Exped sleeping pad review.
It all comes down to thickness.
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.
Sleeping comfort comfort is a top priority for many campers so we ll cut straight to the chase.
Exped is a company that started taking over the traditional self inflating sleeping pads by other companies like thermarest.
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.
That alone makes this pad significantly more comfortable than thin pads like the outdoorsman lab ultralight or any of the foam pads.
Pick the right mat for your needs.
Closed cell foam pads are usually longer lasting and more affordable than inflatables.
The exped synmat 7 is an insulated air construction sleeping pad that is quite comfortable.
This video covers the entire exped sleeping mat line up for 2016.
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.
It is high off the ground full of premium foam holds air extremely well and is pretty easy to pack up come morning.
It also has an internal pump which is a nifty feature though most testers found it unnecessary.
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.
I like many started out with an self inflating sleeping mat when i first got into hiking and camping.
A mat for every.
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 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.
But one thing they re usually not.
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.
This was one of our favorite pads to sleep on and gave us many good nights of sleep.
The exped megamat duo 10 is a true standout.
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.
However the benefits of this pad are offset by its heavy weight.
If you want to know true comfort while sleeping at camp experience the megamat.
