Exped sleeping mat review.

However the benefits of this pad are offset by its heavy weight. It is high off the ground full of premium foam holds air extremely well and is pretty easy to pack up come morning. This was one of our favorite pads to sleep on and gave us many good nights of sleep. But one thing they re usually not.

It all comes down to thickness. 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. The exped synmat 7 is an insulated air construction sleeping pad that is quite comfortable. It s still a narrow tapered sleeping pad though so i was eager to try out the longer and wider airmat ul.

I like many started out with an self inflating sleeping mat when i first got into hiking and camping. 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. I appreciate the soft fabrics and thickness it offers and it packs down nice and small to keep the bulk down. As far as summer rated sleeping pads go the exped airmat hl m is at the top of my list.

Exped is a company that started taking over the traditional self inflating sleeping pads by other companies like thermarest. I always slept alright on that mat but when i got older i needed something a little more than 2 5 centimeters to sleep on.
