Self Inflating Mattress

A good night's sleep starts from the ground up, which is why we've built our self inflating mattress range around comfort, warmth and packability. Unlike a manual inflatable mattress, a self inflating mattress uses open-cell foam that expands on its own once you open the valve, giving you insulation and cushioning with far less huffing and puffing at the end of a long day on the trail. We have a range of self inflating mattresses and inflatable mattresses available here at PAST Outdoors.

Your sleeping mat does more than add comfort, it's what stands between you and the cold ground, so getting the right one matters just as much as choosing the right sleeping bag. We stock self inflating mats across a range of thicknesses and R-values, so whether you're after a lightweight option for multi-day hikes or a plusher sleeping mat for camping with the family, you'll find the right fit in our range.

Not sure which mat suits your trip? We've compared two of the biggest names in the game in our Exped vs Thermarest sleeping mat guide, and put together our ultimate guide to sleeping mats for camping to help you weigh up warmth, weight and packed size. If you're planning a cold-weather trip, check out our winter camping sleep system for how we pair a self inflating mattress with the rest of our sleep setup when temperatures drop.
