Finally, someone who has done a meaningful review on the sleeping mats. Thanks.

Amazingly soft speach! I would suggest this video as an English practice video! I am thinking of making this video to looped sleeping aid. It is somehow so peaceful!

Thanks, most helpful review. Bonus points for measurements in centimeters

It’s a very helpful review and I like that the measurements are in cm which make a lot more sense to me than inches. Thank you!

After puncturing an inflatable mattress while desert camping, I decided to go back to my Z-lite. I agree with you, closed cell foam pads like these (Thermarest Z-lite, Alps Wilderness, Nemo Switchback) are the best pads for backpacking/camping. I would recommend not cutting your pad, however. On very cold ground, you will want the insulation for your feet and calves.

Thanks! We have Thermarests for the family but my husband is used to sleeping on a plain yoga mat. Since we will be doing more camping in the Fall, I wanted to surprise him with this! Thanks for the review!

Excellent video explaining the sizes. You sold it to me and I've ordered one whilst watching the vid!

Great review. I feel most of the mat reviews I have watched up until now were by older, heavier male reviewers perhaps with a bigger budget for expensive inflatable mats plus replacing them when they pop! Your review provides a welcome balance to all of that.

I bought this last year because of all the positive reviews, and I must say, this pad isn't for me. I'm a larger fella and felt like there just wasn't enough cushion, for being a side sleeper. It ended up going to my nephew for boy scouts. Thermarest Neoair x-therm, ended up being my true love! :)

Everyone is really into air mattresses now, but when I read the reviews on Amazon, there are always 2 or 3 that talk about air leaks they can't find. The furthest I would go is get a light one to put on top of it. Haven't done it yet. I have a dog with sharp claws.

Great Review! Love this. Thank you so much.

Great review :). My late grandfather had one of these so I was thinking to myself “hey, let’s give it a shot”, but all I could find were reviews about how uncomfortable they are. It’s nice to have found someone who agrees with the old legend! I’m going to try it out - I nap on the floor at home sometimes with my dog so I think this will do fine :). Thanks again!

Thanks a bunch for the review! Will be pairing this with another sleeping pad for my first trial backpacking trip up here in Canada! Cheers 😊

Thanks! Just ordered one for my section hikes!

I am Canadian and i use this sleeping pad the same way although i strap it to my pack differently it really can take years of use as you need to deliberately attempt to destroy it to cause damage

Tx for presenting it... I never considered getting it but now I am tempted to get it. The R~2.6 would be fine even for 0°C and "no panic" when the "thorny" floor... ;)

I just received one and tested it on a tile floor. I was surprised how comfortable it was .

Great review. Something for me to think about. Was considering a blow up mattress to save space but i think the trade off with reliability is worth it.

I dont have the thermarest one, but I got pretty much the same thing, just ozark trail brand. After constant patching and still having my pad deflate I said screw it and tossed the air(less) pad and picked up closed cell foam... first week was bad sleep but once I adjusted to the change I never looked back.

just ordered one off amazon for my hammock. its chilly here on the east coast, about 5c. looking forward to using it on the AT

Pack size could be important if you are trying to get your rucksack on a plane as hand luggage, without paying the extra luggage charge :-). Air mattresses pack down to nothing, but personally, I don't like them as have had two get punctures when out camping - a real pain. Useful review. Thanks.

Thank you for this video! Very informative and very helpful.

I have that pad as well. I mostly use it under my sleeping pad to protect it and for a sit pad. I cut it down to 3/4 length. Great video. New follower here. Crow✌️

Im considering either an inflatable or this one. Great points raised. My concern is the space (I really dont like my stuff "packed" outside my bag). But packing this in the middle opened like a book can be workable way of doing it.

Very helpful cheers from the UK :) subbed. Also beautiful voice

Great, clear video. Many thanks for making and sharing. You may have just convinced me! ATB - Ben (UK)

Brilliant review, I'm sold 👍

Yeah it is about same price on Amazon. at moment, It looks quite good. would be as light as it gets if remove couple of sections, thanks,

Thanks much, I was looking fr this review 😊 Love from India♥

Dope interesting hearing your thoughts on this one!! Cheers

I can sleep listening to you 🥰

I have thought about getting one of these egg crate style pads. I have an inflatable one now and am looking for something a little more bullet proof. Thanks for the review and have fun outside!!

thank you! great review... very helpful!

