Finally able to camp in comfort again!
I splurged on this with my dividend & I'm so happy I did! This sleeping pad kept me asleep, warm, & completely pain-free by morning, despite my back problems & being a side sleeper. Looking forward to frequent camping trips again now that & have this pad!

The most comfortable pad I've ever used
I've gotten creakier as an older adult and needed something more comfortable to sleep on. Since getting a knee replacement, I've been unable to find a pad with enough cushioning to avoid knee pain when I was lying down in my tent. I've also sometimes woken up with a sore back. The MegaMat is far more comfortable than anything I've ever used. It's like bringing a twin bed into your tent--roomy, warm, and padded. Like a real bed. No more stuffing a pillow under my knee or waking up uncomfortable in the middle of the night.
It's great to be be able to just toss the MegaMat in my tent with the Inflate valve open, wait 20 minutes, and only have to hand-pump it a few times to get it to the desired firmness. I found that unlike my previous air mattresses, it holds its firmness in my tent over multiple days despite changes in temperature from daytime to nighttime.
A good design feature is having two separate valves for inflating and deflating. The MegaMat deflates easily to put in its stuff sack when traveling. Exped's video about deflation is helpful. Just open the Deflate valve, fold it in thirds, sit on it to get the air out, and then unfold it and roll it.
Exped includes helpful directions for care. Make sure you follow the directions about the first inflation, keeping it fully inflated for 24 hours before use to make sure that the memory foam inflates all the way after that. I trust Exped knows what they're talking about when they say if you keep it stored in its stuffsack, it will require a lot more pumping to get to full inflation. That's comparable to other kinds of air mattresses.
A couple things to note. First, once the pad self-inflates, should you want to add a little more air to make it more firm, it can be hard to get the hand pump to snap on to the valve because the inflated mattress has some give to it. It's doable, just requires some patience. Second, Exped advises that you store the mat inflated for best performance. Given its large size, this could be a challenge if you don't have a lot of space.
Thanks to the MegaMat, I'm able to continue car-camping pain-free. It's worth every penny.

Best base camp mat
I use this mat on top of a Disc-o-Bed cot at my off-grid cabin. Follow the instructions. The first inflate takes some time, so read the instructions and do it at home the first time and you are ready to go. For "at camp" sleep quality it's almost on par with my very expensive memory foam mattress and I can side sleep in comfort!

Close to my bed at home
This is as close as I could find to my bed at home. Inflation is easy. The included pump is not worth much but I just inflated it with my own lungs no problem. Its super supportive. I only wish that it wasn't XL - I"m only 60 inches tall so I don't need the extra length. However, the comfort is worth the extra work. Love it!

Even better than expected
We have always loved everything about camping except the actual sleeping part. These mats really were a game-changer for us! SO much more comfortable then I even expected. We are now planning multiple-night camping trips. Cannot recommend enough! Super easy to inflate and worth the $ for sure.

Incredible Sleeping Pad !! I purchased this for a four day camping trip and was not disappointed. No doubt this is the best nights sleep i have ever had camping. I am a side sleeper and this pad was perfect. I think it's more comfortable than my bed at home. Well worth the price....

I have 2 small dogs 10 and 14 pounds each. Would they be an issue sleeping with me in this pad
As long as you protect the pad from their nails and teeth, it should be fine. I don't want my 75 lb lab on it though.

The previous version of this pad came with a strap if you wanted to link two air mattresses together. Do this newer version also come with this strap?
​Coupling straps are not included with this sleeping pad.

What is the difference between the Exped Megamat 7.5 and the 10?
​The 7.5 has a lower R-value, it is not as thick, it weighs slightly less, and it packs down slightly smaller.

I need to know the liter volume of this air mattress. I am trying to replace the bag it comes in because it is too difficult to get it back into the bag it came in.
We do not have that information available. We encourage you to contact Exped directly.
