EXPED DEEPSLEEP MAT 7.5 SLEEPING PAD SERIES

The simplest and least expensive camping mattresses will be 100 percent made of this foam, but more expensive ones may offer additional padding for comfort, waterproof covers, etc. The self-inflating mattresses are made with less dense foam that allows the open areas in the foam to fill up with air (and also to deflate easily and be rolled up tightly). The thinner pads that don’t self-inflate are made from closed-cell foam, which is super dense. Most camping mattresses are made from foam. Here are some frequently asked questions about owning a camping mattress: What are camping mattresses made of? If you’re winter camping or if you’re body tends to run cold, you’re gonna want to look for one with a higher r-value. The r-value refers to how warm the mattress will keep you. You might sacrifice a little comfort, but it may be worth it if your partner is a literal mover and shaker.

A thinner mat is naturally gonna be a better option for this. If you’re sharing the mattress with a partner, you’ll want to look for one that minimizes motion. A mat will probably have a longer life than an inflatable bed, because unfortunately a well-placed twig or an energetic puppy can take out an inflatable in one fell swoop. OTOH, if you’re not backpacking, you can spring for something that takes up a little more space. If you’re backpacking, you’ll want something lightweight, compact, and easily foldable/rollable. But if you prefer a soft sleeping surface, be sure to get one that comes with extra foam padding, along with a super-comfy sleeping bag. Most camping mattresses aren’t gonna be pillowy soft, because they’re either a mat that’s gonna be laying directly on the ground, or an inflatable that needs to be filled with air, and therefore, on the firmer side. Regarding the price, the pad is expensive, but this is a quality product from a renown brand, and it comes with excellent warranty conditions.Here are some key things to look for in a camping mattress: The packed size is also such that you need a car for transportation. Regarding the weight, the pad is quite heavy, you will see the numbers for both options below. Its temperature rating is simply impressive so you will will be protected from the cold ground in any case, no matter how and where you use it. Regarding the best use & climate, the pad is for two people, and you can use it for car camping, to sleep in the car and in the tent. So this is moderate, but the pad is very stable and without much plushness, there is no bouncing here, and it is good for any sort of sleepers. I already mentioned its thickness, the number 7.5 in the official name is related to it. But the LW version is both long and wide enough for two adults. I must say that what they call the medium size is quite small and narrow and I do not see it as a pad for two people at all. Regarding the size, as mentioned above you have them in two sizes. Who is this Exped DeepSleep Mat 7.5 Duo for There are straps included to keep it rolled, see the picture below. To deflate, open the one-way deflation valve and compress the pad with your body. This is a big pad so it is important to deflate it properly in order to place it in its included carry bag. You can always blow some air in to speed up the process. There are two low profile but wide valves on one of its ends, see how they look.

But it takes some time, give it half an hour or so. When you unfold the pad and open the valves, it will inflate by itself.

On their site they claim this is the official ASTM F3340-18 rating, so it should be reliable. This is where the pad shines, its temperature rating is -50.8 ☏ (-46 C). The insulation is an open-cell PU foam, 16 kg/m² and Oekotex 100 certified. The bottom is a stronger 75D polyester with the same other features. It is also hydrolysis resistant, honeycomb embossed, and Oeko-Tex 100 certified. You will want to know that this is a quiet material. The top shell fabric is quite durable 75D micro brushed polyester with a TPU polyether film laminate. So these are self-inflating sleeping pads with a moderate thickness of 3 inches (7.6 cm) and with vertical side walls. The duo sizes are in focus here, but all of them share the same basic features. They build it in two duo sizes and four solo sizes.
