What we thought
The new Outwell Centuple sleep system makes use of the sturdy Outwell Posadas camp mattress because it’s base. On prime of that there’s a canopy with half an inch or so of froth padding on prime and beneath every nook there’s an elastic strap which lets you safe the highest cowl to the body of the camp mattress.
Folding out the camp mattress is a really quick course of, taking only a few seconds
The Outwell Centuple camp mattress all arrange with the padded cowl in place
I’ve at all times used both a single folding aluminium camp mattress or an inflatable air mattress to sleep on up to now, however discovered after my snowboarding accident {that a} camp mattress on it’s personal didn’t present me with wherever close to sufficient padding to sleep comfortably, so I finished utilizing one and altered to an air mattress.
The draw back of air mattresses I’ve discovered is that the double top ones a minimum of, are significantly chilly to sleep on they usually all lose air in a single day, an issue that solely will get worse over time, so I find yourself having to interchange them each few months. Although they don’t go away me stiff and aching within the morning they’re nonetheless removed from superb.
Thanks to the addition of the padded prime cowl, I discovered the Centuple to be extraordinarily comfy – that further padding makes an actual distinction. I want facet sleeping, so on our most up-to-date Easter tenting journey we added the Outwell Dreamboat SIM on prime (which is totally sensible and I’ll be reviewing it individually quickly). The further SIM was simply secured in place below the padded cowl of the Centuple, which made for an much more luxurious and extremely comfy sleep.
Padded pillows
One of the options that tends to set Outwell merchandise apart isn’t solely their high quality, however how effectively engineered they’re. My outdated camp mattress wanted to be folded out, the canvas base pulled taut to both finish, after which two finish bars slotted into place; usually an ungainly manoeuvre. In comparability the Centuple, regardless of it’s measurement was extraordinarily quick and simple to place up. When faraway from the carry bag it merely concertinas out in a single piece, et voila, the mattress is up and also you want do nothing else besides safe the padded prime cowl in place.
It’s price mentioning that the padded prime cowl is fairly large, and it doesn’t compress down a lot, although there are two compression straps included within the bag with it. The 12 Tog King measurement cover we used to take tenting with us takes up across the similar quantity of area because the padded prime cowl.
Why it’s best to think about the Centuple
- Excellent high quality
- Nice and steady to take a seat and lie on
- Very quick to place up and take down
- Much hotter to sleep on than an air mattress
- Comfortable sufficient for facet sleepers
- Makes a fantastic visitor mattress

Final ideas
At an RRP of £199 this isn’t a small buy by any means, and one I’m positive that for many would require cautious consideration. Putting it into perspective, the sum of money I’ve spent on camp beds and varied completely different air mattresses within the final 5 years only for myself nevertheless, simply exceeds the acquisition price of the Centuple.
If you are attempting to justify this mattress, then due to it’s high quality, I feel the ‘buy once, buy well’ ethos ought to issue into your choice making. Without a long run take a look at I can’t inform you it’ll final for the remainder of your tenting life, however high quality sensible, I’m sure it would present a few years of service.
I do know we’ll definitely get numerous use out of ours and I’ve no hesitation in extremely recommending the Outwell Centuple. It’s additionally very nice to lastly be sleeping collectively once more as an alternative of on separate single beds for as soon as!
