Therm-a-Rest MondoKing 3D Camp Mattress

Top Pro

Great for camping use even in cold weather

It's a great mattress to use when camping outdoors at any season, even during winter. You'll be well-insulated from the frozen ground because it has a high [R-value](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-value_(insulation) of 11.4. Other cheap camping mattresses only have an R-value of 4 or lower. An R-value level tells you the capacity of a material in protecting you from the cold. The higher it is, the better the protection.
