what bedding

[Moodyforager]

Hi All
I am thinking taking my son for a 1 night camping trip and I trying to decide what mat to buy have looked at the basic foam type mats for £5 or maybe a vango self inflating mat for £20, are the self inflating mats much warmer or would it be better to buy 2 foam mats.
Thanks
Andy

Go for the self inflating mat, they're more comfortable than a basic foam mat

they look more comfy and also save space in the rucksac, just wondered what would be warmer.

A lot of inflatable mats have foam inside so you're getting the extra insulation of the trapped air around it. Definitely warmer.

If you've got a Clas Ohlson near you they have some decent ones in for £15 at the moment.

I have a thermarest and it is fantasticly warm and comfortable, I have also heard good things about the alpkit range of self inflating mattresses. The vango self inflating mattress I saw was quite bulky in comparison, However the person who I know that has one swears that it is nice and warm and very comfortable compared to her old basic foam mattress.
