Vango Shangri-La 10 Double Self Inflating Mat

Product Information

The Shangri-La II 10 Double follows the Grande’s great feature-set and supreme build-quality but applies it to a double-size mattress instead. This large 200cm by 132cm Self-Inflating Mat is placed 10cm above the ground, offering plenty of protection, support and comfort away from the cold floor or rough terrain. This increased size away from the floor allows the 3D design to spread its wings as the upright walls around the mattress can raise the structure to display an even amount of space all around the surface. This is much better than comparable airbeds and inflatable mattresses as they tend to have a ‘rounded’ shape which results in you losing the extra amount of space towards the edges of your mat, but not with the Shangri-La II 10 Double - you get all the space you need at a great price! Ultra-Reliable - Produced using precision machined products, high end TPU lamination and strong fabrics ensuring that you won't be let down by your mattress R-Value for the KingCamp is ~6.5 which is pretty decent for cold weather camping, but not quite on a par with the Outwell Dreamcatcher. For typical UK winter conditions though, this is ample. Just make sure you bring along a decent sleeping bag or use electric hookup for an overnight heater.

Ultra-Reliable - Precision manufacturing and modern TPU lamination ensures durability and reliability. We really love Outdoor Revolution – they make great quality items at the mid-to-top end of the camping spectrum. Yes they may be slightly more expensive than the Decathlon’s of this world, but we’ve never been let down by their tents or their general camping gear. It is a true 4-season sleeping pad with an R-Value of 6.8. This provides excellent insulation between you and the floor for effective winter-use. Moving to the present day and there’s now an extremely wide variety of camping mats and camping mattresses on the market – some of them self inflate (the topic of this article) whereas others require pumping – either via a hand pump, pump bag (a simple way of filling a bag with dry air which can then be squeezed into the SIM via a valve) or electric pump. Camping Mat vs Camping MattressInflation is simple and obviously doesn’t require a pump. Simply undo the valve and the air will gush in with full inflation after 5-10 minutes. At this point tighten up the valve and you are ready to climb on board. Inflated size for the Ultim is 200 x 136 x 8cm which is enough for most people under 6ft 6 inches in height. The Ultim In Use The comfort of the MondoKing is exceptionally good. I lay down on it for a few minutes to ‘test it out’ and found myself dropping off surprisingly rapidly – that wasn’t the plan, but it’s testament to the cushioning on offer. Thermarest use a ‘Stratacore’ construction to achieve this which combines a continuous layer of thermal foam with alternating ridges of air and foam. It works very well. The Vango Shangri-La II Grande / Double is, as the name suggests, is the pinnacle of Vango's self inflating mat collection.

Ultra-Reliable: Produced using high end TPU lamination and strong fabrics ensuring that you won't be let down by your mattress Vertical Walls - The Mattress is three-dimensionally constructed with vertical walls so all upper surface is usable providing a bigger surface area and more comfortable sleep The Decathlon Quechua Ultima is a comfortable mattress at a pretty reasonable price point. It’s not the cheapest double and it’s not the most expensive. Would we like a little more cushioning, say 10cm total? Well actually we didn’t really miss those extra 2cm, and the great insulation really made a difference on a cold autumn night. We slept very well, with none of the ‘sleeping bad sliding’ you get on some smoother SIMs. For real additional comfort to the Ultim you need to be looking at a 15cm SIM such as the Outdoor Revolution Skyfall or similar. Foam-based camping beds have been around for donkeys years, in the shape of a simple foam rectangle. Although technology has moved on since then, there’s still plenty to be said for a simple camping mat.It might not offer plush comfort in the way an inflatable air bed would, but it won’t absorb water and can’t be punctured – something airmats are at risk of.Elastic Fabric - Produced using a soft, elastic yarn knitted into a comfortable fabric providing a home-from-home feeling with the best possible night's sleep
