The days when your only choice was between a foam roll mat or a leaky airbed and foot pump are long gone. From self-inflating mattresses to lightweight sleeping pads and insulated airbeds, the comfort and portability of sleeping mats have dramatically improved. But with so many types of camping mattresses available, costing from tens to hundreds of pounds, it can be difficult to know where to start.
To save you the sleepless night of an ill-informed choice, I tested 26 and shortlisted the best camping mattresses for various scenarios.

As a keen camper and festival goer, not to mention the parent of two adventurous teens, I've done my fair share of backpacking and car-based camping trips, and had the bruised hips and backache to prove it. Particularly memorable was the night my self-inflating mat punctured while wild camping on Mont Lozère in the south of France, as well as the time we ignored the yellow weather warning at Port Eliot festival in Cornwall, and spent the night reinforcing our collapsing tent as the sleeping area gradually filled with water.
I am also a science journalist and the author of a book on circadian rhythms and sleep, so I recognise the importance of a good night's sleep for physical recovery, brain function and wellbeing.
I assessed each mattress on comfort, durability, packability, and how easy they were to inflate and deflate. Comfort was assessed by placing each mattress on a hard wooden floor on top of several sharp stones, lying on it inside a sleeping bag on my back and side, and rolling between positions for 20 minutes. As a wriggly side sleeper, I was particularly vigilant for any pressure points around my hips or shoulders, or mattresses that were overly narrow or slippery. Points were deducted if I could feel the stones, couldn't comfortably stretch out and for shiny surfaces that caused me to slither off the mattress.
I assessed durability by lightly jumping on each mattress five times (against manufacturers' instructions) in bare feet, and falling on to it from standing – as might happen if you were to stumble into your tent in the middle of the night without a torch. I also gently stabbed and scratched at the surface of each mattress with a pointy stone, and sprayed the underside with water, to see how easily it soaked through. Mattresses were left overnight with two 20kg boxes on them to check for any signs of deflation. Further points were deducted for mattresses that were excessively difficult to pack away after use or needed a large storage space.
I've also included the R value, or thermal resistance, of each mattress. This measures how well it resists heat transfer from your body to the cold ground. A lower R value means less insulation, which is better in warmer weather, but less good for winter camping (see more below, in the What you need to know section).
I tested 26 mattresses in total, and rated them for different camping scenarios, including family camping holidays, summer or winter backpacking expeditions, glamping, festivals and weekends away for two. I also enlisted my back-sleeping husband – a keen winter mountaineer – and comfort-seeking kids, aged 12 and 14, for their perspectives. Below are the best 10 from my experiments.
Mattresses were either returned to the manufacturer or donated to Kitsquad, a scheme that helps low-income people get out into the great outdoors, or the People's Republic of Stokes Croft, which supports people rough sleeping in Bristol.

If you crave the comfort of an air bed but need something compact and lightweight enough to carry in your backpack, Therm-a-Rest's NeoLoft regular wide camping mat could be the answer. With a packed size not much larger than a 1L water bottle, chambers that rise to form subtle side rails when the pad is inflated, and internal insulation, this pad isn't cheap, but it should dramatically boost your chances of a good night's sleep.
Why we love it This mattress merges comfort with packability, making it a practical option for family camping holidays and backpacking alike. It feels soft and warm to lie on; it's wide enough for back or side sleepers; and the side rails gently cradle you while you sleep.
We tested the regular wide single mat, which was fine for sleepers up to 5ft 10, but taller people may prefer the large version, which is 198cm long. We've taken this mattress on several camping trips, and it was so comfortable that my children fought over who got to sleep on it. Lumpy ground is imperceptible through its 11.7cm loft, even when sleeping on your side, and while softly springy, this mattress thankfully lacks the trampoline-like bounce of a conventional airbed.
It's a shame that … while the surface of the mattress is super-soft, it does generate some static if you roll around too much.
Weight: 850gDimensions (packed): 29 x 15cmDimensions (inflated): 185 x 66 x 12cm (LWH)R value: 4.7Self-inflating? NoPump included? Yes, pump sack (a bag that fills with air and connects to the mattress valve to inflate it)
£64.99 at Decathlon
Decathlon is a trusted source of affordable outdoor equipment, and its own-brand Simond sleeping pad doesn't disappoint. Its vertical air-filled chambers easily absorbed large stones and provided a comfortable sleeping surface, and its tiny pack size makes it suitable for campers without a car. It also comes in an XL version for taller and wider sleepers.
