Exped Mat Review

The exped airmat hl m is currently the company s lightest and most packable inflatable sleeping pad.

Exped mat review. Exped megamat 10 overview the exped megamat 10 bucks the ultralight trend and remains crazy comfortable. For this review i tested the megamat duo 10 lw which is exped s largest model that measures 77 6 inches long 52 inches wide and 3 9 inches thick. Pick the right mat for your needs. As a side sleeper i really appreciated the wide area of the mat.

This was one of our favorite pads to sleep on and gave us many good nights of sleep. With our different mat categories we cover all needs. While it was nudged out of the top spot by mattresses that are slightly easier to inflate and store and just a little more affordable this mat will provide a lot of joy for any car camping adventure. It is exceptionally warm deliciously comfortable and relatively easy to use.

The airmat portion refers to no internal insulation as opposed to their downmat down insulated or synmat synthetic insulated options. However the benefits of this pad are offset by its heavy weight. Exped says of its coatings. The exped 7 inflates to 7cm in height as opposed to the exped 9 which inflates to 9cm and is incredibly comfortable as an air mattress should be.

The same is true for most outdoor activities with the ultralight movement taking hold and every single product getting cut in half at least. And thanks to its down fill it s incredibly warm as well with absolutely no cold spots. I can only imagine hl stands for hyperlight and the m refers to the size in this case medium. We like the synmat s easy to use valve system and that they re located on the bottom of the mat so you don t feel them when sleeping.

A mat is much more important than the sleepingbag when it comes to warmth. It easily and comfortably sleeps two average sized adults and fits in most large car camping tents. What is important for you. Exped takes the threat of deflation seriously including a full repair kit with multiple patches glue and a detailed repair manual all stored in its own tiny pouch within the pad s stuff sack.

After reading seemingly endless reviews my quest brought me to an exped megamat 10. Pu polyether film laminate hydrolysis resistant oeko tex 100 certified whatever that means. It feels tough and we didn t experience any air loss of punctures while sleeping on rocks or pine duff. After 2 weekend camping trips the exped has helped me regain comfort while camping.

The exped synmat 7 is an insulated air construction sleeping pad that is quite comfortable. In many sectors of innovation smaller lighter and faster is better. It also has an internal pump which is a nifty feature though most testers found it unnecessary.
