Sweet dreams are made of this Take home a mattress from IKEA (the way we package them makes that easier – we also deliver) and try it for 365 nights. Sleep like a baby – or bring back the mattress and try another. They’re all super comfy, just in slightly different ways. So our best mattress is the one that feels great for you.

An Australian company is betting the all-in-one design could become popular in the United States. Last month, after writing an article about roof-top tent camping, a small company from Australia contacted me about a shelter it claims has many of the same benefits. The Pioneer Swag Tent ($299) is definitely car-camping gear — it weighs 20 pounds and includes a “2-inch egg-crate style foam mattress with washable cover.” The shelter is made from heavy ripstop canvas, the same material as many roof-top shelters.
It’s all suspended by three 5/16″ aluminum poles. The main fabric is burly, waterproof stuff, much heavier than that used by regular camping tents, and that plus the included mattress help form the tenuous relationship to rooftop tents. The heavy materials will make for a warmer structure than lighter nylon tents, and it should prove to be solid in winds, rain, and snow. However, this is decidedly an “on the ground” tent, and it will have to compete with more versatile (and much lighter) tents, inflatable sleeping pads, and even bivy-type structures that do a similar job at a tiny fraction of the weight. If you’ve never heard of a “swag,” you probably don’t live in Australia. Swags are a style of heavy-duty shelter aimed at the individual car camper. They often have built-in mattresses or even cots, and they don’t have much internal storage or vestibule space. Think of them as a burly, easy-to-pitch bivy shelter with an Australian accent and an integrated bed.
Outback Swags launched about three months ago in the U.S. and is hoping to grow this variation on the camp tent in the North American market. I hadn’t seen similar tents until I was contacted by Outback Swags. But researching the genre and seeing a few similar swags for sale, it seems like these shelters from down under could fill a decent niche in the U.S. for anyone looking at a no-fuss outdoors shelter. Some of the purported benefits could be good for people who spend a lot of time car camping or living on the road. With the significant interest in rooftop camping, we’ll watch as swags make their way into camping consciousness over here in the States. What to look for in a camping mattress or air bed Before you head out on your next camping adventure, be sure to pack a lightweight mattress suited to camping. Wild Earth stock a range of lightweight designs. If you’re not sure where to start, here are the best camping mattresses for different camping styles: Car camping or boat camping - You are free to choose a thick, large mattress for luxurious sleeping comfort.
Look for a foldable mattress with sturdy, well-made seams and rounded corners to avoid leaks. Backpacking or mountain hiking - Choose an air bed with greater thickness and durability. Inflatable air mattresses can work well as a lightweight option. If you’re planning on camping in cold weather, here’s a handy trick: Use an insulating material between your sleeping bag and your mattress to keep extra toasty warm. Long distance hiking - A light weight and compactness are both incredibly important for a minimalist hiker. Seek out an ultralight, water resistant camping mattress in a smaller make for easier portability. Pay over 8 weeks and receive your order now! Using Afterpay you can pay for your order over 8 weeks.

Jump to: navigation, search One of the many ways to set up some brands of commercial, modern swags Rolled modern commercial swags In Australia, a swag is a portable sleeping unit.[1] It is normally a bundle of belongings rolled in a traditional fashion to be carried by a foot traveller in the bush. Before motor transport was common, foot travel over long distances was essential to agriculture in the Australian bush. It is sometimes referred to as a "backpack bed". Swags have been carried by shearers, miners, the unemployed, and many others, some of whom would have been happy to have been called swagmen and some not. In Australia, the term swag is still widely used to refer to a tent or other portable shelter used for camping or outdoor sleeping. A modern swag is a waterproof canvas sleeping compartment that is sometimes insect-proof. All swags come with a foam mattress, and can comfortably be slept in with the addition of a pillow and sleeping bag.