Why we love itThis is a comfortable and versatile mattress suitable for most camping scenarios, apart from winter trips, which might require a better-insulated sleeping surface.
As a side sleeper, prone to waking up and rolling over multiple times each night, I also appreciated the silicone patches on the mattress' surface, which helped stop my sleeping bag from sliding off. Though considerably thinner than the Therm-a-Rest, this mattress absorbed lumps and bumps well, and I was unable to feel stones when lying on my side – even when placed directly underneath my hips.
This is a lightweight and easily packable mat, which could fit inside a rucksack during expeditions.
It's a shame that … my younger family members disliked being able to feel the vertical grooves when lying on the mattress without a sleeping bag – although these were far less noticeable once wrapped inside one.
Weight: 670gDimensions (packed): 33 x 12cmDimensions (inflated): 180 x 52 x 5cm (LWH)R value: 3.3Self-inflating? NoPump included? Yes, pump sack
£244.95 at Wildbounds
A night under canvas with your partner might sound romantic, but sharing the wrong mattress can make for an uncomfortable experience, with one partner being bounced awake when the other turns over, or slumped on to the hard rocky floor when their partner goes out to pee (yes, I speak from experience). This inflatable sleeping pad is extremely comfortable, tapered to fit in most two-man tents, insulated enough to see you into the colder months, and packing down small enough to fit into a backpack.
Why we love it I've spent years grumbling about sharing a two-man tent with my husband, because we couldn't find two compatible, comfortable mattresses that would fit. This is the solution. It fitted into the two-man expedition tent that my husband is illogically attached to, despite my grumbles about the lack of storage space, but it also worked well in our family tent, where recently I enjoyed one of my best camping sleeps ever, with no hip or backache the following morning.
Like our other top mattress picks, stones and rough ground were imperceptible through its surface, and I wasn't bounced awake at any point, even when my husband crawled out to make breakfast, while I dozed on.
It's a shame that … it is relatively narrow for a double mattress. This is deliberate, as it's designed to fit inside the average two-person tent, and my husband and I are both relatively slim, so it wasn't a problem for us. However, larger couples, or those looking for more space, may find it a bit cramped. It was also relatively difficult to get the deflated mattress back inside its stuff sack.
Weight: 1.22kgDimensions (packed): 29 x 14cmDimensions (inflated): 198 x 127 x 9cm (LWH) 102cm wide at tapered endR value: 4.8Self-inflating? NoPump included? Yes, pump sack
£195 at AE Leisure
This 12cm-thick self-inflating mattress gradually fills with air when the valves are twisted open. It comes in single and double sizes and is filled with polyester foam. All this makes for a more bed-like feel than the inflatable 'air pads' we tested, and helps to insulate it from the cold ground. Although the mattress is self-inflating, its travel bag doubles as a pump sack to add further inflation and create a firmer sleeping surface, if preferred.
Why we love itIt's very wide and comfortable, and there's minimal motion transfer when two sleepers lie side by side. We tried the double, and I barely noticed when my husband deliberately rolled around and climbed off the mattress.
Any lumps and bumps are absorbed with ease, and stones were imperceptible when placed under it. Weighing 6kg, this mattress is suitable only for car-based camping trips or camper vans, but we would certainly consider packing it for a week-long camping holiday. Its high thermal resistance (R value) would make it usable in winter conditions.
It's a shame that … this mattress is too big for backpacking, and the double mattress takes a bit of effort to pack away: you need to fold it in half lengthways, and lie on its surface to squeeze out enough air to begin the process of rolling it up.
Weight: 6kgDimensions (packed): 65 x 32cmDimensions (inflated): 200 x 128 x 12cm (LWH)R value: 12.9Self-inflating? Yes
Pump included? Yes, pump-sack
£99.99 at Alpkit
This is a lightweight and compact sleeping pad with excellent insulation, making it suitable for all sorts of outdoor adventures – including winter expeditions.
Why we love itWhile there are wider and marginally more comfortable lightweight mats, Alpkit's Radiant provides superb cushioning on rocky ground, and wins extra points for its relatively low price, high thermal resistance, 100% recycled outer fabric and water-resistant surface, which I tested by spraying it with a water bottle and leaving it for 30 minutes to soak in (it didn't).
