Exped's most mega mat is named aptly, so you don't miss what it is, and what it does! Just in case you haven't twigged yet, this mat is mega! If you want a mat that's as good to sleep on as your own bed, this is it. It's almost exactly the same length and width as the standard single beds in our spare bedrooms. It's good and thick and well insulated, too so if you use it when car-camping, you get a great night's sleep, fellow campers allowing, that is! Its plenty warm enough to use over four seasons, keeping you well off frozen ground and staying warm to the touch. The top-side cover is soft to the touch and not as low-friction as some mats, which means you're more inclined to stay put over-night!

I purchased both the Megamat outfitter 10LXW and a regular Megamat 10 LXW. I don’t write many reviews, but did for this product because I wanted to answer the questions I felt were poorly answered in my own research.So far, I love the perceived durability and peace of mind of the Outfitter version. The regular version feels softer, more bed-like and the fabric is quieter than the outfitter.We are using them to replace the mattress in our pop up travel trailer and it is going to be a great fit. With the added bonus that we can remove them easily and use them elsewhere. For the record, I am 5’10” and 300 pounds, and the mattress has survived well with myself and my two 7 year old boys,

We were about to set off for our first camping trip and I wanted to try and get the maximum insulation and comfort for my wife who was less emotionally ebullient about the trip than me. :-) No (single person) sleeping mat is wider, longer or more comfy than this model and if you have the space in the car/house to store you'll be very happy with it (no getting away from the fact that it's still a very large sausage when rolled though).I bought 4 of these around 2 years ago and they've been brilliant (no punctures but not used terribly often - just at home for sleepovers, when camping or visiting friends). I tend to not remember to lay them out before they're needed (or maybe just too impatient)

I'm SO glad I bought these. Given their price, I was hesitant to buy multiple of them for my camping kit, but have zero buyer's remorse, after using them this weekend.I'm a 6'2" 270lb guy with a bad back. If I sleep on anything harder than a pillow top, my back is agony in the morning. My tiny girlfriend is the opposite, and needs to sleep on bricks to sleep well. We were both ecstatic.When fully inflated, they're very stiff, which is good for some, but you can deflate it to make it super soft as well. I deflated mine until it was just full enough that my pressure points wouldn't touch the ground underneath, and it's suuuuuper comfy. More comfortable than my memory foam mattress at home,

Really happy with this camping mattress. Was hard to fork out so much dough for a camping pad but bc of my back and hip pain issues and our first camping experience as a family I wanted to make it the best experience possible so I went with this one based on the reviews. This mattress was well with the $$$. It is very high quality, toasty warm, and so so comfortable (once I found the right inflation level for me). I just had to play with it a bit as I can't have too hard of a mattress for my hips. You can get it really firm too if prefer though. This mattress was so comfortable I now have it on my side of the bed at home as we have a firm mattress that I couldn't sleep on without hip pain.

I was so hesitant to pay $200 for a camping pad despite obsessing over this one for some time. However after reading some reviews and the one that said it was the price of staying in a hotel, I was pushed over the edge. I rarely stay in hotels, mostly camp and thought I owe it to myself to get something decent.I am in love with this pad. There is no turning back. It is so easy to setup. I lay it out in my tent with the intake valve open to let a little air in and then later a few puffs (a minute) with the accompanying pump and voila, I have a comfortable pad. It is possible to have it very very firm or let a little air out and have a little give. Packing up, open the output valve and roll from the other end.

I have MCS, so I am always sniffing at new stuff and allowing for weeks of airing and outgassing and spraying with vinegar and putting in sunlight.... Well, none of that needed with the Exped. My eagle nose smelled nada--except in the interior of the carry sack--that smelled a bit toxic and it is inside-out on the clothesline.I didn't think the directions to let it self inflate for at least an hour and then hand-puff it would work, but it did--I actually over inflated with a dozen pumps, for my comfort, and let some air out. Pretty quiet fabric (still a little "nylon-y", but cotton wouldn't wipe up well--that's what sheets are for.)I got the M width (about 26 inches) and normal length (

The Megamat 10 is by far the most comfortable camping mat I have ever slept on! I have tried 5 other brands of inflatable mats of which some where pretty good until I tried the Megamat! the beauty of this mat is that it incorporates memory foam in a cellular pattern along with ability to air it up to your desired firmness, genius is what I say! only thing i will say that is somewhat of a negative, is that it takes awhile (depending on temperature outside) when you initially unpack it for it to completely self inflate. you can help it with the provided foot pump which works pretty well, however, it is the foam core that takes time to expand, especially after it has been packed for extended periods of time.

