  Product Description
The Vango Shangri-La Lux 12 Double Sleeping Mat brings proper bed-like comfort to your campsite with its generous 12cm thickness and double-width sleeping surface. Built around an integrated rechargeable pump, it inflates from flat to ready in 60 seconds and deflates just as quickly when you're packing up. The pump charges via USB before your trip, so there's no messing about with separate battery packs or manual pumping after a long day outdoors. Vango's Dreamlock construction uses a clever cutting pattern that reduces pack size by 20% compared to previous models whilst maintaining the same sleeping dimensions. The vertical wall design means you get more usable sleeping width without the mat taking up extra space in your vehicle.

The elastic knitted fabric feels noticeably softer than standard camping mat materials and stretches slightly to move with you during the night rather than creating that stiff, crunchy surface you get with basic PVC mats. TPU lamination keeps the weight down and proves more resistant to temperature changes than older PVC construction methods. Couples and families camping in larger tents, caravan awnings or even the back of panel vans use this double mat format because it eliminates the gap and cold spot you get when two single mats sit side by side. The 12cm depth provides proper cushioning for side sleepers and anyone who needs extra padding between them and hard ground. Vango rates this mat for three-season use from spring through autumn.

The Cyclone valve works independently of the pump for fine-tuning firmness once inflated, so you can let out a bit of air if you prefer a softer surface. Precision-welded seams and high-grade TPU lamination handle the repeated inflation cycles that come with regular camping trips. The included carry bag makes transport simple with sturdy handles and handy compression straps for a neat, space-saving pack. For long-term storage, a light compression helps keep the seams in great condition. The rechargeable pump fully charges in just 3–4 hours and inflates or deflates the mat in around a minute—perfect for effortless setup and pack-up. The spacious Double size offers generous comfort, so it’s best to check your tent dimensions to ensure the ideal fit.

Frequently Asked Questions


How long does the rechargeable pump battery last on a full charge?
A fully charged battery typically provides 3-4 complete inflation cycles of the Shangri-La Lux 12 Double before needing a recharge. The pump charges via standard USB connection, taking approximately 2-3 hours to reach full capacity. Most campers charge it at home before their trip or top it up using a power bank, car USB port or campsite electric hook-up between uses.
What are the packed dimensions and will it fit in a standard roof box?
When rolled and secured in its carry bag, the Shangri-La Lux 12 Double measures approximately 75cm long by 25cm diameter. The Dreamlock construction reduces this by 20% compared to older Vango double mat designs. This size fits comfortably in most roof boxes, large car boots and motorhome storage lockers. The compression straps on the carry bag help minimise the packed size, though you shouldn't over-tighten them during long-term storage.
Can I use the mat if the rechargeable pump stops working?
Yes, the Cyclone valve allows manual inflation using your breath or a separate manual pump if the integrated rechargeable pump fails. Whilst blowing up a 12cm double mat manually takes considerably longer than the 60-second powered inflation, the valve design accepts standard pump attachments. The mat remains fully functional without the electric pump, though you lose the main convenience feature.
What's the actual sleeping surface dimensions of this double mat?
The Vango Shangri-La Lux 12 Double provides a sleeping surface of approximately 200cm length by 135cm width when fully inflated. The vertical wall construction means you get usable width right to the edges rather than losing space to sloped sides. This width comfortably accommodates two adults or provides plenty of room for a single person who moves around during sleep. The 12cm thickness remains consistent across the entire surface.
Is the elastic fabric surface noisy when you move during the night?
The elastic knitted fabric on the Shangri-La Lux 12 Double produces significantly less noise than traditional PVC or coated polyester camping mat surfaces. The soft, stretchy material flexes with body movement rather than crinkling. Most users find it quieter than standard self-inflating mats, making it suitable for light sleepers who get disturbed by rustling sounds. The TPU lamination underneath creates minimal noise compared to older PVC constructions.
What temperature rating does this sleeping mat have?
Vango rates the Shangri-La Lux 12 Double for three-season camping from spring through autumn in UK conditions. The 12cm air thickness provides good insulation from cold ground during mild weather, though it's not specifically designed for winter camping on frozen ground. For late autumn or early spring trips when temperatures drop near freezing, consider adding a foam mat underneath or using a warmer sleeping bag rated for lower temperatures. The TPU construction handles temperature variations better than PVC alternatives.
How do I clean the mat if it gets muddy or dirty?
Wipe the Shangri-La Lux 12 Double with a damp cloth and mild soap solution when it needs cleaning. The elastic fabric surface and TPU lamination both tolerate gentle cleaning without damage. Allow it to dry completely whilst partially inflated before packing away to prevent mould growth. Avoid using harsh detergents, bleach or abrasive scrubbers that might damage the fabric coating. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush with warm soapy water works well. Never put the mat in a washing machine or tumble dryer.
Will this mat fit inside a Vango tent or do I need to check dimensions?
At 135cm width, this double mat fits comfortably in most Vango family tents rated for 4 people or more, including the Odyssey, Tahiti and Capri ranges. Check your specific tent's sleeping area width before buying, as some tunnel tents and smaller models have tapered ends that won't accommodate the full mat width. The 200cm length suits standard tent sleeping areas. For motorhome or caravan awning use, measure your available floor space as layouts vary considerably between different models and manufacturers.
