Lightweight Inflatable Sleeping Pad - Compact Camping Mat for Sleeping - Best Air Camping Mattress Pad for Backpacking, Camping, Hiking (Grey)

Been using a thermarest closed cell sleeping pad system for 20+ years. Thought I would try something new and do some comparisons.Price - at $40 this is expensive for a basic sleeping pad. Try to catch this on sale. There are no fancy features you are paying a premium price for.Quality - no defects were found on a visual inspectionComfort - once inflated and adjusted this was very comfortable. I am 5'8" and this easily fit me with room to spare. As with air pads of this type the air shifts around and adjusts itself when you move. The cell design is good and allows good airflow beneath.Ease of use - it inflates easily by blowing in it. Most people should be able to get this done in under 5 mins. You can also use an air pump but is unnecessary. It folds and rolls back up easily and stores right back in the stuff sack ....no fuss there. This is a very compact solution. It is less than 1/4 the size of my old thermarest.Conclusion - it is nice, it works as intended. I would take and use this on an overnight trip

PROS: Very comfortable when fully inflated. Really lightweight. Packs down small. Not noisy. Protects well from little rocks and stones on the ground. Seems durable. I used it also to sit on the ground outside the tent and it kept me warmer and more comfortable and I wasn't afraid of it tearing.CONS: I could still feel the cold from the ground at night. But my partner couldn't. (I'm sensitive to cold.) I'd wanted a pad with an R value of 3+, but this was the closest I found at 2.4. Nights were something like 40 degrees F, and I had to put a towel on top of the pad, below my sleeping bag, to get comfortable sleep. Again, this is 2.4 R value, and my bag wasn't the best, so there were some issues with my sleep system overall.It blows up quickly with the lungs, but wish it came with a pumpsack. I've heard a lot about this type of pad's potential for mildew and would like to avoid that completely. Tried to handmake a pumpsack, but couldn't get something to work with the valve. Not sure if it works with a standard pumpsack.All in all, for the price it's a pretty good little pad and I like it very much, just had a few issues for my own situation.

I bought this pad to use backpacking and chose it for it's light weight, packability, and great price and it checked all those boxes wonderfully. I am a side sleeper and found the pad to be comfortable when tested on a concrete floor. I will say that while getting into your sleeping bag, if you put most of your weight on one knee, the pad can not support it and you will go straight through to the ground underneath. That being said, when laying on the pad your body weight is distributed well and there is no touching of the ground. The bubble like air pockets can feel a little weird at first but all in all this is a lightweight, comfortable sleeping pad without the high costs of some of the more popular sleeping pads such as Thermarest and with a better R value than a lot of the cheap pads on Amazon that are basically pool floaties.

Surprised at comfort, inflated in a minute or two without pump.Update 01/17/2021: after only three camping trips seams all started leaking, not able to be repaired had to toss it and have to find a new one.

This mattress has all the same features and functions as the longstanding big name backpacking pads. The fill/deflate valve is very functional and easy to use.The pad is quite comfortable, I took a quick nap when I first inflated it and the texture of the matt is nice on the skin. It was very easy to deflate and get back into the bag if you fold it the same way it came out of the bag.The bag also had a nice little pocket to contain a patch, this is nice as I've lost patches for other mats with less secure pockets. I also like how long the mat is. I'm rather tall and the extra height is valuable to me.

The sleeping pad started losing air already. I used the pad less than 10 times, and to think, that it is already leaking. I weigh 190 pounds. The sleeping pad is used in the back of my SUV (flat surface). I would not purchase this pad. Not worth the money.

This pad worked perfect for me on my last camping trip to the mountains by Mammoth. It was in the low 30s and I slept in my hammock one night and a cot the next two nights. The pad was such an incredible help to keep the cold from beneath. I don't have a fancy sleeping bag. I just throw an extra down blanket inside with me but when its 30 out I have gotten cold before, but not anymore. Worth every penny! I'm going to buy another one for my wife. I weigh 240lbs and have very broad shoulders and most pads just don't cut it. This one worked great, stayed inflated and didn't slide out.

Lightweight and easy to inflate. Seems durable enough but the soft surface is pretty slick for my sleeping bag and is hard to stay centered on the pad. But not a bad sleeping pad at all!UPDATE after use in the field: My original review still stands, but I need to note that after trying to sleep on it for two nights, I just can't do it. It's comfortable enough, but it's noisy every time you move: "SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH". I'll be getting a piece of foam to use instead.

This seller is great to deal with and I would give this seller a5 star rating unfortunately I gave a 1 star originally because ofproduct being smaller than quoted. How ever this does notreflect on them, but rather on the product.I highly recommend them as a seller and would have no trouble purchasingfrom them again. William
