Comments about Exped Downmat 9 Sleeping Pad with Pump:

OK, it is a bit on the heavy side. But the comfort more than makes up for it.

I've used it in the North Cascades (30 degrees) and in deep snow in Eastern Washington (5 degrees).

The warmest part of my body was the part on the cushion. Even down to 5 degrees in the snow.

Packs very compactly, fills up pretty easily with the build in pump.

Very comfortable, on my back or side.

Comments about Exped Downmat 9 Sleeping Pad with Pump:

Great sleeping pad. It is pretty bulky and heavy and would be best used for car camping or a short hike in.

If you choose to attach this sleeping pad to the outside/bottom of your pack I would recommend using a protective cover. In an effort to save space on the inside of my pack I attached the pad to the bottom of my pack and rolled it to about 15" long, which did not allow for the pad to fit into the stuff sack that it comes with. As a result of just generally setting my pack down, the pad was punctured in a few places.

Comments about Exped Downmat 9 Sleeping Pad with Pump:

If any of you are familiar with the Bighorn Crags in central Idaho you know that the terrain will take it out of you. Enter the exped 9. Over the years I've spent a fair amount to sleep comfortablely at home. What a waste of money. I should have bought a couple of these pads and called it quits.
The pad inflates easily and adjusts just as easily. I spent four nights on this pad with nightly temps in the mid 30's and slept very good.
The rest of my camping crew have the pad and the feeling is mutual.
This pad is top shelf. Defiinitely recommended.

Comments about Exped Downmat 9 Sleeping Pad with Pump:

My husband and I travelled to Alberta for a month from Ontario and I slept on my Downmat every night and had great sleeps. It was so easy to inflate manually but we did use our handy pump which plugs into the cigarette lighter when temperatures were 44 degrees celsius to save a bit of manual labour. Also had conditions of 6 degrees celsius in Lake Louise but sure it would be an awesome job for winter camping as well. I never had to add a bit of air to top it up.

Comments about Exped Downmat 9 Sleeping Pad with Pump:

Great pad. Like the new integrated pump-- takes about 3-4 minutes to inflate. In the beginning you are thinking whoa this is gonna take forever but then it inflates quicker than you think. I bought 2 of these and have the associated chair cover (REI doesn't seem to carry it) that can also hook together both mats when not bent as a chair.

I also got the wide after trying a bunch of pads at the store and just liking the comfort of the extra width. Most of my other gear is fairly light and minimalist but I couldn't scrimp on the pad.

Comments about Exped Downmat 9 Sleeping Pad with Pump:

Used this pad on an 8 week mapping trip to the Mojave desert.
Pad kept me warm at night and kept the water off me in rain storms that flooded my tent and everything around me.
Pad got a hole in it at about week 4. Tried to patch it but the patch failed.
Went to the REI in Las Vegas but they had no replacements and did not understand that I was not on a weekend camping trip to a KOA.
I bought another pad, and used it for the last 4 weeks and kept this pad to put underneath the new pad for warmth.
This is a good pad but I am marking it down because it should have lasted longer.
Good for weekend trips, might not be what you want if your on long term trips or need it for the trip to the alps or K2.
REI, your lack of stock in some of your store keeps upsetting me. Please try and keep your stores fully stocked.

Comments about Exped Downmat 9 Sleeping Pad with Pump:

As a 45 year old scout leader, I needed a pad that would provide ultimate comfort that could be packed used for car camping or shorter backpacking trips. I read the reviews and decided to spend the money on this pad. I have used it only once so far but it more than easliy fit the bill. It was comfortable and warm. It takes about 2 minutes to pump up with the self contained pump but it is well worth effort. I look forward to the many campouts I have ahead with my family and the scouts as I will not be having the "old man" morning back pains again.

Comments about Exped Downmat 9 Sleeping Pad with Pump:

This sleeping pad is phenomenal. It's too heavy/bulky for backpacking, but for car camping I'll never use anything else. Sleeping pads have *never* been confortable for me--this pad has changed my experience of camping... now that I'm getting a good night's sleep every time I'm out I can enjoy myself more! I just wish there were some way Exped could figure out a lightweight backpacking pad. I would be first in line.

Comments about Exped Downmat 9 Sleeping Pad with Pump:

Having worked for years to lighten my load I found this was the one item not worth skimping on. At 50+ I really appreciate a good nights sleep at the end of a long day hiking and this pad has always delivered. Almost like being home in bed, and better than many hotels I have stayed at. I have been comfortable in 25 degree weather in my 35 degree bag. It sounds unbelievable but this pad feels warm laying on it, it stops your heat transfer to the ground that well. In warmer weather, say 50 degrees I have to sleep with my bag like a quilt. I don't think I would choose it for a summer trip in hot climate areas but most of my hiking is off season in Washington and Canada. It packs down a little larger than some mats, and is a little heavier too but for me the comfort makes it a no brainer. Worth every penny.

Comments about Exped Downmat 9 Sleeping Pad with Pump:

I just used this last weekend on a Quinzee (snow cave) campout with my son and this pad rocked!!! I never felt the cold of the snow and it is the most comfortable pad I have ever slept on. I am a side sleeper and not once did I ever feel the ground. I had given up backpacking due to never getting a good nights sleep with typical closed cell pads and would get up in the morning stiff and sore. I can't wait to try this on a hike.

Yes, it is not the lightest pad out there, but I would rather carry an extra couple of pounds to be comfortable. It packs up nice and small and I think if I get a slightly longer stuff sack for my sleeping bag, I can pack both together. Normally when I car camp I have used a large Coleman inflatable bed, but honestly this pad was much better. Inflation was simple. It did take a couple of minutes for me to figure out how to work it properly, but once I did, it was rather easy. Deflating was a breeze too.

I researched pads pretty extensively and selected this one mainly due to its thickness, hoping it would make side sleeping bearable and it exceeded all my expectations. It was as comfortable as being in my own bed at home.

As far as durability goes, I will have to comment on that after I have used it for more trips. Bottom line... if you are considering buying this pad... splurge and you won't be sorry.
