Pacific Outdoor Equipment Mega Mat Sleeping Pad
|
 |
Product DetailsPacific Outdoor Equipment built the InsulMat Mega Mat Sleeping Pad so two people can enjoy a luxurious nights sleep together. The Mega Mat also works well for a car-camper who likes room roll around during the night. The 2.5 inches of Cross-Core foam cushions and supports any couple (or rowdy sleeper). Cross coring increases air flow for quick inflation and deflation, reduces bulk, and delivers exceptional insulation. The surface is a unique non-slip, 75D air-textured fabric, which gives you a soft-to-the-touch feel and prevents the slip-and-slide effect. Pacific Outdoor Equipment made this pad with durable fabric, but they included a repair kit and a beefy stuff sack too.Price : $ 141.95  |

Backpacking? If weight and bulk are top issues, then get a lightweight pad, as they are far less bulky than other pads. If you can spare a bit of bulk and some ounces, then a midweight pad does work, as it is more comfortable and warmer. |
|
For Campground Use : For campground use, get a luxury pad. Just don't plan on taking them into the mountains. Midweight pads also work, but they aren't nearly as comfortable as a luxury pad. |

Say "NO" to Foam! Foam pads have two advantages...they'll never leak and they are cheap. But they aren't nearly as effective in keeping the camper warm (one exception, see below), aren't comfortable at all, and are nasty to pack. Just say "NO" to foam! |
|
Remember their Purpose! The purpose of a sleeping pad is to keep the camper warm (primary use) and comfortable (secondary use). Thicker pads keep the camper warmer because there is more air between the ground and camper...thus insulating the camper from the cold ground. |
|
Sleeping in the Snow? If so, you want to get a luxury pad...as they will provide far more warmth than any other type of pad. And to heck with the weight and bulk. There are also some specially designed foam pads (not cheap army surplus pads) that work well for winter camping, too. |
|
Don't Forget the Stuff Sack! Sadly, many sleeping pads do NOT come with the stuff sack...it's something you need to buy separately. While it's a pain, do it...as the stuff sacks are designed specifically for the pad (reducing bulk and allowing for easy stuffing). |
