Sea to Summit Comfort Plus Insulated Mat - Regular

I bought this sleeping mat for the first time in 2016. I was stationed in Alaska as an Airborne Infantryman in the United States Army. This sleeping pad endured for 3 years in that environment. It held up in 40+ Airborne exercises in extreme cold temperatures for weeks at a time and a deployment to Afghanistan. Sleeping on it was something I always looked forward too. It continued to serve me well leading into 2022 when I finally passed it on to a friend and bought me a new one. The new one served me well in the swamps of Louisiana and the blistering heat of Eastern North Carolina while on active duty and even now, as a civilian, it is still going strong. Treated with respect, I imagine this pad will last the average person the better part of a decade. I have never ... MoreI bought this sleeping mat for the first time in 2016.

Treated with respect, I imagine this pad will last the average person the better part of a decade. I have never had one fail in any way, but if it does and you forgot your included patch kit, it is compartmentalized, so the opposite half will retain air. To this day, I use it for camping and I keep it deployed full-time in a spare bedroom where I still sleep on it occasionally. It is very comfortable and effective. I highly recommend this product.

This thing is not small when rolled-up, and not light, so don't plan for it to be your backpacking pad. But it is verrrrry comfortable. If you're mostly car camping or have a second pad for backpacking then I highly recommend it. Both sides of the pad inflate making the total thickness better than any pad I've had before. And Sea to Summit's inflating bag makes it easy to inflate--about 1.5 bags-full for each side.The only reason for four stars instead of five is the rolled-up size and total weight.

Used this for the first time on a beach-camping weekend. It is extremely easy to inflate using the airbag that is super-conveniently incorporated into the stuff sack. Sleeping on my back, I was completely off the ground. A bit of contact on hips and shoulders when side-sleeping, but better than my previous pad and still quite comfortable. The temperatures were fairly warm (around 60F), so not a challenging test, but I did not feel any loss of body heat through the ground. It deflates quickly and is easily packed back into its sack. Light and small. I am very happy with it.