You are very cute lol. Great review. I love the durability factor most about these but exactly like you said, they're arguably bulky. I honestly prefer to pack as light as I can because I have a bad back and am starting to think maybe a repair kit and a deflatable compressible mattress might suit me more. But I also think it'll basically bite me in the ass when my mattress deflates on me and I get uncomfortable, then upset. I had also planned on cutting one of these down to suit my Mont Hibernator Bivy if I did get one. But still the bulk factor kills me. Yeah the more I think of it the more I think of a Thermorest X-Lite which has an R-value of 4.2. It's just the x-lite is so expensive, and supposedly one of the highest quality air mattresses you can get, but still I've heard in reviews that they can leak pretty much brand new out of the box. It's also for military service so the puncture/repair kit factor is pretty important considering it's expectedly going to have to stand up to a drenched damp cold trench. But that's likely for only a short part of the season. I was going to get the Neo Air X-Therm but I think that's more for literal mountaineering. Sorry for the essay lol I'm just trying to weigh my options by typing it out.

Great review, thankyou from the uk

Good review. I wish I could use it, but at age 58 with osteoarthritis my back needs more cushion. I use a lightweight inflatable pad. However, I do use the seat pad version of this sleep pad. I find it to be a very useful item in my backpack and bike panniers.

Great review. Thank you....

thanks for that great video! :)

I got a mat from decathlon for 19.99 I slept on it for 2 weeks but I wonder if this would be better

Would you ever use that with a lite inflatable on top? Are you a back, side or stomach sleeper? I do use one for winter but cannot give up my new Neoair NXT. Lol

Great review

Really good review, usefulllll! Thank you

Thanks for this

Very informative thanks

Smart and practical kind of girl huh I like that simple dosent always look simple but it works. Just strap it to your bag and go.

I’ve got my zlite can’t wait to use it all n the west highland way in a couple of weeks. I bought a roll mat to go under it but I think judging by what I’ve read online I might not need that as the zlite might be sufficient. What’s your thought on that have you tried it on top of anything and have you had any issues feeling the cold on winter snowy nights? Greetings from the UK and thanks for the video :)

Thanks a lot, ve a great time

i like it

i have a nemo air pad but i am looking at switching to a z-lite mabe after I get my xmid tent

Thank you

how cold can it be outside/ or in the tent in your opinion to still feel comfortable on this mat? Do you also use it during autumn?

Just bought one of these. Love it!!! And I've not even taken it out yet lol. What's the coldest temp you've used this in? As a caveat... I'm predominantly a Hammock camper. I have a 4 season mat as well. But was hoping I could find a way of using this all year round? Thanks in advance. Great video BTW.

You’re a dream.

Liked your video for a good and honest review. I hate it for giving me a dilemma! Foam or air mattress? 😅

Thanks Hayley. Obviously you sleep on your back and find this mat comfortable. How would I go - I sleep on my side? I have boney hips that need a bit of support.

Wondering whether to move to this after getting a hole in my air bed (which I can't find to repair!) Unsure on the comfort of it though

Clear, concise and effective review. Very helpful as it was just the thing I was looking for. Thanks muchly. BTW, unfortunately the product link is broken :(

I bought it today😉

Hello thanks for the review. I wonder can it be used for sick patients (can't move) to help ventilate air underneath them while lying the whole day? Thanks PS: please google iMedicare iAM-8P (just for example of what I'm asking)

R value of 2.6? I thought they were only rated up to 2?

Does it get wet and stay wet?

wow $92 aud for this pad? how much do inflatables cost over there? that pad cost me $35 here in the US

Is it water resistant? Thx

Does it keep you warm enough?

I came because the cute girl and stayed for the great info.

Nyc my dear.
