Inflatable mattress for leisure and sports Naturehike
A travel mat is good, but sleeping on it, in nature, is not very comfortable. Outdoor enthusiasts prefer inflatable mattresses and pillows. An interesting option is offered by Naturehike, which positions its products on the mountaineering equipment market. The air mattress is presented as a very compact and convenient solution. And the price of an inflatable mat is quite low.
Inflatable mattress for leisure and sports Naturehike
Thermoplastic polyurethane is chosen as the material for the manufacture of the rug. Along with low thermal conductivity, it has a very high flexibility index. It does not break when bent, easily restores its original shape. The exterior of the Naturehike air mattress is nylon. The material washes well, when dirty and does not fade in the sun.
The design of the mattress is segmental, the structure resembles a pimply film. This adds comfort to the mat and guarantees a minimum heat conduction coefficient. On the other hand, dust and debris that gets on the surface of the mattress cannot be removed. You need to take the mattress in your hands and shake it out. Which is not always convenient, especially if the mattress is in a closed tent in winter.
The process of pumping an air mattress is interestingly implemented. The pump is not included, but the lungs do not have to be used. The kit includes a special bag with a valve and a fastened neck. Working on the principle of communicating vessels, the air from this bag can be quickly distilled into the mattress. The set includes a compression bag to reduce the size of the mattress and convenient transportation.

Air mattress - advantages and disadvantages
The most important advantage is ease of use. The mattress is easy to inflate, fold, store and transport. The materials used in the production of the mattress promise high wear resistance. This is true for frequent camping trips, where ordinary rugs wear out in one season.
The Naturehike air mattress can be used in sports. It is convenient for exercises where you often have to kneel or lower yourself on them. The integrity of the joints is guaranteed. The mat is convenient for yoga, especially for thin people - it does not hurt to lie and sit in one position for a long time.
The main disadvantage of the Naturehike air mattress is its narrow dimensions. Only 59 centimeters. If you lie sideways, the disadvantage is invisible. But on the back or stomach is uncomfortable. You need to use at least 2 of these rugs. But here another problem manifests itself - there are no connecting elements between the two rugs. Like in sleeping bags, for example. It was possible to add at least rivets if the zippers were expensive to install.
