Thread: Trekology super comfortable sleeping mat for the sasquatche among us

Well a couple months ago i splashed out on an ultralight insulated sleeping mat.
Can't remember the brand but it was a copy lf a thermarest neoair xlite in mummy shape and large size.....its actually a pretty good copy and ultra light but the mummy shape doesn't suit me and i gound it a little narrow for my large frame.
I spent 1 night on it and although it was definitely comfy and plenty thick and warm it just isn't something I'm likely to use again do I'll probably list it up for sale soon or add it to the pile of gear i don't use.

Fast forward a vouple months and after trawling the yellow site i found a worthy contender at a reasonable price.
The trekology ultra light sleeping mat in large.
Here is the product blurb:

Any way the important specs are 57cm wide x 191cm long and a whopping 10cm thick when inflated
I can lay flat or roll onto my side and it's very comfy, looking forward to getting out camping again as I'll be honest I've been avoiding it due to not loving my previous mat.

Anyway here's a couple pics.

Weight including stuff sack.


Pic next to a sauce botyle for scale basically its just a little larger than a coke can.


Side on view showing thickness that's a standard size deck of cards for scale.

I borrowed my mates nemo for our last trip which was pretty damn good too similar size and weight

Like you I don’t like my neo air for comfort.

The R rating is quite low, will be interesting to see if you stay warm.

Have been doing a heap of reading and I’m going to try the Big Agnes Riptide mat, similar specs to yours but think it’s R4.2

Please do report on its performance

Yeah will do, I have a decent bag and bag liner, tent can run a ground sheet as well as the floor, all this does add up to a reasonable amount of insulation.

I haven't slept on it yet

funny...that is almost like the lilos we had in the early 80s...... hell those thing took a beating,many of them spent lazy summy afternoons in swimming pools or lakes,rivers with folks getting sunburnt to a crisp asleep on them.seldom would they get holed on rough ground as material was thick..and heavy..but you sure got a good nights sleep.
my old ex nzdf sleeping bag cover HAD funny wee lilo like tubes that slipped inside compartments on bottom side.....its a good system as stops you rolling off it...
