How to Inflate an Air Mattress While Camping

The secret to comfortable camping is having an air mattress where you lay down after a tiring long day. However, air mattresses need to be inflated. To be honest, electric outlets are not always during camping so you need to consider other alternatives for swelling your air mattress.
There are different ways to inflate your air mattress while camping and outdoor activities such as car battery 12V air pumps, battery packs to power electric air pumps, campsite electric outlets, and the last option is to use your own breath.

Which method you use depends on what resource you have and how long you will stay. Sea to Summit, Ferrino, Regatta, Campingaz, and Outwell are the best brands if you need pumps for inflating air mattresses.
Inflating your air mattress with electric methods is the easiest one as you don’t need to put much effort. Campsite electric outlets are not everywhere, so you can consider buying a 12V DC air pump. Just plug into your car and inflate your air mattress with ease. Another option is to use a battery powered air pump. These pumps are rechargeable by simply plugging into your running car or electric outlet.
Lastly, if you don’t have access to any of the above mentioned electric options for inflating your air mattress, consider using a manual pump. The main advantage of using a manual pump is you don’t need to worry about electricity.
