I'll start off by saying this thing is pretty big, but that is to be expected with this comfortable of a camping pad. After purchasing the Stoic Groundwork Double Sleeping Bag, I needed to find a double pad that would work. I must say that they pair together beautifully and my car camping set up is beyond dialed. If you want at-home comfort anywhere you go, this pad is the way to go!

I'd also highly recommend checking out the Groundwork Double Sleeping Bag if you are in the market for a double bag:

I originally planned on getting a nearly identical (except for color and brand) pad at double the price for my rooftop tent, but after seeing the positive reviews and great deal on the Stoic Double Cloud I had to give it a shot. After inflating to the perfect level, I found it even more comfortable than my latex or memory foam mattresses. The 4 inch thickness is just enough to keep me from feeling the ground in any position while the stretchy top material, foam, and air pressure provide the perfect support and contouring. It also seems pretty durable so I'm not concerned about my husky poking a hole in it with her nails.

Just unboxed this. Seems like it will be warm and comfy. Plenty big for my 6'1" frame plus another person of similar size. The cheapo mini USB pump I got online works ok with it, using the rubber part inside the valve. One inflation valve and one deflation valve, both with one way valves. I am concerned that the material right around the valve will wear more quickly, but time will tell, and I'll baby that part. The bottom material is a little more durable. Don't think slipping off will be an issue. The stuff sack included is big enough! But I wish it were a bit thicker to protect from punctures during loading and travel. Overall, a good buy so far.

Easy to set up and pack down. It was like sleeping on my mattress at home and I'm a side sleeper.

Haven't really put this to the test yet, but inflated in the living room. The car camping game was just improved by a huge margin. Material feels durable so I'm feeling confident going out on the rocks in southern Utah later this winter or early spring. Once tested in the field,I will update my review, but I am not anticipating any issues with this.

I've been dreaming of adding a double bag and pad to my car camping setup since we had a kid two years ago and this Stoic setup was the perfect addition to our family camp kit. I coupled this with Stoic's double sleeping bag, and it's basically an airbed, it's so dang comfortable. Like mentioned in another review--it's BIG so it does take up a lot of space in the car / roofbox while driving, but that is a worthy tradeoff in my mind for a good night sleep car camping. It lasts for multiple nights of camping, it the perfect size for two adults, plus a toddler when she wants to get out of her pack n play in the middle of the night and party, and even a dog.

When I saw Stoic release the double cloud camp bed I was instantly interested. I had been looking for a mattress for two that wasn't going to deflate after one use. This mattress is so easy to use with amazing comfort. The foam core provides plenty of support with similar comfort levels as my memory foam mattress.
Special thanks to my Gearhead Laurel for taking such good care of me.

The Stoic Double Cloud Camp Bed is aptly named! Definitely felt like a perfect little cloud underneath us. While I wouldn't attempt to take it backpacking, it's truly a game-changer for car camping. We rolled this baby out in the tent and let it self-inflate... it did a decent job, but we did need to blow it up just a tiny bit more to reach next-level comfort. It's just a hair narrower than a queen size bed, and was plenty of room for two average sized adults. It was easy to deflate and actually fits back in the stuff sack that it comes with! Pair this bed with the Stoic Groundwork Double Sleeping bag, and you are set for a cozy night's sleep. We mostly car camp in California and this set is absolute perfection.

If you're looking for a comfortable, warm, double sleeping pad for car camping, look no further! This pad is super thick and plushy, is fairly easy to set up and put away, protects from ANYTHING on the ground, and doesn't move you around when your partner moves! It has an easy to use self inflating function, but you will likely need to blow into it to get it fully inflated. Deflating is as easy as flipping the valve around, rolling the pad up, and putting it in the included stuff sack!


My only complaint (and this is completely understandable due to the thickness and comfort) is the size of the pad when it's rolled up. This thing is BIG, and weighs 10lbs. It's sort of unwieldy to lug around, and takes up a lot of space, but if you aren't hurting for space in your car, I'd recommend it every time!
