Lightspeed Outdoors Queen PVC-Free Airbed

This highly portable bed is designed with camping and travel in mind. The battery-powered air pump is included and everything rolls easily into a carry bag. And PVC-free means you won’t have to deal with any headache-inducing scents!

Coleman SupportRest Double-High Elite Air Mattress

For extended campground stays—or a week of glamping!—the Coleman SupportRest is the next best thing to your own bed. The extra height allows for added comfort when you’re at rest and ease upon getting up. The air mattress has a built-in electric pump for use with a wall outlet, but you’ll probably want to invest in a portable rechargeable air pump like this one for camping trips.

ALPS Mountaineering Velocity Air Bed

This slim, lightweight air bed is perfect in smaller tents that would be cramped with a thicker mattress—it’s supportive without the extra bulk. The Velocity is also PVC-free, which means you won’t have to put up with that terrible chemical vinyl scent many air beds have. We also love that the rechargeable air pump is included.

SoundAsleep Camping Series

Sound asleep is exactly what you’ll be when you spend a night on one of these air mattresses. The Camping Series is distinguished from other SoundAsleep beds by the rechargeable external air pump, making inflation a snap when you arrive at the campground.
