Sea to Summit  Camp Plus Self-Inflating Sleeping Pad

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was looking for something more substantial and quieter than my backpacking pad to use for car camping inside my car but didn’t want something too large as space is a serious commodity in my vehicle. This pad packs down so much smaller than my premium pad but is just as comfortable when I use it inside my car. It also fits perfectly in the space I have! 10/10

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this several times now and have been very pleasantly surprised by its durability and comfort at this price point. I feel it is an excellent choice for car camping or overlanding. It is quite big in its stored position compared to my backpacking pads. It is every bit as comfortable as my pads that that I have paid over twice as much for. The side loading stuff sack is pretty clever I highly recommend this pad

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Never dissapointed by Sea to Summit. The Camp Plus+ Air Zone Self Inflating Mattress is a winner for car camping. It is a bit too big and bulky for backpacking, but can be used for kayak camping if you have room in your kayak, as I did on a recent trip. The mattress is super comfortable. I sleep all over the place (back, side, stomach), so I got the largest one (78 in long, 25. 2 inches wide, and weighing 52. 7 oz). You can shave some volume/weight by getting a smaller, tapered version, but I don't think thin line was designed for weight conscious backpackers. It self inflates fairly well, although I did have to top it off with a few breaths. I have all kinds of back issues and the mattress provided an excellent night's sleep. It is very well made with robust materials and high quality valves. The unique Sea to summit "bag" more of a clam shell (I think its a great design) made packing it away simple and easy. With an R value of 5. 3 and a thickness of 2. 8in, this is a solid mattress. And with the Sea to Summit name on it and guarantee behind it - how can you go wrong? Five Stars!

This is a great sleeping pad for car camping. It’s durable without excessive bulk. You could use it backpacking or kayak camping if you’re on a budget and can handle a little extra weight and volume. My kayak is usually too packed to fit this in, but it could work well for rafting or packrafting. It’s more comfortable and much more compact than a Paco pad but not as durable. I’ve had other sleeping pads of comparable fabric and thickness that didn’t pack nearly as small or weigh as little. Sea to Summit did a good job with the Air Zone fill. It helps reduce bulk and weight without losing the self-expanding ability or the comfort that self-inflating mattresses provide. I let the mattress expand as much as it can on its own while I tend to all my other camp chores and give it 2 to 3 breaths when I go to bed, which is typical of my other self inflating mattresses. I ordered the regular rectangular and it’s large enough to comfortably adjust sleeping positions in the night. The fabric texture/grip is just right too. It’s not as slippery as some to where I find myself sliding off the mattress. I used it into the mid 30s F with a comparably rated sleeping bag, and I was plenty warm. It would be nice if it had the pillow lock system on the pad. You might be able to add this separately but the fabric is different from other Sea to Summit pads I have with the pillow lock so there may be an adhesion issue. I like the side load stuff sack. It’s definitely easier to pack than the standard end load style. The only downside is that I like my stuff sacks to completely encase my pads for protection. This leaves a portion of the pad exposed especially if you don’t roll it super tight which is kind of the point of the side load sack. For car/truck camping, gear is often in a trunk or bed with other loose gear that can abrade or snag the fabric. I do like that they put an extra webbing loop on the other side of the opening that I use to help secure the draw cord and prevent opening up. This loop will help keep the sack closed if the cord lock breaks. An extra flap of material would be nice for protection but if you’re paying attention to how it’s packed it’s not an issue. It does speed up setup and takedown at camp.
