View all REI Co-op Sleeping Pads REI Co-op Camp Bed 3.5 Self-Inflating Sleeping Pad Reviews - page 2 Is there a way to tie two mattresses, side by side, they seam to move apart on the tent floor? The Therm-a-Rest Universal Couple Kit will be a good choice for mating two Camp Bed 3.5 pads. Does anybody know of a cover for this? I like to cover my airmat with a cotton sleep sack like people use when they stay at a youth hostel. I buy them at REI too. Is there a maximum weight limit for the 3.5" REI Camp Beds? I'm 245lbs. I've had no trouble with this mattress in regards to weight.
I can't get this to deflate--what do I need to do? To deflate the Camp Bed 3.5, the best bet would be to open both valves and roll the mattress up starting at the foot of the pad. How should I store this pad when not in use? Does it need to be unrolled and stored flat (or upright)? It should be stored unrolled, flat, valves open with nothing resting on top. I store mine under my bed. How comfortable is this pad for sleeping on a hardwood floor, and does it require a sleeping bag or is the padding of the pad alone sufficient? (I am a fairly large person and also not so young.) This pad is 3.5 inches thick and will be relatively comfortable on a hardwood floor. We recommend using a sleeping bag or blanket to stay warm. Can this be pumped up by a hand pump or electric pump to speed up the inflation process? The REI Camp Bed 3.5 can be inflated using a pump as long as an appropriately sized valve adapter is used. In fact, they can also be inflated by mouth.
Is there a good way to test this for leaks? Mine has developed a slow leak and I can't find it. I'm worried about submerging it in water to test it... The best way to test a sleeping pad for leaks is to submerge it in a tub of water while it is inflated. You should be able to see bubbles escaping consistently from the location of the leak or leaks. Alternative methods do exist but may not allow you to have confidence that the entire surface has been checked for leaks.

People who sleep well have fewer heart problems, are less likely to make risky financial decisions, and are in better shape. So in order to sleep better at night, we recommend getting a mattress topper.
We picked four of our favorites (that are all super discounted right now.) Memory foam conforms to your body perfectly, which reduces pressure points that cause you to toss and turn at night. Pro-tip: These toppers come in various widths (from 2″ to 4″). If you’re a bigger person we recommend selecting a thicker model. Memory Foam Solutions: $659.99 $113.99 If regular memory foam isn’t enough for you, go for the latex mattress topper. It provides 33% more pressure relief than conventional foam and fiber cushioning materials. Plus, it won’t bunch, flatten, or sag. Ultimate dreams Talalay latex soft mattress topper: $599.00 $354.00 Another option is the gel infused memory foam topper, which is known for its therapeutic qualities and orthopedic support. This gel mattress topper specifically helps relieve neck, back and shoulder pain. And because the foam curves around your body, it helps relieve stress, joint and muscle pain and even arthritis.
The Milliard gel infused memory foam mattress topper + ultra soft removable bamboo cover: $369.00 $84.99 And if you want the best quality for a lower-priced model, this mattress topper is your go-to. “High-quality yet super affordable; I was initially worried it was going to be cheaply made, but not at all — it’s just as nice as the more expensive toppers I’ve owned in the past, if not better,” one reviewer wrote.
