MalloMe Sleeping Pad Camping Air Mat – Inflating Mattress Bed for Backpacking Adults – Inflatable Ultralight Insulated Soft Foam Sleep Gear - Lightweight Travel Cot Roll Mats Accessories

Update! Spent first night camping with these. I’m changing my review to 5 stars. Not sure why the R value of these mats are but they were really warm and cozy. I had a tarp for footprint, tent floor, this sleep mat and a sleeping bag as layers and it was actually pretty comfortable. I would recommend. Great price and the family slept great!These mats are not 2 inches thick, they are 1.5 inches. The “pillow” portion on the head end of the mat is 2+ inches thick. It’s packed really tight in its original packaging. I made sure I took a whole day to let the foam decompress. First I unboxed them, opened the valves, Inflated them as much as I could (about 30 breaths), then tightened the cap. I let the mats’ foam expand, doing it’s thing for about 10 hours. Then went back and inflated them again to max capacity. About 4-5 more big breaths. This being said, these mats feel pretty comfortable. I haven’t taken them camping yet but am this upcoming weekend.I had these other Kamui mats that were self inflating. They were two inches thick. But the foam felt harder and had less give. Therefore they self inflated faster. But these Kamui mats were slippery as heck. I found my pillow off on the ground in middle of the night and I would slide all over them. So that’s why I kept searching for another sleep mat.The pros and cons of these Mallome mats:Pros:-Great plush material on the top that keeps you stable as you sleep, keeping your pillow and sleeping bag more or less in place.-Quality soft memory foam. It isn’t super fast at self inflating, but it’s due to the quality memory foam inside of it. (My other Kamui mats self inflated fast but felt like sleeping on cheap styrofoam.)-Price. It’s a great value for what you pay for at $40.Cons:-Only 1.5 inches thick. But it’s softer and plushy grip material that made me choose this over my previous 2 inch mat.-Need some iron lungs to initially inflate these puppies. But maybe it won’t be so bad moving forward since I’ll just roll it in a big roll, not as tight as when it’s initially out of the package.

It appears that you have to blow the mattress up the first time you use it, but then after that, it self-inflates. For those of you that backpack with a foam mattress pad, this rolls up to a similar size, maybe slightly wider. It comes with a carrying package, which is nice. Im assuming that it can be folded back in half (like it came in the box) and rolled up if you wanted a smaller package, but I have not tried. I was a little bit skeptical at first, particularly when I (mistakenly) believed that the pad did not auto inflate, but when I went backpacking (a) the mattress did auto inflate, and (b) it was extremely comfortable. That little bit of memory foam really made in a difference in my opinion. Overall, very satisfied with the mat and would recommend.

You'll have to inflate it manually if you want to help it out as it inflates pretty slowly after being compressed. Especially if you want it fully inflated. It was comfortable enough for my camping trip. I ended up sleeping on my back, even though I'm a side sleeper as there wasn't much leeway for my shoulder.

This sleeping pad is absolutely fantastic! Super comfortable, easy to set up, light and easy to carry. It is way more comfortable that the majority of self inflating sleep pads on the market. Make sure you also get the self inflating pillow for an exceptional nights sleep on the ground. Also note, you will need to blow into the nozzle about 10 times to completely inflate the pad, however this is a small price to pay for the awesome quality of the pad.

Better than I expected! I have tried out other inflatable pads, but this one is quite different because of the memory foam padding that is added on top of the pad! May I mention that this is not only a good sleeping pad, but also functions as a very comfortable exercise mat! I’m very happy that I made this purchase! Quite easy to inflate as well, which makes it another plus! I will definitely be buying another one of these pads in the future. Great company and great customer service!

I have a Therm-a-Rest BaseCamp XL, which is AMAZING. My wife, who is an occasional camper, loves my sleeping pad but we can't bring ourselves to drop that much cash when the pad will only be used very occasionally.Bought this MalloMe pad instead. It is an great pad - it is soft/plush on the top, has a built in pillow at the top, and is long/wide enough for a normal adult (I'm 6'2", and fit on it just fine). It inflated easily and deflated/stored quickly too. And - when max inflated, it kept my body from hitting the ground, at least when laid out on my living room floor. Only a true night outdoors will tell, but I think this pad is a win!However, I also laid my Therm-a-Rest out side-by-side, and there is a difference. It's hard to tell how much that will matter when out in the woods, but we decided that the MalloMe is a keeper. If you're in the same spot, it is definitely worth getting to check it out - and even if you don't like it, free returns makes it worth checking out!

A simple, practical camp pad. The foam makes all of the difference. I use this when I take long road trips and camp in the back of my SUV. It is super light. Not as compact as other pads due to the foam layer, but worth the trade for the comfort. I ended up buying the inflatable pillow as well and wrap it up inside of the pad when in storage. A great set. Excellent customer service.
