Choosing a mat for UK camping

For weekends under canvas or longer campsite stays, check that the 200 x 60cm sleeping area fits your tent's usable floor space. Also allow room for the packed mat in your car boot. For cooler nights, use appropriate bedding and check verified insulation information rather than judging warmth from thickness alone.

How much does it weigh and how small does it pack?

It weighs 2.5kg and packs to 64 x 20cm diameter. Check these measurements against your transport and storage space.

At 2.5kg, it is better suited to car camping and campsite holidays than trips where minimising backpack weight is a priority.

Will it fit my tent or camp bed?

Compare its 200 x 60cm footprint with the flat, usable sleeping space. Follow the tent or camp-bed manufacturer's guidance; a person rating or bed name alone does not guarantee fit.

How do I inflate and pack it away?

The mat uses a Cyclone valve for inflation and deflation. Follow the supplied Vango instructions for valve operation, firmness adjustment, packing and care.

Does it include a carry bag and repair kit?

Yes. A carry bag, securing straps and repair kit are included. The soft brushed carry bag can also be used as a pillow.

Is the warmth figure of 13 an R-value?

The supplied specifications list warmth as 13 but do not identify an R-value test standard. Do not treat that figure as a verified R-value or a minimum-temperature guarantee.

How does it differ from the Arcadia Grande and Double?

The Comfort offers a standard single sleeping area. The Arcadia Grande is a spacious individual format, while the Arcadia Double provides a shared sleeping format. All three have a listed thickness of 7.5cm; use our linked comparison guide to choose by fit, features and budget.
