One more reason to sleep under the stars!

There's nothing quite like spending a few nights in the great outdoors. Imagine it: chowing down on your favorite grilling recipes, strumming a few country songs around the campfire, sitting in a just-right camping chair... But when it comes to sleeping arrangement, things can get tricky—or at least, you'd think they would. Turns out it's pretty easy to set up a super comfy camping bed. The best air mattresses for camping are lightweight and cozy—and we're sharing our top picks ahead.

When shopping for a camping mattress or sleeping pad, you'll first want to decide if you want a single-sleeper mat or a two-person bed. Single mats are great for using along with a sleeping bag to keep you extra cozy. They're also the best choice for backpacking or backcountry camping, since they won't weight down your pack. If you're car camping or glamping, however, a two-person sleeping mat or bulkier air mattress will make your tent feel almost like an outdoor hotel, and they'll make it easier to get snuggly under the stars, too.

Pack up your favorite camping essentials, pitch your go-to camping tent, and get ready to have the best (outdoor) sleep of your life!
