Tested: Exped Synmat UL 7M

This is the sleeping mat to transform camping for you. Its plush 7cm thickness makes the mat incredibly comfortable, almost like sleeping in your own bed.

This is a blow up air mat, however most air mats are cold because the air convects inside them; the air circulates and cools on the surface the mat sits on. The Synmat is filled with incredibly light synthetic insulation trapping air and making the mat warm.

The mat only weighs 435 grams in the bag and packs down to 23cm tall and 10cm wide, much lighter and smaller than conventional self-inflating mats and it is way more comfortable.

They come with a two years manufactures guarantee. I’ve used my one regularly for 4 years and had no issues, making it the most reliable mat I have ever owned. If you want to buy one thing to improve your camping experience this is it.
