Thread: Sleeping mats

Whichever inflatable mat you end up with.. if you’re leaving camp set up for the day, always always partially deflate or open the valve on the mat, so it doesn’t expand and pressure the seams as the day warms up.

I’ve got an exped downmat, which is great and has treated me well for several years (although only very occasional use). Probably the hyperlite and winterlites are the pick of the exped range for now.
When not using, I leave the mat unrolled and spread out under the bed, fully deflated. (Obviously don’t do this if you have cats etc that spend time under the bed..)
