Thread: Sea to Summit vs Exped vs Klymit

after a sleeping mat, having a look at the above brands and whilst not cheap i do like to have a half pie decent sleep, so ok to pay a bit for a decent one....but what brand would you recommend?? any particular to stay away from??

Have a look at this online review:

Exped for me

I've got the exped but only because it was the most commonly reviewed one at the time of purchase. I'm very happy with it. Synmat 7.

I know it's not on your list but my thermarest neo air x-lite is probably my one favourite piece of outdoor kit. So light so small (when packed) and so comfortable.

I've used a ecp
I've used a exped ul9 for the last couple of years... Probably the most comfortable mattress I've slept on in the bush...huts included... It's defiantly something I take care of..it sure ain't bombproof but o always have some Tyvek underneath and it hasn't let me down.. Just make sure you don't fully inflate it, it's too hard, about 3/4 is kapai...

I'm using Exped but you do need to look after them. Had the internal seams go twice because I left it inflated while away from camp. Was replaced N/C by retailer under the two year warranty.

That's very much a common theme and taken on board, thanks

Great reviews thanks

I bought an Exped Downmat 7 a few years ago. A bit bulkier than the light weight ones but so warm and comfortable. You're welcome to take it for a spin.
