Although there are people that seemingly enjoy the suffering part of camping out, for most of us it's simply easier to enjoy nature's beauty when you're well-rested! Fortunately, with a variety of camping air mattresses to choose from, there's no reason to suffer through one more restless night outdoors, and no excuse for sticks and stones poking and prodding you through your sleeping bag whenever you try to get comfortable.
A camping air mattress keeps you up off of the ground, sleeping comfortably on a cushion of air. Camping air mattresses differ from normal air beds in one key way - the air pump that inflates the bed is battery powered instead of requiring an electrical outlet. The Aero All-Terrain Bed even has a pump that - if you should forget to charge the batteries - can even run off your car's cigarette lighter. Camping air beds are easy to travel with, since they can be folded up neatly for transport. You can bring sheets along, or use a sleeping bag on top of the air mattress.
If you only plan on camping infrequently with your air mattress, a more inexpensive model will probably work out great - but if you want to use it repeatedly, your best bet is a better-quality model, such as an Aero. They're made out of tougher materials, and will hold up better to the rigors of camping.
