REI Co-op - Camp Dreamer XL Self-Inflating Deluxe Bed

I really like my zenbivvy setup. I'm older now and mostly do car camping with my family so I use a pretty bulky REI camp dreamer xl pad with the biggest zenbivvy sheet and quilt. They make systems that are designed for backpackers, though. It's a fitted sheet with a built in hood. The quilt uses either zippers or buttons to fasten to the sheet depending on which one you pick. The foot of the quilt can be closed up for cold nights. It's so nice to have more room to move around at night instead of being zipped up in a mummy bag.

As others have said, an exped megamat duo is probably the best option out there but it's pricey. There's a few from other brands that are a similar design (soft top, filled with foam so labeled as self inflating, etc.). Alternatives would be Nemo Roamer, Sea-To-Summit Comfort Deluxe, REI Camp Dreamer, MEC Reactor. The foam filling and soft top make them way more comfortable than the massive intex matresses or the one you have posted even though they are significantly thinner.

I'm assuming you want a self-inflating. I have the Nemo Roamer in the double and love it. There's also the REI Camp Dreamer.

I have an older version of the [REI camp dreamer](https://www.rei.com/product/216296), and it’s an insane value, especially for the sale price. Never had any issues with it leaking, and it handles down below freezing just fine, as long as you’ve got a good sleeping bag. I don’t bother putting up on a cot since I usually camp in a smaller tent, but you definitely could if you find one wide enough.

For car camping, an Exped MegaMat. REI Camp Dreamer and there is one Amazon by LostHorizon. They all are all self inflating and combine memory foam with air. Backpacking, the new Thermarest Neoloft, Big Agnes Rapide of Kilos Aero Cloud pad. You can also try a mattress topper and/or closed cell foam mattress over what you have now.

I can’t find a recent recommendation for a good sleeping pad for my husband and I. We had the REI camp dreamer for 3 years, until it started leaking and we couldn’t find the leak. We then tried the exped deepSleep duo, but there was not as much cushion. I was about to just do the dreamer again but looks like they are not even selling it anymore. We also have 2 big Agnes’s insulated single pads. They are great for lighter camping but next to each other we slide away and off the pad, they also do not have the cushion the dreamer did, it’s all just air. I would really like to spend under $300 but not sure that is an option. Any recommendations? We might also be willing to do a cot, but I don’t want anything to take up more space in the car than the dreamer did and I can’t seem to find many 2 person cots.

Get any of the foam filled inflatable mattresses. Thermorest Mondo King, Exped, REI Dreamer, and I am sure there are others. They are big and heavy, ie. Car camping not backpacking, but are fantastic! I do a bunch of scout camping as well and pulled the trigger on the REI model when it was on sale, and bought a second one as soon as I tried it out. I tried the Thermorest and it was about the same, I liked the feeling of the top of it, and the warranty was a lot better, but think the REI version was on sale for a little over $100, so I went with that. Don’t think you can go wrong with any of the models, but not the REI version only comes in one size, jumbo, so keep an eye on the size of the tent.
