Those campers and backpackers like us at 3Luxe who simply adore self-inflating mattresses have Therm-A-Rest to thank for inventing them and bringing outdoor comfort to a whole new level. The DreamTime XL is big in more ways than one. For starters, it self-inflates to a firm three inches. And it comes with a cushy pillow top and a removable (and machine washable) plush fleece cover for big-time comfort, especially during early spring and late fall trips. This $200 air mattress also measures 30 x 77 inches, so unless you or your camping pal is a pro basketball player, you should have plenty of legroom. The compression straps will help you keep this "Best Of" air mattress rolled tightly as possible. But there's no escaping its size. This isn't a backpacking mattress, but rather a car-camping mattress, or an additional bed inside a camper. You best bring two or more, or come prepared to fight for it, because one look at this large mattress will have your camping companions seeing green.

From independent research, we selected the Therm-A-Rest DreamTime XL as a 3LUXE "Best Of". To see our other Sleeping Pad selections visit our Sleeping Pad Overview.
