camping on a pitch for several nights, a double self inflating mattress can help make your sleep setup feel more settled and comfortable.
Why choose a double self inflating mattress?
A double SIM is ideal if you want:
- a wider sleeping surface for added comfort
- a shared mat for couples camping
- a more relaxed sleeping setup for longer stays
- a mattress that feels more bed-like than a single mat
They’re great for family camping where comfort takes priority over compact pack size.
What to consider before buying
Before choosing a double self inflating mat, it’s worth checking:
- width and length — double sizes vary between brands
- thickness - thicker mats usually feel more supportive
- packed size - doubles take up more space than singles
- insulation - useful for cooler nights and shoulder-season camping
- tent space - make sure your tent floor area suits a wider mat
If you want to maximise comfort, pairing a double self inflating mat with a warm sleeping bag or camp bed can make your camping sleep setup feel closer to a bed at home.
