The best Camping mat all things considered.. Review by Nick A.

This is my absolute favorite mat. I've never found anything better for a combination of comfort, weight, and price. I've slept quite a few nights on the smaller X frame, and that model is really minimal - great for ultralight camping, but not for everyone. This model is focused entirely on comfort for average users - it's wider and longer and has a built in pillow bulge (I just cover it with a shirt - no extra pack pillow required). This model is still lighter and smaller than virtually anything else on the market, even with the included hand pump and patch kit, and it's also cheaper than even the bulkier competitors. The pad can be used below freezing, although the manual suggests adding a separate ground mat for insulation. For 3 season camping, it's hard to imagine a better designed pad at any price. This is the one for me - I'm a complete convert to Klymit, without reservation. (Posted on 2/28/13)

Great Hiking addition Review by John M

I cannot stand carrying sleeping pads when I backpack but staying on some surfaces are horrible. I was looking for a pad that breaks down small and won't deflate while sleeping. This pad is about the size of a regular gatorade bottle and after inflating and deflating it, it is easy to make it that way again. Sleeping on this is pretty comfortable. The downside is the price. A little more than I wanted to spend but not having a huge sleeping pad straped to my ruck and having the same comfort as one of those makes up for it. (Posted on 2/28/13)

Very nice, but spare and conservative to save weight Review by Ross N.

Keeps you off the floor, but only just enough. Weight savings over my 4" down-filled number. Easy and quick to inflate. (Posted on 2/28/13)

260lbs and it was comfortable Review by Genzeka

I use to own the roll up sleeping mats that you had to put on the outside of your bag at top or bottom of your bag. This mat is AWESOME!!! It's compact so you store it in your bag, it holds my weight & is very comfortable to lay on. Very much worth the money & buy. (Posted on 2/28/13)

Best Lightweight backpacking air mattress for the money Review by Williamsr81

Can't wait to use this in the field actually did a trial sleep night and camped out on the living room floor with my boys. The mattress is very well built and their claim of a 4-5 breath inflate is accurate. I did use the hand pump to significantly increase the psi and firmness of the mattress. I am 6' 2" and about 235 lbs. and I slept comfortably on it all night. (Posted on 2/28/13)

I highly recommend it for everyone who wants a good night sleep when traveling. Review by Brandon N.

My wife and I live in China, the land of the incredibly hard bed. The average bed here is not much more than a box spring with about 1/4 inch of padding. My wife has Fibromyalgia, and we travel frequently. Until we bought this for her she had problems sleeping in even the expensive hotels not to mention sleeper trains. Now we never leave home without this mattress. We had our tailor make up a cover for it in a soft nylon and she blows it up every night. It only takes a few puffs to inflate this, and she can sleep comfortably. I am 5' 10" and well built, she is 5' 5" and lovably plump, we both find this mattress comfortable. We do not carry the hand pump because it takes so much more time to use. The mattress is lightweight, can fit in even a small bag, and folds up easily. I highly recommend it for everyone who wants a good night sleep when traveling. (Posted on 2/28/13)

"I slept great" Review by Bill R.

I just finished a four-day kayaking trip with this mattress. I'm old enough to enjoy senior benefits, and a good night's sleep is something I look forward to. Every night with the Klymit mattress, I slept great! At 5'8" and 160 pounds, the pad gave excellent support, comparable to my old Therm-a-rest. It's firm enough to cushion, even while sleeping on my side. With temperatures at the freezing mark, I found having the pad under my sleeping bag did not offer as much insulation as I hoped, despite the added lofting from the pad's voids and ridges. The next night I put the pad inside my bag and was much more comfortable. Once nightly lows were up into the forties, the pad was again placed under the sleeping bag, and it did great. I think the mattress will really be in its element in warm weather. One really nice benefit is the fabric isn't slippery, and my sleeping bag didn't slide downhill during the night. It's a marvel that so much comfort can be so compact and lightweight. And, it really does roll small enough to put back in the carrying sack! The fabric and construction seem robust, but the design is so minimal, it makes me worry that it may be frail. As always with durability, time will tell. (Posted on 2/28/13)
