Making sure you have one of the best sleeping pads for car camping can make or break your trip.
Nobody wants to get stuck using a pad thats uncomfortable and wind up with a bad nights rest.
Some kinds of foam pads will also be great specifically for car camping though.
TheBig Agnes Insulated Air Core Ultra Sleeping Padis insulated with Thermolite insulation and have a 4.5 R-value.
In short, its versatile.
It also comes with a stuff sack but no patch kit.
One reviewer wrote:Best thing ever.
Owned many Therm-a-Rest products over the years.
This, by far, is the most comfortable one yet for car tenting.
Too heavy for backpacking but spent 2 weeks car camping and this was amazing!
It comes with a stuff sack and patch kit.
This pad is truly perfect.
I do not bottom out when laying on my side and stayed perfectly inflated the whole night.
I didnt wake up feeling like I got dragged behind a tractor all night and got excellent rest.
One reviewer wrote:I got this as I am a larger person and this is perfect.
Ive slept on it several times and it performed as I hoped.
I had to top it up every couple of days but not bad at all.
Packs up pretty big.
Its never going back in the bag it came in.
I motorcycle camp so not that much of an issue for me.
I cant attest to it being insulated or not but it did fine in temperate conditions.
It also comes with a carrying bag.

Absolutely perfect for car camping.
It’s really easy to roll up, it’s easy to take cover on/off for washing.
It’s easy to get into the bag.
Doesn’t take up too much space and it’s super comfortable to sleep on.
Even side sleepers have reported that this self-inflating pad is comfortable, aided by its height.
It comes with a patch kit and a stuff sack that can also be used as an inflation sack.
One reviewer wrote:We spent 7 extremely restful and comfortable nights on the MondoKing mattresses.
Yes, they are a bit large when rolled up, compared to backpacking mattresses and the Thermarest classic.
I would not hesitate to offer it as a spare guest bed inside, even on a hardwood floor.
We found that between 2 and 3 breaths was all that was needed for our ideal comfort.
Consider getting aninflatable sleeping pad for two.
Its nice and thick and has two size options.
Both versions come with a stuff sack and should only be used during warm-weather camping.
One reviewer wrote:Excellent mattress for camping.
We have a Dodge Grand Caravan and purchased this mattress for van camping vs sleeping in a tent.
We put all of the middle and back row seats down and the mattress fit perfectly!
We laid the mattress on top and slept comfortably!
Its approximately 4 inches thick, when blown up.
I was very surprised at how comfortable it was…and no getting bit by mosquitoes in the van!
Were looking forward to using it again!
It comes with a repair kit, stuff sack, and inflation sack.
One reviewer wrote:I love camping but I hate sleeping on the ground.
Well with this pad I sleep like I was back home in my bed.
Do not waste money trying cheaper pads that are out there this item is worth every penny.
Its not ultralight but what good is ultralight if you cant sleep?
One reviewer wrote:I honestly wasnt too sure how much warmer a pad would make me.
I was so wrong.
It was the warmest night of winter camping Ive ever had.
We were close to zero degrees F. It made an obvious difference to past experiences.
Easy to inflate and easy enough to deflate, the valve design is really nice.
