Vango Shangri-La Lux 12 Double Self-Inflating Sleeping Mat

The Vango Shangri-La Lux 12 Double is a double-width self-inflating sleeping mat for comfort-focused car camping, family tents and suitable caravan awning or motorhome setups. Its listed 12cm depth and 200 × 132cm sleeping surface provide a shared space for two, without the gap between separate single mats. Check the dimensions against your sleeping compartment before ordering.

Choosing it for UK camping

Consider this mat when cushioning and a shared sleeping surface matter more than a small backpacking load. Check weight and packed size before choosing it for a walking trip. Comfort depends on your sleeping position and preferred firmness.

Thickness is not an insulation rating. The current description does not state a tested R-value, so confirm insulation guidance for your expected conditions rather than assuming suitability from its depth or a season label. Choose your sleeping mat and sleeping bag together.

Frequently asked questions

How big is the Vango Shangri-La Lux 12 Double?

The listed inflated dimensions are 200 × 132 × 12cm. Compare these with your tent's sleeping compartment, allowing space for sloping walls and other kit.

Is this a double sleeping mat?

Does it have a built-in pump?

The listing specifies an integrated USB-rechargeable pump for inflation and deflation, with a stated setup time of around 60 seconds. Follow the exact model's instructions and charge it before your trip.

Can I adjust the firmness?

The listed Cyclone valve allows firmness adjustment after inflation. Test support in your usual sleeping position and follow the instructions.

Is the Lux 12 Double suitable for autumn camping?

Check insulation guidance and expected overnight conditions first. A 12cm depth does not establish thermal performance, and this description does not state a tested R-value.

Can I try it before buying?

Yes. The Lux 12 Double is on display to test at our St Austell area showroom in Cornwall, alongside the other three Lux 12 and 16 Grande and Double mats. Confirm opening hours before travelling.
