Source: borrowed it
Summary
The pinnacle of comfort, the one mattress to rule them all. You may re-evaluate the comfort of your mattress at home. My parents have replaced the RV mattress with two of these.
Pros
- Comfort
- Brand reliability
- Compressibility
Cons
- Price
This is far and above the most comfortable mattress for camping with a car, a wife, for a week, a night, warm, and cold. Foam over top of air with a large overall size and rectangular shape take away all of the "roughing it" except the first-world problem of how to get melted marshmallows and chocolate off of the area between your fingers.
I have used my father's pads for a few nights of car camping, and now I'm saving up for my own. They will replace my trifold Costco sleeping pads that together take up somewhere around a cubic yard.
The Dreamtime packs up just a tad larger than a traditional air mattress. OK, twice as large. These pack down better and are far more comfortable than those Costco mattresses. The only beef I have is the price point.
Disclaimer: I am from Seattle-ish, and have severe brand loyalty to all brands originating in the area.
