Coleman Silver Springs Self-Inflating Camping Pad review

Coleman's Silver Springs is the cheapest self-inflating pad on this list and a sensible first pad for families and occasional campers. It is 72 by 20 inches with 3 inches of foam, which is thicker than the Sea to Summit Camp Plus and the 2.5-inch Big Agnes Hinman. Coleman rates the insulating foam at R-value 5+ and says the valve lets the pad inflate in seconds. The shell is 75 denier polyester with a PVC coating that Coleman says resists abrasion, and the pad weighs under 4 pounds. The limits are size and detail: at 20 inches wide and 72 inches long it is narrow and short for many adults, so it suits kids, teens and smaller campers best. Coleman does not publish a packed size or the method behind its R-value, so warmth figures are harder to compare than Sea to Summit's ASTM numbers. At $69.99 it costs $29.01 less than the Sea to Summit Camp Plus.
