While you are looking forward to your spring camping break spare some time to consider what you are going to be sleeping on.
What better place to start than the Great Outdoors magazine's review of the Best camping mattresses for 2024: maximum comfort for campers.
As you would expect of any review focussed on camping comfort our Dozer self-inflating sleeping mat is there flexing its muscle. Although not as thick as some of the others in the test, it still positions itself strongly as an excellent choice for springtime car or van camping in the UK, particularly for its comfort and value.
The review highlights the Dozer's design as straightforward and user-friendly, nothing here to keep you awake at night. It features a single valve that automatically inflates when opened. This simplicity in design translates to a quick setup process. While there is an option to top it up with additional breaths, the review notes that this is often unnecessary. The mat's soft polyester surface adds to the overall comfort, and its impressive R-value of 6.8 ensures adequate insulation from the ground, a crucial factor in the unpredictable spring weather of the UK.
Price is where the Dozer truly shines. It offers great value, making it an ideal alternative to the pricier Exped, Bug Agnes and Sea to Summit mats in the test.
To sum up, the ease of use, coupled with its affordability, makes the Dozer a fantastic option for campers. This combination of comfort, simplicity, and value makes the Dozer a smart choice for spring car camping in the UK.
