Ultralight Sleeping Mat - Inflatable & Compact Camping Air Mattress for Backpacking, Hiking

I bought 2 of these for a camping trip with my daughters school I was chaperoning. Was not disappointed. I have a bad back and I was planning on sleeping in my car. I was worried about what kind of shape I’d be in in the morning. These were a life saver! I actually slept quite comfortably in the back of my car and woke up with my back in pretty good shape. Not much worse than normal which was great. I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to move in the morning. My daughter actually used it on the ground of a tent and said she slept very well. Her camp mates who were in the same tent said that the ground was really uncomfortable and said they were jealous of my daughters sleeping pad. I should also mention that I am defiantly a plus size person and I had no problems with this mattress. Of course I always could use a bit more width, but this mattress worked just fine.This is super easy to inflate. Literally about 12-15 breaths. I have asthma and this was a piece of cake. My daughter, who also has asthma has no troubles either.Deflating is just as easy. Cory (the owner) sent an email after purchase with tips on deflating the mattress. Just pull the little rubber flap forward through the hole and the mattress begins to deflate instantly. I just rolled it from the bottom into a tube shape, folded into thirds and it fit right back into the carry case it comes with. Very compact and super light. I just stored inside the sleeping bags when we went.I was going to store with my camping gear. But realized they could be so useful in other situations. Like the beach, sitting at picnic tables or bleachers when I want a little more comfort. Even sitting in the back of my car. Also I have had some beds when traveling that have been horrible. These mattresses would have solved those problems. Wish I had them then. As I said before, super light and compact, so I wouldn’t mind traveling with them and adding them to my suitcase.Cory, the owner is very proactive in communication and making sure that is you have any concerns or questions, that he is readily available. I had none as he was so proactive that any questions I might have had were answered almost before I thought of them.I highly recommend this product. I don’t usually write reviews (mostly due to time), however, this product exceeded my expectations so much, that I wanted to let others know that this is money well spent.Hope this helps others when making a decision about purchasing an inflatable mattress.

I bought 2 of these sleeping pads. One for me (adult female age 54 220 lbs with arthritis in hips) and one for a Boy Scout. The one for me is because I sleep on my side and cannot have pressure on my hips. This pad did the trick wonderfully. Slept great and without pain.The pad for my Boy Scout needed to be tough enough to survive a tall teenage boy learning to take care of his equipment. He has used this pad for only 10 days so far, and it has done a great job for him.Neither of us put the pad inside our bags, and the pad stayed under us anyway.Well worth the money spent. Had no problems at all. After the first use in the morning it was still inflated, but a little soft, we assumed from first time use stretching, and we added literally only 1/2 a breath. This lasted until the end of our 10 day trip. We did not deflate each night but left them inflated. The air held the whole time, which I was amazed about. I thought that we would have to add at least a breath from time to time, but we did not need to.I am thrilled to get my hips off the ground, with something that will to pack up small in my pack to give me more room, and very light weight. I am trying to lighten my pack weight and spend as little $$ as I can, and yet still be able to get equipment that is good enough to accommodate my aging body out in the sticks.My Scout wanted an air pad that was comfortable and tough and small and light weight because he likes to have nothing in his pack, so he has lots of room for other things and he does not want anything attached to the outside of his pack. This air pad was perfect for him.We live at 6,000 feet and camp out usually above that. The nights are cool, or cold, all year round, and the ground is above freezing but not really warm. This pad has worked great! and has allowed us to reduce down to one 15 degree sleeping bag without an extra layer to insulate against ground effect. We have not yet tried to use this pad directly on the snow pack, just on non-snow covered ground.Cons:This pad is pretty quiet, but not the most silent. We have been on plenty of louder/noisier pads, and a few quieter pads that were a whole lot more expensive. I would put this one somewhere in the middle-ish pile.We tried this pad out as a kids sleepover bed. The kid stayed on top of the pad, but on the carpet this pad walked/schooched itself about 14 inches sideways during the night where as the other air pads we had did not. Was this the kid on top moving differently or the air pad? We do not know. The kid did not care and used it for the next 2 nights anyway.When we have more than 1 Scout with the same pad (yes we have more than one Scout with the same pad), it is hard to know who's pad is who's come pack up time. This could be partly solved with some choices in colour availability.

Great choice if you want a very light and easy to inflate mat. I had a Klymit Static mat for many years until it broke. Seeing there are many choices of cheaper mats which weight around the same as the Klymit and are very compact as well, I gave it a try. I just spent my first camping night using this mat and these are my comments:- Inflating and deflating the mat is surprisingly easy and fast. The valve is much simpler than the Klymits but this simplicity makes it work very well.- The comfort is the same as the Klymits. If you are used to camping and sleeping on hard surfaces and without much cushioning, this mat is for you. I like to go on camping trips in which I have to carry everything for many hours, so weight beats comfort. However, if your priority is comfort, buy a thicker mat.- The mat did not loose any air throughout the night, so thumbs up for this!- I'm 5'10" and the sizing is perfect. I never during the night had any part of my body touching the floor. I used two of these mats inside a 2-person REI tent and still had a bit of room to fit my 7 year old son on between both mats.- The only negative point, and the reason I'm giving it 4 and not 5 stars, is that the plastic material seems cheaper than Klymits and this makes it very noisy when you move around at night. If you have a light sleep, this continuous plastic noise will ruin your night.Overall, a very nice mat, light, comfortable and for a very good price.
