The Vango Shangri-La Lux 12 Grande sleeping mat brings proper comfort to your camping setup with its 12cm thick construction and built-in rechargeable pump. You'll have it inflated in about 60 seconds, which means less time messing around with foot pumps or manual inflation when you arrive at your pitch. The vertical wall design creates a genuine sleeping surface rather than the rounded edges you get with many camping mats, giving you more usable space without increasing the packed dimensions. Couples and side sleepers particularly appreciate the Grande width, whilst the elastic fabric surface feels surprisingly similar to your mattress at home.

Vango's Dreamlock construction makes this mat pack down 20% smaller than the previous model, fitting more easily into your motorhome storage locker or caravan boot space. The TPU lamination technology keeps the weight down compared to older PVC designs, and the Cyclone valve works in tandem with the integrated pump for quick deflation when you're packing up. The precision-machined components and high-grade materials mean you're not dealing with slow leaks or valve failures on weekend trips. You can recharge the pump via USB between uses, which takes roughly 3-4 hours for a full charge.

This mat suits anyone wanting hotel-level sleeping comfort whilst camping, from festival-goers to caravan owners looking for extra guest accommodation. The 12cm thickness provides enough cushioning for side sleepers and those with back problems, whilst the elastic knitted fabric stays comfortable in both warm and cool conditions. The handy compression strap and sturdy handles on the carry bag make it easy to pack up and move around. The spacious Grande size offers generous comfort and room to relax — just make sure your tent or awning has enough floor space to enjoy it to the fullest.

Frequently Asked Questions


How long does the rechargeable pump battery last on a full charge?
A fully charged battery will inflate and deflate the Shangri-La Lux 12 Grande approximately 8-10 times before needing a recharge. This covers several camping trips for most users. The pump recharges via USB cable in around 3-4 hours, so you can top it up between weekend trips using a standard phone charger or powerbank.
What are the packed dimensions of the Shangri-La Lux 12 Grande?
The mat rolls down to approximately 70cm length with a diameter of around 25cm when fully compressed in its carry bag. The Dreamlock construction reduces this by 20% compared to the previous Shangri-La model, making it easier to store in caravan lockers or motorhome storage compartments. The Grande width does mean it's bulkier than single mats, so check your storage space before buying.
Can you manually inflate this mat if the pump battery runs flat?
Yes, the Cyclone valve accepts manual inflation if the rechargeable pump runs out of charge. You can blow into the valve directly or attach a compatible manual pump. Manual inflation takes around 3-5 minutes depending on your lung capacity. The valve system works both ways, so you won't be stuck with a flat mat if you forget to recharge the pump between trips.
What's the actual sleeping area width on the Grande model?
The Shangri-La Lux 12 Grande provides approximately 130-140cm of sleeping width, which comfortably fits two adults or one person who moves around during sleep. The vertical wall construction means you get the full width as usable sleeping space, rather than losing several centimetres to rounded edges like traditional camping mats. Side sleepers and couples find this width works well for weekend camping.
Is the Shangri-La Lux 12 Grande suitable for cold weather camping?
The 12cm air thickness provides good insulation from cold ground, though Vango hasn't published an R-value for this mat. The TPU construction performs better than PVC in cold conditions as it stays more flexible. For camping below 5°C you'll want to add a thermal blanket or closed-cell foam mat underneath for extra insulation. The elastic fabric surface remains comfortable in temperatures from around 0°C to 25°C.
How do you repair a puncture in the Shangri-La Lux 12 Grande?
The TPU lamination accepts standard TPU repair patches, which you can buy from outdoor retailers or Vango directly. Clean the punctured area with isopropyl alcohol, apply the patch following the manufacturer's instructions, and leave it to cure for 24 hours before re-inflating. Small punctures under 5mm seal reliably with patches. Keep a repair kit in your camping gear as TPU patches don't work on PVC mats and vice versa.
Does the mat come with a repair kit and pump charging cable?
Vango includes a USB charging cable for the rechargeable pump with the Shangri-La Lux 12 Grande. A repair kit may be included depending on production batches, but it's worth buying a dedicated TPU repair kit separately to keep in your camping equipment. The USB cable works with standard phone chargers, laptop USB ports, or camping powerbanks rated at 5V/1A or higher.
