I camp in my van and even though I use a memory foam mattress I put to on an extruded aluminum base the has hard, aluminum crossbars so it’s not very comfortable. I found this and I thought it might help. It made all the difference! I can’t even begin to describe the difference in how it feels to sleep on the mattress with this under it. I can’t feel the crossbars at all and my back feels great when I wake up. This pad has improved the quality of my sleep when I’m camping. Read more

I was excited to use this pad, and finally got the chance on a 4-night, 5-day backpacking trip. The first observation about this product, is that it is much larger than similar items of this nature. In terms of cell size, length, and width. For some this might be a bonus, but for longer backpacking trips, it was not ideal. I ended up cutting off one “fold” of the matt to save space. The bag it comes with is nice, but once I cut off one of the “folds,” it was a bit loose, so I didn’t use the bag. Also, most people who are conscientious of weight will opt to forego the bag (and just use the elastic straps, attached to their bag). It fit fine into the loops on the bottom of my bag, although a bit tight of a fit. The pad seemed to actually be slightly less comfortable, due to the larger cell foam size. So even though this seems amazing, it was actually a bit uncomfortable. Although I used it without an inflatable mattress (lesson learned), I still felt it was slightly less comfortable than it could have been. It seems great on paper, but I would not recommend this for backpacking (or at least, extra-light) trips. for camping, it should be find with additional padding or an inflatable mattress underneath. It did help to offset a little bit of the cold (I slept in low to mid 40 degree Fahrenheit temperatures)… but the comfort was less than what I had expected. One star deducted, four stars left for the quality of the item itself. Read more

Absolutely love this pad! The firmness is just right, providing excellent support without feeling too hard. The heat retention is incredible—I stayed warm and cozy all night, even in colder temperatures. Perfect for camping trips and outdoor adventures. Highly recommend! Read more

This is a pretty nice folding sleep pad. Some people love them and some people hate them. They are definitely a give and take kind of item. You gain with them being light, quick and easy to deploy, and fairly cheap. You give with them being bulky, not quite as comfortable, and usually not as insulating as an air pad. This specific one is not bad overall. It is a little bulkier than the more high end ones, but it does offer a good bit of padding compared to some others and some extra width for larger people. It also has a pretty high R value for a folding pad and the silver side will help reflect your heat back at you. The tan side is definitely a little softer witch actually offers you two choices of firmness though the difference isn't going to be drastically noticeable. It does seem to be quite durable and should last quite a while. It's nice that it comes with the elastic straps and nylon bag, as most of them come with nothing extra. Overall I think it is a really good pad. I'm happy with it and would recommend it. Read more

Great pad to boost the R value of your sleep system. Happy with the purchase. A little bulky but worth it. Read more
