Shangri La Lux 12 Double Sleeping Mat

The Vango Shangri-La Lux 12 Double Sleeping Mat sorts out one of camping's biggest compromises - getting a proper night's sleep without lugging half your house to the campsite. That 12cm thickness isn't just marketing speak; it genuinely cushions you from hard ground whether you're sleeping on your side or sprawled out like a starfish. The integrated rechargeable pump takes about 60 seconds to get the mat from flat pack to ready for bed, which beats messing about with foot pumps after you've spent the day hiking or setting up camp. You charge it via USB before you leave home (takes 3-4 hours), and you'll get 3-4 full inflations from one charge. The Cyclone valve lets you fine-tune firmness once it's inflated, so if you prefer a slightly softer surface you can let a bit of air out without deflating the whole thing. What sets this apart from cheaper double mats is the elastic knitted fabric surface. It stretches slightly as you move rather than creating that stiff, crinkly feeling you get with basic PVC mats, and it's noticeably quieter when you shift position during the night. The vertical wall construction means you get the full 132cm width as usable sleeping space rather than losing inches to sloped sides - proper double bed dimensions that'll fit two adults comfortably or give a solo camper loads of room. The Dreamlock construction reduces pack size by 20% compared to older Vango models whilst keeping the same sleeping area, so it rolls down to roughly 75cm long by 25cm diameter in its carry bag. At 5.8kg it's not a lightweight backpacking mat, but that's the trade-off for double-width comfort. Works brilliantly in larger family tents, caravan awnings or the back of panel vans where you've got the space and don't fancy the cold gap between two single mats. Vango rates it for three-season use, which covers most UK camping from spring through autumn. FEATURES • Integrated Rechargeable Pump – by integrating our rechargeable pump into the design it makes inflation and deflation far more convenient than before. It takes only 1 minute to inflate and 1 minute to deflate fully ready to be rolled and packed away with ease. • Dreamlock Construction – innovative cutting design which allows the mattress to pack smaller and easier than before. With the new design this allows us to reduce the pack size by 20% from its previous model. • Cyclone Valve - Allowing fast and easy inflation and deflation • Elastic Fabric - Produced using a soft, elastic yarn knitted into a comfortable fabric providing a home-from-home feeling for the best night's sleep • Ultra-Reliable - Produced using precision machined products, high end TPU lamination and strong fabrics ensuring that you won't be let down by your mattress • TPU Lamination Technology - Modern TPU fabric lamination is lighter and more nature-considerate than traditional PVC constructions.
