Fall is on its way along with cooler temperatures that drive outdoor lovers into the wilderness, but not before properly gearing up. Thankfully, there are a ton of great sales on gear ahead of the upcoming camping season. REI is marking down products every day on essentials like camp stoves and lightweight fleece layers while Amazon is posting record discounts on portable power stations . If better sleep is what you're after, Walmart is the place to look, because right now, one of its bestselling sleeping pads is $180 off the normal price.

Xiecuva’s Self-Inflating Single Sleeping Pad is on sale at Walmart for $80—an amazing 69% discount off the retail price of $260. If you've ever camped in a tent, you quickly learn that having a quality sleeping pad to separate your body from the cold, hard ground is essential, and customers rave that this pad is “extremely comfortable“ and “will elevate your tent camping experience to a new level.” It’s only available in a muted green color, but if you need to get a smaller or larger size, four other options are also available at steep discounts, like this Small Single for $66 or a Double for $130.

The key to enjoying car camping or overlanding—at least the hours you spend sleeping—is to make sure you are comfortable. Just bringing a sleeping bag to sleep on a tent floor isn’t going to cut it for most people who sleep on a comfy mattress at home, which is why packing a thick sleeping pad is the best move. This pad boasts a spine-saving 4 inches of high-tech foam, and it can hold up to 800 pounds, so you’ll be sure to feel comfortable and supported while you slumber in the woods. The shell fabric is also designed to be friendly to your skin, so you won’t wake up feeling irritated when you inevitably slide out of your sleeping bag. It uses two valves to regulate the amount of air that goes into it, allowing you to customize the firmness. Open both to self-inflate, then just keep a single vent open when you want to deflate it.

Satisfied campers who have used the pad were happy with how comfortable it was. One commented that it was “as comfortable as my bed,“ while another said that it's “one of the firmest self-inflating mattresses available.“

One shopper who is 6 feet tall and 250 pounds also loved the solidness of the pad. “I required a mattress that would provide me with the necessary support throughout the night and would be effortless to assemble and disassemble in the highlands of Wyoming," they said. "This product did not disappoint!”

Walmart is always a sure bet for some of the best deals on outdoor gear and this sleeping pad is one of the best we’ve seen in a while at nearly 70% off. But at these prices, you better lock up the size you want, because they could sell out.
