Pick the right mat for your needs.

Exped sleeping pad review.

The exped megamat duo 10 is a true standout. It all comes down to thickness. Sleeping comfort comfort is a top priority for many campers so we ll cut straight to the chase. 2016 sleeping mat line.

I always slept alright on that mat but when i got older i needed something a little more than 2 5 centimeters to sleep on. We also like that the materials are quiet no crinkling when moving around and there is an anti slip coating that stops you from sliding around in your sleeping bag if you re on a slight angle. That alone makes this pad significantly more comfortable than thin pads like the outdoorsman lab ultralight or any of the foam pads. It also has an internal pump which is a nifty feature though most testers found it unnecessary.

However the benefits of this pad are offset by its heavy weight. These pads both offer an excellent footprint and a nice variability in firmness while keeping you well cushioned from a rocky surface below. In terms of sleeping pads 3 5 inches is a lot of space between you and the ground and it leaves some wiggle room to deflate the pad so it s softer without bottoming out. Exped is a company that started taking over the traditional self inflating sleeping pads by other companies like thermarest.

Closed cell foam pads are usually longer lasting and more affordable than inflatables. The exped megamat 10 is more than a sleeping pad it s a real bed that happens to pack up small and fit in tents. If you want to know true comfort while sleeping at camp experience the megamat. Hands down the most comfortable pads we snoozed on is the sea to summit comfort plus insulated a top pick for comfort and the exped synmat 9.

The exped synmat 7 is an insulated air construction sleeping pad that is quite comfortable. This was one of our favorite pads to sleep on and gave us many good nights of sleep. But one thing they re usually not. I like many started out with an self inflating sleeping mat when i first got into hiking and camping.

We really like the rectangle shape of the pad it cradles your arms more than a narrower or tapered pad and is a good thickness for side sleeping. A mat for every. The 3 9 inch thick pad nicely balanced softness and support provided ample space between my body and the ground and the 77 6 inch length was more than sufficient for my 5 9 frame. A mat is much more important than the sleepingbag when it comes to warmth.
