Camping Self Inflating

View:

Camping trips are enjoyable but they can be very tiring especially if you’re going through rough terrain. Thus, it is important to have a good night’s sleep after a day of adventure.

A self-inflating mattress is every camper’s trusty companion. It’s made of an internal foam core that fills with air once you open the valve. There is no need for manual inflation and it’s easy to set up and pack down for storage and transport. The size may vary from 3 cm to 16 cm depth depending on the level of comfort that you are aiming for.

Components of a camping self-inflating mattress

Fabric shell

Self-inflating mattresses are usually made of polyester pongee, nylon, and polyester. This is the outer layer and made airtight to prevent air leakage. Polyester is commonly used since it is cheaper and durable while polyester pongee and nylon are more lightweight and long-lasting.

Foam core

The foam core makes up the interior of the mattress and the open pockets in the foam core allow the air to flow into it. Through this process, the mattress fills up and inflates when air chambers are filled with air.

Valve Closure

The valve ensures that the air is trapped inside the foam to carry the weight of a person while sleeping. The valve system plays a great role in assessing the effectiveness of the mattress. Most self-inflating mattresses have one valve and the common types are the brass and cyclone options. The AFC or airflow control valve is becoming popular because it has separate settings for inflating and deflating.
