The inflatable mattress: For comfortable nights in the great outdoors

When you go hiking or camping, a quality air mattress can make all the difference for a good night's sleep. Lightweight, compact, and easy to carry, this type of mattress inflates quickly to offer comfort similar to that of a real bed, even outdoors. At Bivouacamp, we offer a range of mattresses to suit all needs, whether you're an experienced trekker or an occasional camper, so you can sleep soundly wherever you are.

The advantages of an inflatable mattress for bivouacking

Choosing an air mattress for your outdoor expeditions allows you to enjoy optimal rest, essential after a long day of hiking. Unlike sleeping mats, self-inflating and inflatable mattresses offer greater thickness, providing better insulation from the ground and conforming to your body's contours for even support. Whether you're spending the night on rocky terrain, in the forest, or on damp ground, an air mattress guarantees a better quality of sleep.

The models available at Bivouacamp are specially designed to combine lightness and robustness, allowing you to easily transport them without compromising their durability. You'll find mattresses suited to all seasons and all types of bivouacs, whether for a summer night under the stars or for more demanding conditions.

How to choose the right inflatable mattress?

Choosing an inflatable mattress depends on several factors, including size, weight, and intended use. For hikers seeking a lightweight option, we offer ultra-compact mattresses that inflate in just a few minutes. These models, particularly well-suited for trekking, pack easily into a backpack and take up minimal space. Their thickness is sufficient to ensure good comfort while remaining lightweight.

If you're traveling with family or friends, a two-person inflatable mattress can be an ideal space-saving solution. This type of mattress is also perfect for long hikes where every gram counts. On the other hand, if you prioritize maximum comfort for a more relaxed camping trip, opt for a thicker and wider mattress.

The materials and technologies of inflatable mattresses

Our inflatable mattresses are made from durable materials like nylon or polyester, reinforced with waterproof coatings. This combination creates a long-lasting mattress that resists not only moisture but also punctures. For enhanced thermal insulation, some models incorporate additional layers that minimize heat loss overnight, making them ideal for mountain hikes or cold weather.

The ultralight mattresses we offer are designed for maximum weight optimization while ensuring durability. If you're looking for a high-performance, long-lasting mattress for your regular treks and bivouacs, we recommend choosing models designed for use in extreme conditions, where material quality and waterproofing are paramount.

Easy to transport and set up

One of the great advantages of an inflatable mattress is its ease of use. The models we offer at Bivouacamp inflate quickly with a pump or sometimes even by mouth, depending on their size and design. Once deflated, the mattress folds easily to fit in your backpack or be attached to the outside.

This ease of transport is particularly appreciated by trekkers who want to optimize their equipment and avoid being weighed down. Furthermore, most mattresses come with compact storage bags, making them easy to pack and transport.

Additional comfort options

For those seeking superior comfort, some air mattress models include built-in pillows or reinforced support zones. These options add a touch of luxury to your night outdoors without significantly increasing the mattress's overall weight. By combining an air mattress with other accessories like an inflatable pillow or sleeping bag , you can recreate a level of comfort similar to that found at home.

At Bivouacamp, we offer a wide selection of inflatable mattresses so that you can find the model that perfectly suits your needs.
