It’s perfect for those who prefer a firmer surface to sleep on. Even when pumped up to 85% or so, I don’t get close to bottoming the pad out (I weigh around 185 pounds).īut, when pumped up all the way, the pad is super firm (yet still comfortable). This little bit of give is perfect for side sleeping (my go-to sleep style). Personally, I prefer a softer sleep surface, so I don’t pump my MegaMat up all the way. The MegaMat is so much easier to store, it insulates even better from the cold, and it doesn’t pick up nearly as much moisture (the exterior material is humidity resistant). It was a somewhat expensive replacement – but so worthwhile. In the summer of 2021, I replaced the 4-inch thick memory foam mattress (the Milliard Tri Fold) I’ve been using in the bed of my pickup for the past few years with the MegaMat 10. It’s more like an actual air mattress specifically tailored for camping. In fact, I hesitate to even call it a sleeping pad since it’s so far ahead of the competition. It’s completely changed the way I sleep while car camping. It’s by far the most comfortable sleeping pad I’ve ever used. My Experience With the MegaMat 10 Sleeping Pad Here are the main features and specs of the Exped MegaMat 10 sleeping pad: Self-Inflating Exped MegaMat 10 Features and Specifications
A basic repair kit and a carry bag with shoulder strap are also included. The MegaMat 10 is self-inflating but comes with a hand pump to top things off (or to speed up the inflation process). The exterior of the pad uses a super durable laminated polyester surface fabric with high-frequency welded seams to prevent leaks and make sure the pad stays airtight. The interior of the pad consists of high-grade open-cell polyurethane foam and horizontal air channels to increase comfort and insulation as well as to keep things (relatively) light.
It works great for cold weather camping but won’t make you uncomfortably hot in warm weather. With an R-value of 8.1, it’s one of the best insulated sleeping pads available. It packs down to the same size as the “Regular Wide” model and weighs just a pound more at 5 pounds 9.6 ounces.Īnother huge highlight of the MegaMat 10 is its insulation. If you want a little extra sleeping space, opt for the “Long X-Wide” version which measures 30.3 inches wide by 77.6 inches long when fully inflated. It packs down to 31.3 inches by 9.8 inches. The “Regular Wide” version (the standard version and the model I have) is 25.6 inches wide by 72.1 inches long when fully inflated. The top comes with a plush, non-slip finish to keep you from sliding off during the night. It’s a mega comfortable sleeping pad that’s just under 4 inches thick when fully inflated. The calculated amount of CO2 equivalents is then compensated through myclimate’s high-quality climate protection projects. In addition, Exped AG offsets all operational emissions at its site in Zurich.The name says it all – the Exped MegaMat 10 truly is a mega mat. Seperate inflation/deflation valves ensure simplistic useage and an easy-to-pack SideWinder stuff sack™ allows the MegaMat 10 to be packed small, reducing the size it takes up either in a pack, the car or the cupboard.įor a product to be considered carbon neutral, all greenhouse gas emissions for its entire life cycle must be looked at from production of raw materials to the use of the product and its disposal and/or recycling. This luxury makes the MegaMat 10 M a synonym for comfort and practically it lives up to expectations too. The stretch tricot surface ensures maximum comfort with no ridges to disrupt your sleep and air-core-channeled foam insulation directing air exactly where it is required whilst reducing weight and bulk. The new generation of Exped’s sleeping mats, the MegaMat 10 M is a self inflating pioneer with a level sleeping surface from edge to edge.