Its high R value means it should keep you warm in all weather conditions. Weighing only 600g – less than two tins of baked beans – it will easily fit inside a rucksack, making it suitable for summer and winter expeditions alike.
It's a shame that … the surface of the mat is a little shiny and slippery.
Weight: 600gDimensions (packed): 25 x 11cmDimensions (inflated): 194 x 62 x 9cm (LWH)R value: 7.2Self-inflating? NoPump included? Yes, pump sack

£220 at Valley and Peak
Best for: expeditions
This is an excellent lightweight inflatable sleeping mat, particularly when used in combination with Sea to Summit's Aeros pillow (see below), which attaches to its surface using adhesive hook and loop patches. Measuring 64cm across and 10cm thick, the Ether Light XR is wider and slightly more comfortable than the smaller size available (larger sizes are also available). My husband also had no grumbles about warmth when he used it to sleep in a Scottish bothy in March.
It didn't make the final cut because … although this was a worthy contender for best expedition mattress, it was narrowly pipped to the post by Alpkit's Radiant on the grounds of price, eco-credentials and insulation (though it still has a four-season rating).
Weight: 665gDimensions (packed): 24 x 12cmDimensions (inflated): 183 x 64 x 10cm (LWH)R value: 4.1Self-inflating? NoPump included? Yes, pump sack
£214.95 at Wildbounds£224.95 at Valley and Peak
Best for: winter camping
Another great option for winter camping – especially if comfort is a priority. This inflatable sleeping mat is 11cm thick and 63.5cm wide, with slightly raised edges to prevent you rolling off in the night. With tough 70 denier ripstop fabric on the underside, this feels like a robust mat that's built to last. A larger 76 x 198cm version is also available.
It didn't make the final cut because … insulation is similar to Alpkit's Radiant, but with a weight of 907g, it's more than 300g heavier. Although this is unlikely to bother the average camper, serious mountaineers may prefer a lighter, smaller mat.
Weight: 907gDimensions (packed): 20 x 14cmDimensions (inflated): 183 x 64 x 11cmR value: 7Self-inflating? NoPump included? Yes, pump sack
£35.99 at Easy Camp
Best for: family camping on a budget and festivals
This 3.8cm self-inflating mat isn't the most comfortable we tested, and measuring 51cm across, it is quite narrow. Even so, rocks were barely perceptible through its surface, and my back-sleeping husband reported feeling very comfortable on it. A 5cm-thick version is also available, which should provide side sleepers with a little more cushioning. This mat is also considerably cheaper than many of our other top picks, making it a great budget option, particularly for festivals and for kids or smaller adults.
It didn't make the final cut because … adults may find it too narrow for comfort, and side sleepers a little too thin.
Weight: 945g Dimensions (packed): 28 x 16cmDimensions (inflated): 182 x 51 x 4cm (LWH)R value: 3Self-inflating? YesPump included? No, but this is unnecessary
£209.99 at Decathlon£209.99 at Mountain Warehouse
Best for: luxury glamping
This behemoth of a self-inflating mat is 20cm thick and more comfortable than many regular mattresses, let alone camping ones. But this luxury comes at a cost: bulk. Taking up more storage space than our family tent, and weighing 5.6kg, the Shangri-La II would only be suitable for those with large cars or camper vans, and even they may need to sacrifice other equipment to fit it in. But for campers who prize soft, squishy comfort above all else, this mattress is hard to beat.
It didn't make the final cut because … it is too bulky for most camping scenarios.
Weight: 5.6kg
Dimensions (packed): 80 x 32cm
Dimensions (inflated): 200 x 76 x 20cm (LWH)R value: 14Self-inflating? YesPump included? No, but this is unnecessary
£119.99 at Outwell
Best for: family camping
If you like the bouncy loft of an airbed but find them unpleasantly cold and clammy to sleep on, this insulated version is a great alternative. Although the Therm-a-Rest NeoLoft is lighter and considerably more portable, the Dreamscape is cheaper and would be fine for car-based camping trips from spring to autumn. It does require a foot-pump or a large pair of lungs to inflate it, though.
