Exped  MegaMat Max Sleeping Pad - Long X-Wide

I am a side sleeper and I bough the pad for getting some comfort when I sleep in my SUV before many climbs. I love the thing, it is as good as most mattresses you'd find at home. The first night I received the thing, I blew it up and laid down on it and fell asleep immediately, I have used it many times throughout the winter both sleeping in my SUV and sleeping in tents, the R value is awesome and for car camping it is an awesome pad. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a warm and comfy pad. I also impressed with it that I am thinking about getting the double for when my wife comes camping with me, or if we had a guest that needed a place to sleep and we were short a bed.

We car camp but the past several trips have been so uncomfortable on other foam hybrid or air mattress setups. After a lot of research I gave the Exped MegaMat Max a try and my whole perspective changed. I took advice from another review and bought two singles and used the Universal Coupling Straps to join together. This allowed custom firmness and no movement translation between mats. I might have doubts about camping in bear active areas after being woken by a bear sniffing outside our tent (no food to had) but I never for a second doubted the comfort of this mat. Absolutely worth the investment.

I have tried several car camping sleeping pads and this one works best for me. I am a side sleeper and generally have a hard time sleeping well while camping. I had a hest foamy before this and would wake up frequently with numb shoulders, a sore back and sore hips. I think the megamat works better because I can adjust the firmness to my liking.

Unquestionably the most comfortable sleeping pad available. Self inflates well with only a minimal amount of topping off necessary. It is bulky when packed but that's unavoidable, given it's size. I used during a 7 day bike ride and slept as well as I do at home.

This is an incredibly comfortable sleeping pad for car camping. I was using the Sea to Summit comfort plus but this pad, while much larger to pack, offered much better sleep. I’ve used it twice now and slept great both times. I highly recommend a small portable air pump to fill and some patience to deflate. I only wish Exped would restock stores with their fitted sheet. I picked up a Hest LW sheet and it fits but just barely.

This mat is amazing. Obviously not a backpacking mat but great for car camping and raft trips. The most comfortable mat I’ve ever used. Will use when grandkids stay over.

The perfect solution for a great night sleep. As close to the comfort level of sleeping in your own bed at home as you can possibly get. Adjust the firmness according to personal comfort. Especially if you have back issues, the Megamat Max is a must. If you don't have back issues, I'm sure this mat will last when you are older and get back issues. Win for the short and long term. This is not a purchase, this is an investment in your health and well-being.

I am just afraid I won’t be able to go back and sleep on any other camping mattress anymore…

Luxury! Very plush and comfortable, never felt the ground through this 6" thick Megamat! Inflate to your desired firmness and sleep great!

Love this thing, I could use it as a regular bed. I'm hoping you will make a wool mattress pad/cover for this one too!
