Fall brings cooler temperatures that are driving outdoor enthusiasts into the great outdoors, but not before they’re properly dressed. Luckily, there are a ton of great deals on gear ahead of the upcoming camping season. REI is offering daily discounts on essentials like camping stoves and lightweight fleece layers, while Amazon is offering record-breaking discounts on portable power stations. If you’re looking for a better night’s sleep, you should look no further than Walmart, because right now one of their best-selling sleeping pads is $180 off its regular price.
Xiecuva's Self-Inflating Single Sleeping Pad is on sale for $80 at Walmart — an incredible 69% off the $260 retail price. If you've ever tent-camped, you'll quickly learn how important it is to have a quality sleeping pad to separate your body from the cold, hard ground, and customers say this pad is “super comfortable” and will “take your tent camping experience to a new level.” It's only available in pale green, but if you need a smaller or larger size, there are four other options available at deep discounts, like this Small Single for $66 or the Double for $130.

The key to enjoying car camping or overlanding (at least during the hours you spend sleeping) is making sure you’re comfortable. For most people who sleep on a comfortable mattress at home, just bringing a sleeping bag won’t cut it, so packing a thick sleeping pad is the best move. This mat features 4 inches of high-tech spine-hugging foam and can hold up to 800 pounds, so you can be sure to feel comfortable and supported while you’re sleeping in the woods. The outer fabric is also designed to be gentle on your skin, so you won’t wake up irritated when you inevitably slip out of your sleeping bag. It uses two valves to regulate the amount of air that goes in, so you can customize its firmness. Open both to self-inflate, then leave just one vent open when you want to deflate.

Satisfied campers who used the mattress raved about how comfortable it was. One commented that it was “as comfortable as my bed” while another said it was “one of the sturdiest self-inflating mattresses available.”
Another customer, who is 6’3” and weighs 230 pounds, loved the sturdiness of the mattress. “I needed a mattress that would provide me with the support I needed throughout the night and that could be easily assembled and disassembled in the highlands of Wyoming,” they said. “This product did not disappoint!”
Walmart is always a sure bet for the best deals on outdoor gear, and this sleeping mat is one of the best we’ve seen in a while at nearly 70% off. But at these prices, you’re better off locking in the size you want because they may sell out.
