Pro Tip

Always place a thermal sleeping pad or insulated blanket under your air bed when camping in cold conditions. Air mattresses can lose warmth through convection, and an insulating layer helps retain body heat overnight.

Choosing the Right Air Bed for Camping

Car campers will appreciate queen or raised air beds with built-in pumps for easy setup and a softer, home-like surface. For backpackers or overlanders, lightweight and self-inflating air mattresses offer durability and portability without sacrificing comfort.

When buying an inflatable camping mattress, look for features like puncture-resistant materials, adjustable firmness, and quick-release valves. Combine your air bed with a cot for added height and airflow.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the best air bed for camping?
The best air bed depends on your needs — lightweight models are ideal for hikers, while raised queen air beds offer home-like comfort for car campers. Look for puncture-resistant PVC and dual valves for durability.
Do camping air beds lose air overnight?
Some air loss is normal due to temperature changes. Choose high-quality models with airtight valves and reinforced seams, and avoid over-inflating before sleeping.
Can I use an air bed with a cot?
Yes — pairing a cot with an air bed adds elevation, insulation, and stability. Make sure your cot surface supports the bed evenly to prevent punctures.
