When camping in winter, hikers often wake up because of the cold, because they sleep directly on the mattresses. Sleeping cushions cannot only improve sleep comfort, but also prevent heat loss and maintain heat. So when the campsite during the night in winter, be sure to bring a suitable asleep rug.

How to choose a sleeping carpet?

Before answering this question, let’s solve some questions from the fields.

Why can’t you only wear a sleeping bag and sleep on the floor?

Evaporation,convection,management ANDradiationThere are four ways to lose heat in the body. convectionANDmanagement By dissipating the heat more because while sleeping, you are lying down.

If you sleep directly on the floor, it will be cold, it doesn’t matter how often the sleeping bag is, because the ground constantly sucks. There is a great loss of heat, it can leave you weakness the next day and the worst is the direct temperature loss at night.

1. The type of mattresses to sleep

Common sleep mattresses can be divided into about three types:

• Autoinflitable permanent bed

Sleeping bed

→ Naturehike Drink Foma Camping Sleep Pad

→ natural foam camping mattress

The bed in bed of foam is made of high density foam / foam, it must not be swollen, just take it for use. There are many air holes closed inside the foam. They can be launched or folded in Z.

The greatest advantage is that it is not afraid of being perforated, even if damaged, still has the ability to block the cold. Bold for storage, light material, very suitable for use in mountaineering.

However, it is not suitable for the use of winter or in cold mountains due to its subtle thickness, relatively weak comfort and the average heat conservation effect, which cannot isolate cold and humid air.

It can be used in combination with inflatable cushions and automatic inflatable cushions to obtain better protection effects from thermal insulation and humidity.

• Advantages:Light, low and resistant price

• Devilini:Relatively large, weak volume, hard comfort

Inflatable beds become easier, which makes them very suitable for backpacks. Many mattresses to sleep inflatable now use hot materials or reflective materials to increase heat.

The inflatable bed must have jumped into the air or use a swelling device (such asThe air pump/Inflatable bag) to inflate. If the air bed is larger, it can be associated with an electric swelling to facilitate swelling and deflation.

In addition to the fabrics (some use thermal insulation materials), only the air supports the internal structure and the bearing capacity. In addition, it is easy for humidity to enter the mattress and shorten life.

The air cap can slow down the management of heat and isolate the contact of the body with cold soil, making it more suitable for use in cold environments. The storage of the inflatable inflatable beds is also very simple and the body is small, which is more convenient to be transported compared to the car mattresses -inflammatory.

This type of inflatable bed is very easy and suitable for hikers, but it is not comfortable enough to satisfy people who are used to sleeping.

• Advantages:Relatively comfortable, light, fingerprint and easy to transport.
• Devilini:When the temperature is low, the normal air bed is generally isolated. The air -open air bed uses a special isolation layer. If you purchased a normal air bed, you can put a layer of insulation under the air bed to improve the performance of the insulation. If two people share an inflatable bed, it is easy to interfere with each other. After all, the return of a person will directly cause the air flow and influence the sleep of the other person.

The greatest difference is that, in addition to the air, there is also a material of insulating foam filling, which plays a role of comfort and heat. Body heat at night is less likely to be dissipated by the floor through the mattress.

The self -inflammatory sleep stain has a foam with open holes, which can cars -the bed for sleeping, so that the sleep bed can inhale the air to produce thickness. Usually, there is an input and an air out.

During the opening of the bed in bed, he will start inflating automatically, then block the airport so that the air does not go out when it is lying on the mattress. During storage, open the airport to squeeze the air as you run the bed in bed and finally to block the airport to prevent the air from entering the sleep bed.

There are two types of car beds -inflammable: leanANDOften. The first is easier and more suitable for mountaineering, but cannot maintain heat. The often sleep mattress is larger and heavier after deposit, which is more suitable for general campsite and family camping and comfort is much bigger!

The car mattresses -in the market on the market range from 3 cm to 15 cm. If you want comfort, especially if you like to sleep on the one hand, it is advisable to choose a thickness of 7.5 cm or more.

• Advantages:The heat and support are better. The swelling is simple, you just have to open the swelling valve and take the mattress. The air will be filled by the inhalation valve alone. The comfort of the pillow can be adjusted by adjusting the air pressure.

• Devilini:The weight is relatively large, usually more expensive than the usual foam cushions and is small without inflatable cushions. They are slightly pierced or broken

2. What kind of camping?

The mats used in different types of camping are different.

If you are more frequentclimbingANDcampingIt is more appropriate to choose a bed for sleeping in light foam or a thin cars -inflammable bed.

3. The size of the beds to sleep
