Keep shopping
- Each half of the Duo mat fills separately, allowing users to customize their firmness; and, if 1 sleeper moves around, their motion is less likely to disturb the other sleeper
- Duo sizing can save weight, as a Duo pad is generally lighter than the weight of 2 separate pads combined
- Mat is 3 in. thick, providing ample comfort against rocky, rooty, uneven terrain
- Lightweight, 20-denier 100% recycled polyester fabric has a nonslip finish helps keep you on the pad
- Interior hydrolysis-resistant laminate is impervious to bacteria and moisture, which can degrade typical polyurethane coatings, ensuring an airtight mat for many years
- Internal welded baffles separate air chambers, creating a fully cushioned and stable sleep surface and preventing cold spots without excessive weight and bulk
- Air chambers are oriented head-to-toe, so the pad becomes slightly wider when weighted
- Oversize outer chambers form the Exped Comfort Cradle, helping to keep you centered and secured on the pad
- Vertical baffle orientation also reduces end-of-baffle welds, increasing lifespan of the pad
- The higher the R-value, the more insulated the mat
- This mat has an R-value of 1.3, which makes it best suited for use during warm summer conditions or when temps are expected to be above 50°F
- This pad is also a great option for indoor use or in combination with a foam mat for added comfort
- Durable, easy-to-use, one-way Flat Valves provide a high volume of airflow so you can quickly inflate/deflate the pad
- Flat Valves also eliminate the hard-to-soft interface of standard pad valves, reducing wear points and prolonging pad life
- Tapered design (head to foot) saves weight and reduces bulk when packed
- Medium size tapers from 41.3 in. wide at the head to 32.3 in. wide at the foot
- Long Wide size tapers from 51.2 in. wide at the head to 40.6 in. wide at the foot
- Includes Schnozzel pump bag for inflation (weight: 2.1 oz.), a stuff sack for protection during transportation, and a repair kit with adhesive and fabric patches

comfortable mat, but not durable
1 year ago
My partner and I loved this camping mat—but only got to use it three times before some of the air chambers at one end split. Definitely not worth the money!

Light and comfy

This pad is comfortable and light. It inflates easily and each side has it's own valve so it's very adjustable. As with many of Exped's pads, if you over-inflate, you can blow a baffle, so be gentle. Just be very aware that it has zero insulation, so if you're planning to use this outside of the summer months, you will be cold.
