Comments about Exped SynMat 7 Air Pad with Pump:
If your looking for a mat in this price range I would highly suggest giving the synmat serious consideration. I’ve owned 2 for six months, using them at least twice a months in conditions ranging from 20 to 69 degrees F. These mats kept my Wife and I warm at all times and allowed us to stretch the limits of our summer sleeping bags. These mats give you great features for the money. The integrated pump is a blessing to veterans of the old fashioned you blow it up yourself bigagnes mats. The reviews stating the pump is hard to use are just dead wrong. Timing myself one night, it took exactly 59 seconds and 80 pumps to inflate the mat fully. The design of the pump is extremely simple, efficient and durable. Other features include the double outlets for quick air release when rolling up for storage, a soft anti slip fabric on top that also keeps you from sticking to the mat when the weather heats up and you decide to sleep on the mat by itself, and solid construction.
The only cons I can sight for this would be that there could be the same soft anitslip material lining the inside of the storage bag; this would let you flip it inside out, stuff it with some extra clothes and use it as a pillow. Additionally, this mat is a little expensive. But if you like sleeping on a warm mat this is the best deal for weather over O F.

Comments about Exped SynMat 7 Air Pad with Pump:
I was absolutely blown away by these mats. I purchased both the regular Synmat 7 model and the Synmat 7 DLX, and can say that they have made my "self-inflating" pads completely obsolete. Even the DLX, at more than 6" wider and 6" longer, packs way smaller than the other pads, and the comfort level is simply amazing. They are so soft and cushy, even on rocky surfaces. In response to the users who have had trouble using the built-in pump or who have felt as if they are "on a raft", here are the two "tricks":
1. For the pump – place the palm of one hand over the inlet valve and then press down with both hands, release, and repeat. The pump has a one-way valve going into the mat, so you only need to block the inlet with your palm as you push down so that the air in the pump "section" goes into the mat instead of out of the hole you're pushing on. It's a simple process, but then again, with a one-way valve, it's easy enough just to blow up the mat using lung power since the air doesn't escape between breaths.
2. For that "raft feeling" – the mat only needs to be just barely inflated. Your body weight will redistribute the air and make it very soft and comfortable. If you over-fill it, it'll be very rigid and definitely pool-float-esque.
All-in-all, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these mats to anyone. I can't believe I've wasted so much time on other mats that pack larger and heavier and aren't even in the same ballpark on comfort.

Comments about Exped SynMat 7 Air Pad with Pump:
This is hands down the best mat out there, and I've tried many. Exped's attention to detail made this a product that is absolutely worth it's weight and size, even for a minimalist. Your out camping, you don't want to be cranky from a bad night's sleep, do you?
The mat is made of very high-quality materials with the top and bottom surface being slip resistant and nice on the skin. The mat has baffles and is stable and comfortable. It inflates fast due to the pump, which is an excellent system, and deflates fast due to the same system of large flat valves, which are absolutely superior to the corner valves on other mats. The mat packs down small. It insulates very well and is pretty warm. It includes a repair kit.
I love Exped and I advise everyone to look at some of their other products as well, such as their Air Pillow which weighs only a few ounces yet is very comfortable.
Why is this Exped mat better than Big Agnes? It is made of more durable materials. It is slip resistant. It is comfortable and almost luxurious to the touch. It can be inflated with the hands, eliminating moisture inside the mat and eliminating the need to blow it up. The flat valve system also deflates much faster than the Big Agnes corner valve. The two outer tubes are a little larger, creating bolsters to keep you on the mat. All this results in a better nights sleep.

Comments about Exped SynMat 7 Air Pad with Pump:
This pad is simply amazing. I have arthritis in most of my joints due to a connective tissue disorder. As a result, I tend to have trouble sleeping comfortably even in a regular bed. I had no problems falling asleep on this pad and had no sore or stiff joints upon waking each morning. It's almost as comfortable as my bed at home!
My husband and I recently used these in Yellowstone for a week, with three of those nights having snowfall. The pad kept me protected from the cold, hard ground. I didn't get chilled or feel any of the rocks on the ground. The also pack up nice and small and are fairly lightweight.
We have already recommended these to several of our friends.

Comments about Exped SynMat 7 Air Pad with Pump:
Coming from a Prolight, there is really no comparison. This pad is thicker, more comfortable and packs smaller than the other brand. The built-in pump is awesome. People that don't like the pump just don't know how to use it. This pad can be inflated in a minute and a half without working hard at all. If you work it, you can inflate in under one minute. Just bought a second one for my lady, she loves it and is not easy to please!

Comments about Exped SynMat 7 Air Pad with Pump:
Okay I was very nervous about this purchase, but after much research I bought the Synmat 7. My past pads were Prolite 4. I spent 17 nights on this last fall in Eastern Oregon. Temps down to the low teens. I have never been warmer or slept better. Wow at 54 years old I was having trouble sleeping on my side with the Prolite 4. The Synmat is incredible best nights I have ever slept in the woods. Easy to inflate with the built in pump feels durable. Packs down to size of a nagene.

Comments about Exped SynMat 7 Air Pad with Pump:
Although not as lightweight as the Thermarest NeoAir, this Exped is very durable, easy to inflate, comfortable, packs easily, deflates quickly, has a better R-Value rating (kept me warm during 30C nights), and comes with a repair kit. This pad did not lose any air and did not require any inflation for the 3 nights I was camping. A comfortable night's sleep was well worth the extra weight of this pad.

Comments about Exped SynMat 7 Air Pad with Pump:
I've used other mats in this same price range, and so far, nothing can compare. This just seems to be the perfect mat. I'm a big guy at 215 lbs, and it easily keeps me off the ground. I'm pretty rough on it as I tend to reposition myself frequently, and it doesn't lose air, and it hasn't sprung a leak. It packs down fairly small too. I haven't taken it into really cold conditions yet, but it did keep me warm when the temperature dipped to 25F (and my North Face Snowshoe bag did the rest).
I would say my one complaint is that if you have wide shoulders like me, you may want to go with an XL. The one I have lets my arms dangle off the side unless I'm in my bag.

On nights ranging from 0 to 90 degrees F; one to nine day trips; canoeing, hiking, dump camping, motorcycling, mountain biking. I wouldn't trade this for anything but water.

Comments about Exped SynMat 7 Air Pad with Pump:
After owning this 3 seasons and using it at least 100 nights I can honestly say this is the best pad I have ever owned. Still after 3 years holds air all night.Two weeks ago on a 10 day trip stayed up all 10 days without adding any air. You will never sleep warmer or better. At 54 I went from z-rest to prolite to exped and have never looked back.Now I am considering the down mat 9 even thicker and more r-value.love exped
