But one thing they re usually not.
Exped sleeping pad review.
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.
It all comes down to thickness.
It also has an internal pump which is a nifty feature though most testers found it unnecessary.
If you want to know true comfort while sleeping at camp experience the megamat.
Exped is a company that started taking over the traditional self inflating sleeping pads by other companies like thermarest.
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.
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.
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.
With the flexmat plus exped has created a comfier warmer foam mat without compromising the durability and price point that make them a favorite of budget conscious hikers.
Sleeping comfort comfort is a top priority for many campers so we ll cut straight to the chase.
Pick the right mat for your needs.
It is high off the ground full of premium foam holds air extremely well and is pretty easy to pack up come morning.

The exped synmat 7 is an insulated air construction sleeping pad that is quite comfortable.
A mat is much more important than the sleepingbag when it comes to warmth.
That alone makes this pad significantly more comfortable than thin pads like the outdoorsman lab ultralight or any of the foam pads.
With our different mat categories we cover all needs.
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.
I like many started out with an self inflating sleeping mat when i first got into hiking and camping.
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.

These pads both offer an excellent footprint and a nice variability in firmness while keeping you well cushioned from a rocky surface below.
Closed cell foam pads are usually longer lasting and more affordable than inflatables.
The exped megamat duo 10 is a true standout.
A mat for every.
