Q. Trying to figure out a comfortable bed solution for tent camping. The best I've found so far is using a Thermarest 1.5" inflatable mattress and a layer of 3" thick open cell foam over that. But I'm not totally happy with it, as I still wake up kinda sore. I guess I'm looking for the best thing short of an actual bed mattress that can fit in the trunk of my vehicle. Thanks for any good tips.

Those airbeds kill my back and never feel very natural so I personally use a Cabelas's self inflating airbed ...4 inches thick and with a sleeping bag it really gives me a good nights sleep . It also is much warmer than the traditional airbeds from the big box stores in that it insulates so much better and is much more portable and durable . They also have the Alaskan Guide model that comes in a double width .

Comfortable sleeping while camping?

I am going on a camping trip in a few weeks. I will be camping in a tent and I need something to take with me that will be nice to sleep on. My boyfriend I have tried sleeping on an air mattress, but that doesn't work very well for us. I have looked at some of the pads in the camping gear, but they don't look very comfortable and I don't want to waste money. Any ideas? It has to be easy and portable!

Welcome to real camping. You can't sleep in a tent and have the comfort of your bed at home.
Visit www.rei.com for the best advice from the best place. Call and talk to the free outdoor advisers, who will be happy to help you whether or not you are a member. Everything you buy from REI has a lifetime moneyback gaurantee, so what do you have to lose by trying a nice foam pad? When we "car camp" we supplement our pads with a couple of cheap "dog beds" but that is pure indulgence.