It didn't make the final cut because … it isn't as portable as some of our top picks. Weight: 1.7kgDimensions (packed): 39 x 17cmDimensions (inflated): 205 x 77 x 12cm (LWH)R value: 3.8Self-inflating? NoPump included? No
While many people sling their regular pillow into the car as a token luxury on camping trips, this doesn't work if you're backpacking, when a lumpy pile of clothes is the make-do option. The necessity of packing pillows is also a frequent flashpoint for arguments when packing for family camping trips (believe me, I know).
Thankfully, there are now inflatable pillows that are small enough to fit in your pocket, and compressible foam or microfibre pillows that take up far less space than a regular pillow. I tested eight camping pillows and would highly recommend Sea to Summit's Aeros Ultralight pillow (£25 at Decathlon) for a super-packable inflatable pillow or Vango's Deep Sleep Memory Pillow (£31.99 at Amazon) for a supremely comfortable alternative, provided you have more space.
From glamping to Alpine mountaineering, there are different types of camping trip, and different mattresses will suit some better than others.
Airbeds are large, inflatable mattresses, often high and bouncy, inflated with a foot- or electric-powered pump (some even have one built in). Although they're very comfy, they're poorly insulated, can feel cold and clammy to lie on, and tend to be susceptible to punctures. They're also relatively heavy and bulky, making them unsuitable for backpacking, while those sharing a double airbed may be bounced awake by restless partners.
Sleeping pads are ultralight inflatable mattresses designed for backpacking and mountaineering. Although they're thinner and less bouncy than air beds, they're extremely comfortable and often incorporate insulating materials, making them suitable for camping in colder conditions, including winter when it comes to high-spec versions. Most also come with air sacks to aid inflation (see below) and puncture repair kits.
Closed-cell foam roll mats aren't particularly comfortable, but virtually indestructible. They're designed to provide a basic layer of padding, waterproofing and insulation between you and the ground. Being made from foam, they also tend to retain body heat well. Because of these properties, some backpackers choose to combine them with a basic air pad. They are usually secured to the outside of a backpack with elasticated straps.
Self-inflating mattresses consist of an open-cell foam core inside an air-tight fabric shell, with a valve that allows in air to inflate the mattress when it's opened – although they often require a top-up of air from your lungs to make them firmer. Comfort ranges from moderate to high, depending on the thickness of the mattress, and the foam core tends to provide good insulation. However, they're heavier and bulkier than air pads, and still susceptible to punctures. They're deflated by opening back up the valve, and squeezing out the air, rolling as you go, and then closing the valve.
The lifespan of a camping mattress depends on its type, quality and how well it's cared for, but closed-cell foam mattresses tend to be the most durable, and air beds the least so. Both self-inflating mats and air pads can also suffer from punctures and valve or seam failures, but self-inflating mattresses are often constructed from thicker fabrics and are less likely to fully deflate if punctured.
To extend the life of your camping mattress, you could consider using a groundsheet to reduce the risk of punctures from sharp rocks, sticks and rough terrain, and avoid leaving inflatable mattresses in the sun. Care should also be taken not to over-inflate air mattresses, while foam or self-inflating mats should ideally be stored unrolled, with inflation valves left open to maintain the loft and integrity of the foam.
It depends on the mattress, but air beds tend to require a foot- or electric pump, while air pads are inflated by mouth, or using a 'pump-sack' – a lightweight, air-filled bag, that helps to keep moisture out of the pad (also important for longevity) and is more efficient than inflating by mouth.
The R value of a camping mattress measures how well it resists heat transfer from your body to the cold ground. A lower R value means less insulation, which is better in warmer weather, but less good for winter camping. Foam-based mattresses tend to have the highest R values, but some air pads incorporate other insulating materials, making them suitable for winter camping expeditions. As a general rule of thumb, R values of 1 to 2 tend to be sufficient for summer camping; R values of 2 to 4.5 are suitable for spring through to autumn, while for winter camping or other cold climates, you'll need an R value of 4 to 5 or higher.

