    Photos Great Air Matress for Bike Camping

    Though I posted this but I guess not. Bought and tested this air mattress. Comfy in any position and inflates with 20 breathes. It costs $60 but is worth every penny. And folds up small enough to fit in your hand. I'm 64 and it works for this aging body.
