Comments about Kelty Double Wide Basecamp Pad:

A good pad for the wife and daughter to share on our November camping trip to the Blue Ridge Mountains. Everyone got a good night's sleep without any stiffness in the morning. Although it is self inflating, I did have to finish inflating both sides by mouth each time we've used it. Deflating is slow, as you only get one valve per side, unlike a standard pad which has 2. I recommend this for any multi-night trip.

Comments about Kelty Double Wide Basecamp Pad:

I was looking for something to use on the ground/floor, or on cots under a double wide sleeping bag. It is very warm, and doesn't slip at all. I've only inflated it a few times, and have hopes that it may relax a bit, but right now I would describe this as a pad that will keep you from being bruised by the ground, but it's certainly not cushy or particularly soft. It's advertized as 2.5" thick, and I haven't seen anything near that so far.

It packs quite compactly, but it difficult to roll up small, especially as a one-person job.

    Comments about Kelty Double Wide Basecamp Pad:

    this is a solid mattress for two people for the price. Not disappointed in the purchase. Makes car camping almost like a hotel compared to ultralight ground pads. Much cheaper than a Paco Pad, or the equivalent Therma-rest and couplers. You can throw sheets on it and it's almost like a bed. Bring pillows and you wonder why you ever pay $80 for a hotel room. In two nights this thing will pay for itself.

      This double air mattress inflated easily and was quite comfortable. My wife and I didn't slide apart on separate mattresses in the tent. We are satisfied with our purchase as it lived up to our expectations.

          We bought it for staying on our boat or for a tent in a campground. It is not practical to lug around. Deflating such a large pad takes a little patience, but it does roll up with some weight on it. It is good for the right application.

          Comments about Kelty Double Wide Basecamp Pad:

          Since this is essentially two separate mattresses that are attached in the middle it does not really perform as one continuous bed. The faux suede top is great for the non-slip, but also grabs dirt like crazy. It was very comfortable. I returned it because the top de-laminated from the foam causing the top to balloon up.

          Had to inflate the Kelty at 1:37 AM at my parents home after the air mattress we were using deflated. Self inflation worked well and Kelty kept us off the floor and able to sleep. Only negative is deflation and packing - same valve that allows intake also permits deflation. Found it hard to deflate and get back in gear bag, otherwise it did it's job.

          The most comfortable pad I have used. Took a while to inflate the first time because it had been in storage for awhile. Very durable. My biggest complaint is deflating the thing to a reasonable size. I would recommend two single pads with a couple kit rather than this.

              A:

              1st let air out of the air mattress
              2nd open up valve of self inflating portion
              Make sure both valves are open and roll from the end that does not have a valve toward the valve end. Once rolled cap the valves.

            can I blow more air into my Ketly sleeping pad to make it firmer ?

              Yes, you can add a bit of extra by mouth in order to firm up the mattress.
