Therm-a-Rest Mondo King XXL: Best Camping Mattress for the Night Lights Music Festival
Heading to the Southern Tier for the Night Lights Music Festival this weekend? Consider investing in a Therm-a-Rest Mondo King XXL mattress. It's ideal for tent-camping. To fully enjoy the performances by more than 20 bands, including national favorite Beats Antique and local favorites, Funktional Flow, Aqueous, and Aircraft, you need a good night's sleep. The Therm-a-Rest Mondo King XXL will set you back just $209.95.
If you're not able to make the Night Lights Music Festival, how about bringing the Mondo King XXL with you to Angola State Park, Letchworth State Park, or Zoar Valley? It may even convince your girlfriend who insists on hotels-only travel to camp with you...
The MK XXL offers the luxury we all strive for within the New Economy--less stress and technology, more sleep, rest, and nature. This isn’t hippie idealism: the Rockefeller-pioneered Caneel Bay Resort in St. John in the Virgin Islands does not have televisions or telephones in its suites; if America’s elite have any wisdom at all to offer, it is how to enjoy one’s existence. Less is more. This 2-valve, self-inflating, electricity-free sleeping pad arrives at the right time in our search for a better lifestyle.
The 6 lb 80”L X 30”W X 4”D mattress accommodates my tall 6’2” frame comfortably, and is a dramatic improvement over their lightweight, packable Trail Lite line, which has a 2 lb 77"L X 25"W X 1.5"D pad which will satisfy Ultra Light backpackers, but didn’t support my spine and left my back feeling achy in the morning. The MK XXL is lofty and cushioned enough to give even large/tall campers a good night’s sleep.
I originally acquired the MK XXL to use while camping. However, it quickly became my daily bed when the lack of AC forced me to sleep in my home office, which has a window-mounted AC unit. The mattress is very versatile. Use it in a tent or in an RV, as a bed in a guest room, or for couch surfing. If you want a place to rest your head in the great outdoors, look no further.
Hope to see you at Night Lights!
