The Vango Shangri-La Lux 16 Grande offers proper sleeping comfort with its 16cm thick construction and built-in rechargeable pump that inflates the entire mat in 60 seconds. The integrated pump removes the need for separate inflation devices or manual pumping, and deflation takes the same single minute before you roll it away. This self-inflating sleeping mat uses Dreamlock construction, which reduces pack size by 20% compared to earlier versions while maintaining the full sleeping surface when inflated.

The elastic fabric surface feels genuinely comfortable rather than sticky or clinical like some camping mats. Vango's TPU lamination technology keeps the weight down whilst providing better environmental credentials than traditional PVC constructions. The vertical wall design means you get a proper sleeping area that doesn't taper at the edges, so you won't roll off onto the tent floor during the night. The Cyclone valve works with the pump system for quick air exchange, and the whole thing packs into a carry bag with compression straps and handles.

This sleeping mat suits caravanners, motorhome owners and campers who want proper comfort without spending ages setting up their sleeping arrangements. The rechargeable pump needs charging between trips, so you'll want to remember that before heading off. The mat measures suitable for single sleepers and provides insulation from cold ground in spring and autumn camping. Precision-manufactured components and high-grade TPU lamination mean the seams hold up to repeated inflation cycles, and the mat maintains its shape over multiple seasons of use.

Vango Shangri-La Lux 16 Grande Sleeping Mat Features


  • Integrated Rechargeable Pump – by integrating our rechargeable pump into the design it makes inflation and deflation far more convenient than before. It takes only 1 minute to inflate and 1 minute to deflate fully ready to be rolled and packed away with ease.
  • Dreamlock Construction – innovative cutting design which allows the mattress to pack smaller and easier than before. With the new design this allows us to reduce the pack size by 20% from its previous model.
  • Cyclone Valve - Allowing fast and easy inflation and deflation
  • Elastic Fabric - Produced using a soft, elastic yarn knitted into a comfortable fabric providing a home-from-home feeling for the best night's sleep
  • Ultra-Reliable - Produced using precision machined products, high end TPU lamination and strong fabrics ensuring that you won't be let down by your mattress
  • TPU Lamination Technology - Modern TPU fabric lamination is lighter and more environmentally friendly than traditional PVC constructions. The result is a smaller pack size that's quicker and easier to inflate, deflate and pack away

Frequently Asked Questions


How long does the rechargeable pump battery last on the Shangri-La Lux 16 Grande?
The integrated rechargeable pump provides multiple inflation and deflation cycles on a single charge. The exact number depends on temperature and how long since the battery was charged, but most users get several complete camping trips before needing to recharge. The pump charges via USB connection, which takes a few hours from empty. You should charge it before each camping trip to guarantee full functionality.
What are the packed dimensions of this sleeping mat compared to standard self-inflating mats?
The Dreamlock construction reduces pack size by 20% compared to Vango's previous 16cm models. This makes it more practical for motorhome storage or caravan lockers where space matters. The compression straps on the carry bag help squeeze out remaining air and keep everything compact during transport. Despite the built-in pump adding components, the TPU lamination technology keeps overall weight and size competitive with traditional self-inflating mats.
Can you manually inflate the Shangri-La Lux 16 Grande if the battery runs out?
The Cyclone valve allows manual inflation by mouth if needed, though this takes longer than the one-minute pump cycle. The valve works in both directions, so you can add air manually or let air out without using the pump. This backup option means you won't be stuck with a flat mat if you forget to charge the pump before a trip.
What sleeping bag width works best with the Grande version of this mat?
The Grande width accommodates standard rectangular sleeping bags and most mummy bags without overhang. The vertical wall construction means the sleeping surface stays wide right to the edges rather than tapering like some mats. People who move around during sleep find the extra width prevents rolling onto the tent floor. The mat works inside awnings, drive-away awnings, and tent bedrooms where you want proper sleeping comfort.
How does the elastic fabric compare to standard camping mat surfaces?
The elastic yarn construction creates a softer surface that moves slightly with your body rather than feeling rigid. Standard PVC-coated mats often feel sticky against skin or make noise when you shift position during the night. This elastic fabric reduces both issues whilst maintaining durability for regular use. The material works well in varying temperatures without becoming stiff in cold weather or tacky in warm conditions.
Does the 16cm thickness provide enough insulation for cold weather camping?
The 16cm air gap provides substantial insulation from cold ground during spring and autumn camping. The thickness works well in caravans and motorhomes where you're already protected from extreme weather. For winter wild camping below freezing, you might want additional insulation underneath. The TPU construction maintains its insulating properties better than some materials that compress over time, so the thermal performance stays consistent through multiple seasons.
