Foam pad underneath is my go-to too—saves warmth and stress on the mattress. Anyone ever find the built-in pump drains a power bank faster than expected?

Layering a mylar blanket under the mattress does help with warmth, but I’ve noticed if there’s a big temp difference you can get a bit of condensation. Nothing drastic, but something to watch if you’re camping somewhere damp. I always keep a foam pad underneath for both insulation and puncture prevention—makes a real difference for comfort too. Has anyone tried doubling up with both foam and mylar for a real cold snap?
Those mylar blankets really do trap heat, but yes, they’re on the crinkly side! I’ve noticed a bit of condensation buildup under the mattress when using one, especially after a chilly night. Not a dealbreaker if you’re dealing with wet ground anyway, but it’s worth airing things out in the morning. Has anyone tried putting a towel or sheet between the mylar and mattress to cut down on
A little “give” in the mattress really does help, both for comfort and avoiding busted seams. Anyone ever notice the pump getting noisy after a few months’ use?
A foam pad under the mattress is one of my go-to tricks for chilly nights and extra puncture protection. The difference in warmth is pretty impressive, especially if you’re camping early or late in the season. I’ve also noticed that letting a bit of air out is gentler on my back and the seams. Anybody else stash a mylar blanket under there when it gets really cold, or is that overkill?
Absolutely, keeping it clear of anything sharp is rule number one. I always toss a thick old blanket under mine too—adds a bit of padding and peace of mind against sneaky rocks or sticks.
