Air Pumps for Camp and Outdoor Use
Inflating a sleeping mat or camp mattress by mouth is slow, tiring and can introduce moisture into your mat's foam core. A dedicated pump solves this quickly and does a better job. Dwights stocks a range of air pumps suited to different camping and outdoor inflation needs.
Lightweight hand pumps and foot pumps are the most popular choice for trampers and campers who need to inflate sleeping mats, pillows and small inflatables without access to power. Many mat brands now include a compatible pump sack that also doubles as a stuff sack — a convenient combo for weight-conscious trampers. Electric pumps are better suited to larger inflatables like kayaks, stand-up paddleboards and large air mattresses where manual inflation would take too long.
Check the valve compatibility of your mat or inflatable before choosing a pump. Most sleeping mats use a proprietary valve, so it's worth checking that the pump you buy includes an adapter or is specifically compatible with your mat brand.
