camping mattressesCamping Mattresses - Comfort In The Wild
There are so many types and styles of mattresses on the market, how do you choose which one to get? The best way that you should choose a new mattress is to go to a mattress store and try them all out. You will also want to do your research and read about camping mattresses as well. Camping mattresses can be categorized as sleeping bags or air mattresses. Lets just have a quick preview of the two variants of the mattresses! Quality sleeping bags are made of goose or duck down-extremely expensive. By regulation, even a bag tagged "100 percent down" may have up to 15 percent feathers or fibers. Any lesser percentage must be on the label, such as "75/25", meaning 75 percent down, 25 percent feathers. "Loft" is a trade term for fluffiness. This marks the difference in insulating materials. Northern goose has the best loft, retaining its shape almost indefinitely, even after repeated crushing. It's costly and can't be washed. Sleeping bags as camping mattresses can be dry cleaned if properly aired out after the cleaning process. Some solvents used in dry cleaning give off poisonous fumes and could be dangerous to the user if the fumes become trapped in the sleeping bag. Most bags are machine washable and dryable. It's best to check manufacturer's cleaning instructions. The more insulating material, the better the sleeping bag. Insulating fabrics made of Dacron 88, Holofil II, DuPont Fiberfill II, Permaloft, Acryloft and DN500 can closely equal goose down's loft, insulating ability and light weight. They are less expensive, washable and non-allergenic. Bonded-insulation filling eliminates the need for quilting and reduces "cold spots" at the point of quilting. Zipper construction is an important quality factor. Weight and size of zipper are more important than materials used....