I used this mat a couple of times this summer while camping. First time for four days, next time for five days and then seven days. I always had to pack a cot because of back problems. So before purchasing this mat I read reviews and then I decided to purchase it. My main concern was that I would touch/feel the ground while sleeping....totally the opposite!!!! When laying on the mat the only thing I felt is a comfortable mat under me. I like the fact that I am able control how firm I want it and it stayed firm for the seven days it was used. No need to pump more air.Be sure to follow instruction and it does takes about 24 hrs to inflate when you first get it but after that it does not take any time at all.Be sure to check what size you'll need.

I have used over 100 nights now and cannot fault this mattress. My tip - experiment to find your own ideal softness - not enough air and you will touch the ground underneath, too much air and the mattress will feel hard from the pressure. It is wide, long and thick, comfortable whether you lie on side or on back. There are 2 valves, one to inflate and 1 to deflate. Left unrolled it gradually self inflates with the internal foam but always needs a little top up from the lightweight hand pump that has been very effective since I realised that you need to pump it with a thumb over the intake hole. It is quite easy to roll up and fit back into the supplied cylindrical bag,

I have disc degeneration in my lower back that can be exacerbated by sleeping on poorly supported surfaces that I thought had all but put an end to my camping days. I decided to gamble with this mat and I slept on this mat for 2 months straight on a summer road trip and did not have any problems with my back. I was able to blow it up to be extra firm and support my back and put extra air in every other day or so. My dog slept/walked/jumped on it multiple times and her nails never damaged anything. I am 5'8" and got the smallest size and slept with me and my large dog in a 3 person tent. The mat fit comfortably inside the tent, I think the larger sizes would have been too big for the tent and I fit on the small one just fine.

I love this mat! Best mattress for camping I've ever used. Pretty easy to inflate, but it is a foot pump. So plan accordingly. The stuff sack is wonderful and pretty forgiving. It took me a few tries to get it as closely deflated as initial use, yet I could still roll it up in to stuff sack. After owning over a year I had a malfunction in the mattress. Contacted the company and sent it to WA office for repair. EXPED replaced the mattress since still under warranty. Only cost me shipping there and was relieved at how quickly they addressed it and replaced and shipped back. Shipping to Washington state is pricey if you are on the other side of country (for me 50-75 bucks depending on expiditing).

This pad is extremely comfortable and makes for a vastly upgraded night's sleep when compared to a simple pad. It comfortably fits two of us and is also not so bouncy as to be disruptive when stirring around in the middle of the night. Of course, there are a few trade-offs such as:- the pad takes up most of the space in our 3-person (rated) tent- it takes a while to self-inflate after which the included hand-pump must be used for full-inflation and firmness (an hour or two, at most)- deflating requires quite a bit of effort of rolling, squeezing and stuffing it back into the included carrying bagThese trade-offs (which were known ahead of time) are a small price to pay for comfort, however!

I am NOT the "rugged outdoors type" but now getting into kayak camping in retirement. This thing is amazing. Pad is comfortable, supportive, and your bones never hit bottom when tossing about. No air loss ever detected. The Mega Mat (LXW size) gets lashed onto the top of my kayak, is sprayed and dunked in salt water for days on end, gets thrown onto beaches and rocks, scorched by the Florida sun all day, and comforts me at night. Now that is tough! Self-inflation is quick and easy. The little hand squeeze pump works great, but really takes about 3 minutes to get the pad really firm-firm. As a bonus, the Exped mates perfectly with my Nemo Mezzo Loft Luxury sleeping bag ($250.00). The combo is not cheap,

Bought this to replace an airbed. Having tested it we have since bought 2 more; there are 3 of us in our family. I have breast cancer that has spread to my hips and spine and the only bed I find comfortable is my own, with a memory foam top. I struggle in hotels, other houses, etc, and found our airbeds way too uncomfortable when camping. We were looking for the best, and with the Exped Megamat, we've found it. Very comfortable, easy to inflate, easy to finely adjust the amount of air inside. Yes, it's bulky to carry, but for our sort of load-the-car family camping that's not a problem. And yes, it's pricey,
