[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Such a comfortable sleeping pad, durable with a soft top that prevents sliding and a design that eliminates the “ crinkly” noise that can be very annoying. The insulation is very warm , and so comfy that I had no problem sleeping and keeping warm. It has a hybrid design, with a plush foam topper covering a lot of the pads top. The foam topper confirming support to my body and stabilize the sleeping pad. Overall it’s a great sleeping pad , and very comfortable, also convenient.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so impressed with this sleeping pad, so I can’t wait to go camping soon. We tested it so far at home and it is much better than my previous camping mattress. I am also obsessed with the color, and I want to buy the same but double pad for me and my husband, when we camp together. It is not the smallest pad, but you get better comfort over weight. So I am not sure that it is an option for backpacking, but if you don’t mind 4 lb weight you can bring it. I inflated it with my small portable pump and it took me just a couple of minutes. I used to sleep on the inflated mattress when i camp, but having extra foam topper provides better rest definitely. Recommend it to everyone, I think it is a great investment for your comfort.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This insulated sleeping pads design is perfect in its carry weight, size, and warmth. Weighting in at only 4.4 pounds it's not going to add too much to your pack if your hiking. The bag is compact and will easily hook onto your backpack. It's about the easiest unit to inflate, but even more so deflate. The air value flips easily to let the air out too repack it. Being a full 5" thick this really adds a ton of comfort, warm, and insulation to keep both comfortable and warm if it's cold weather. At 78" long this will easily be long enough for even a taller person. The 29" width was perfect to cover my entire cot chair. I tried it out in overnight temperatures in the upper 40's and it made a huge difference with the 5" buffer under me. It was much more comfortable and kept me way warmer than if I hadn't had it. The material looks to be very durable and made with good quality standards. I've been camping for over 30 years and the gear can make or break your trip. This will definitely make our outtings better. I'm looking forward to lots of use from this. The only thing I didn't see indicated was weather the bag or pad material is waterproof or water repellent. Otherwise, I'd say this looks like a great product!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] At first we didn’t know how to inflate it. We had to look it up online because there was no obvious instructions included. That’s why I gave it 4 stars. Once we figured it out, it pretty genius and easy to inflate and deflate. It’s very cushioned when inflated and long! We don’t have any trips planned and it was pouring down rain to take it outside to rest so we tested it on our hard bathroom floor. It was great and comfortable.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an incredibly comfortable sleep mat! First, it's pretty easy to inflate -- just be careful of the valve and little green rubber flap as it is removable and could get lost. The cover is also a tad hard to fit on. Second, once inflated, it's super comfortable! We have yet to take this camping, but the kids have had it in the family room since we inflated it to lie on while watching TV. The floor is travertine and you don't feel the floor hardeness at all. It's just a good, firm cushion. So much better than air mattresses!!! I will say that before we inflated it, but after we took it out of the bag, I tried to roll it up and put it back into the bag. That was seriously impossible! I do wish manufacturers would be more realistic with pouches. No one can ever get these things rolled up as tight as when it came from the factory -- please make bags for pads, tents, sleeping bags, inflatables, etc. bigger such that normal folks can fit the item back in! Otherwise, great quality and easy set up.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is not for backpacking. It’s too heavy and doesn’t easily pack back down again. That said it is so comfortable and it’s long enough that both myself or my husband could use it. It’s also wide enough for bodies of all sizes. I’m not sure I fully believe the 7 R value but it will definitely keep you warm in the shoulder seasons. You’ll want a portable pump because the pump sack would take a really long time. The sheet like material on the top part is really soft and I love that where you put your feet is not the same material so it will be easier to clean.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This insulated Klymaloft sleeping pad was definitely an interesting product to try because we like to sometimes camp out in our backyard while also having something useful when we are out and about. It was super easy to setup right out of the box and both inflation and deflation were super quick. I liked that it was very comfortable once fully inflated and it had just the right amount of cushion that made sleep enjoyable. Overall, this was a great product that we can easily have ready for our next outdoors adventure.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The size is perfect for a cot mattress. The soft cover definitely makes it feel warmer than just the normal vinyl. As for portability, if you don’t have to haul it far it would be great, but for backpacking it is kind of heavy and really hard to get back into the bag. I am not a big fan of the pump sack, it was really hard on my wrists. It is nice to have that option but a pump makes it so much easier. Overall really nice mat that is comfortable and will help keep the chill out.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow! This mat is so comfy compared to others! It’s super easy to inflate and deflate and it’s somewhat compact! It seemed like it was pretty sturdy when I used it and very durable as well. It had a lot of cushion and I felt like I was almost sleeping on an actual bed! To inflate, you just need air and the bag! Super easy! This is a must on a camping trip!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This sleeping pad is feature-packed and is a serious upgrade from our ancient old ones, with one (major) caveat: the inflation mechanism is fiddly and doesn’t work super well. The mat has a beautiful and thick layer of padding that makes it more comfortable than a strictly air mattress. One of the thoughtful features is the stuff sack with the roll-down handle that makes it serve and easy to carry in travel. This pad is thick, but not impossibly so, so it might be best for bike or car camping, but it isn’t unwieldy. Not the heaviest, but might be a bit much for backpacking. It included patching kit for any leaks that might pop up, which is considerate. I tried two pumps to inflate the pad and after 30 minutes, I finally got it full, but it was a struggle. That might be enough of a downside to skip it, but this Klymit pad is so much more comfortable than our previous pads that I am willing to deal with the hassle. Worth keeping in mind, though!