How to get two theme park visits for the price of one this summer
The cost of summer holiday activities can quickly add up, which is why we're always on the hunt for cost-effective ways to have fun. Case in point: if you're looking for a cheap family day out this summer, we've found a deal that will save on theme park visits. Until Sunday 17 August, when you book a ticket for Alton Towers, Chessington, Legoland Windsor or Thorpe Park, you'll get a ticket for a second visit for free. This doesn't mean visiting the same theme park twice, as it can be used at any of the four parks. In order to qualify, you'll need to pre-book a 'twice the fun' ticket to get your hands on the freebie. You'll then receive a confirmation email with a barcode, which you can use to make your second booking, so keep this handy. The second ticket is valid until Tuesday, 30 September, so there is plenty of time to squeeze in a second visit. It is rare for a free ticket offer to come along, particularly during peak season. Advanced tickets to the theme parks typically start from around £34, so if you're visiting as a family, that's a chunky saving for your second visit. You can book your visit using the links below, or keep reading if you want more inspiration on which of the theme parks to visit this summer. Alton Towers If you've got little thrill-seekers to entertain this summer, Alton Towers is worth a visit. There are nine roller coasters to enjoy, including the Toxicator, which is new for 2025, while younger kids can head to the rides and attractions in CBeebies Land. Alton Towers is located outside of Stoke-on-Trent, so if you're based in the north of England, this is likely to be your nearest major theme park. Chessington World of Adventures There are plenty of adventures for kids of all ages to enjoy at Chessington, with rides inspired by the fantasy board game Jumanji, the tales of the Gruffalo and more. Your ticket also includes a visit to the park's zoo and aquarium, with the chance to see penguins, giraffes, monkeys and zebras. The park is based just outside of London, and there are regular train services running from the capital to Chessington South, which is around a 10-minute walk away. Legoland Windsor There are more than 50 rides and attractions to enjoy at Legoland Windsor. Kids can cool off on a hot day in the splash safari water play park, hop aboard the Lego submarine as part of the deep-sea adventure, get behind the wheel at the Lego driving school and lots more. The theme park is two miles outside of Windsor town centre, with shuttle services available from nearby train stations. Thorpe Park If you or your youngsters can't get enough of roller coasters, a visit to Thorpe Park is a must. The theme park is home to Hyperia, the UK's tallest and fastest rollercoaster, plus five other rides for those that want an adrenaline-filled day out. There are also plenty of rides and play areas for little ones, so the whole family can enjoy the day. The theme park is located in Chertsey, which is about 30 minutes outside of London, with shuttle buses running to the park from nearby train stations.

Having one common drink on holiday could make you sick, expert warns
Ahead of the fast-approaching summer holidays, travel experts have warned that a popular beverage loved by Brits could lead to a slew of nasty side-effects including bloating, cramps and nausea Brits have been warned about one popular beverage that could make them ill when abroad - and it's not tap water. With the summer holidays just around the corner, swathes of UK households will be packing their bags for a week or two in the sun. Despite the cost-of-living crisis continuing to hit cash-strapped Brits hard, research from found that more than half (55 per cent) of us are planning an overseas holiday this year. If you have children that are still in school, you'll have little choice but to jet off during the summer months - despite travel agents ramping up their prices. The upside to this is that you're almost guaranteed constant sunshine and scorching temperatures. But, whether you're flocking to the party-mad hotspot of Benidorm - or the tropical delights of Thailand - falling ill can completely ruin your holiday. While most Brits are extra cautious about tap water or ice when abroad, many don't think twice about consuming milk. In a statement sent to the Mirror, Jessie Chambers from Global Work & Travel warns that unlike the fresh dairy milk that is abundant in the UK, many popular tourist destinations use UHT (Ultra-High Temperature) milk instead. This beverage is made by processing milk at 135C for several seconds, killing bacteria but also altering the milk's structure. It's designed to give the quickly-expiring product a long shelf life that can survive in hot climates. But adding it to your tea or coffee could lead to some nasty side-effects. "We get so many travellers saying they felt 'off' after a coffee or hotel breakfast, assuming it was the food," the travel expert said. "But in reality, they've just had a strong dose of UHT milk, which can trigger digestive issues, especially if you've got a sensitive stomach." While many Brits will be absolutely fine with drinking UHT milk, especially in such small quantities, Global Work & Travel says it could lead to symptoms such as bloating, cramps and nausea if you have IBS or gut sensitivities. Often, this is mistaken for food poisoning. Jessie therefore advises Brits to ask hotel or restaurant staff whether they have fresh milk, or only use UHT. If you're staying in self-catering accommodation, it's worth looking for labels such as 'UHT' or 'Ultra-Heat Treated' when picking up a bottle of milk from the supermarket. Even if it is stored in the fridge, you still might be accidentally picking up UHT milk instead of its fresh counterpart. If you're extremely sensitive to lactose or have a dodgy stomach, it could be worth skipping the milk altogether. The pro also warns against drinking unlabelled or room-temperature milk unless you're sure it's safe and pasteurised. "A strange-tasting brew might not be bad beans – it could just be shelf-stable milk messing with your gut," Jessie added. "Know what you're drinking – especially in hot climates where milk storage works differently to the UK."

Georgia Toffolo's husband James Watt forced to deny claims she is pregnant as she shares a post promising 'major news' on romantic getaway
Georgia Toffolo 's husband James Watt has hit back at speculation she is expecting her first child after sharing a post teasing 'major news' on Instagram. The couple are currently away on holiday in Iceland and Georgia shared a selection of snaps from the romantic getaway, which included a salmon fishing trip. Underneath the gallery of images, one person commented: 'Are you pregnant?', to which Georgia's husband retorted: 'I don't think she is'. Several people commented underneath the exchange that it was inappropriate for anyone to ask the former Made In Chelsea star such a personal question. Georgia's 'major news' was actually that she had finally caught her first Atlantic salmon, which she revealed she had already tried many times in three countries. She sweetly captioned the photos: 'Making memories with my forever person'. Georgia and James looked as loved-up as ever in the snaps, as they gave an insight into their getaway which included picturesque walks and fishing. The former I'm A Celeb star looked typically chic, even in her fishing gear, which included a jumper and waterproof dungarees. Another look saw her sport a striped top underneath a cream knit sleeveless jumper, accessorising with a burnt orange head scarf and shades. The couple were also joined by two black Labradors. Georgia and James said 'I do' on a fishing boat earlier this year. However, they ditched their fishing attire for much more glamorous ensembles for their church service. The reality star looked out of this world in a strapless corset dress and flowing veil, while James opted for a classic navy suit. The couple settled their pre-wedding nerves with a slice of jam on toast and a cup of tea in James' granny's kitchen. She sweetly captioned the photos: 'Making memories with my forever person' She captioned her post: 'So relaxed and happy. Pictures taken at James' Granny's house just before the church yesterday. We really did it our way!' Sharing snaps of their special and unique day, Georgia revealed she travelled to the church in a transit van and held some daffodils freshly picked last minute in the morning. The bride almost suffered a fall as she slipped over the bottom of her dress while walking to the same church James' grandparents married in. James wrote on his Instagram: 'Georgia and I got married today. 'Some key details: 1st March 2025 57.6722° N, 2.3372° W (Gardenstown, Northeast Scotland) 6°C, 17-knot winds (because Scottish weather never disappoints) Spaniel ring bearer 'Guests - whoever could get there with 24 hours notice, Scottish honeymoon incoming 'Married in the same church my grandparents were married in' The pair got engaged in October after the millionaire proposed with an exquisite eight carat triple-diamond studded band estimated to be worth £200,000 during a romantic getaway in Greece for Georgia's 30th birthday. And after the BrewDog founder previously insisted that the pair would be tying the knot this year, it appears that the couple were true to their word - though guests only had 48 hours notice to attend. Georgia looked stunning for her big day, slipping into a cream, fleece off-the-shoulder dress - perfect for keeping her warm in the chilly Scottish weather. The I'm A Celebrity star styled her blonde locks into an elegant up do' and added dainty diamond earrings and a flowing white veil to her bridal look. Perhaps not very bridal were the chunky brown boots she donned with the outfit, though this may have been for health and safety reasons amid their photoshoot on the boat. Meanwhile, James himself rocked an unconventional wedding outfit, donning a cream beanie hat and a thick cream jumper worn beneath blue fishing overalls. The couple certainly appeared to get in the spirit of things, with Georgia and James pulling different expressions as they got to grips with some lobsters. Georgia's post was greeted with a plethora of delightful comments from her fans and celebrity pals, who were equally shocked and overjoyed at her big news. After sharing her images to social media, Georgia shared a video to her Instagram stories shortly after walking down the aisle, excitedly remarking: 'We just got married!' Georgia, who was sat in a car next to James - who at this point was clad in a smart, dark suit - said to the camera: 'It was so unchoreographed! We just came out the church and were like "wait, where do we go now?" So we just sat in the car!
