Expeditor Mega mat?
Hi
I'm asking about the Exped MegaMat. I know they're not super light weight but I'm old, 6'5" 100Kg and have a bad back so happy to carry the extra weight and bulk. Has anyone used these and are they comfortable? Thanks Snowdog |
I've been using an Exped 9DL (thick and wide) for about ten years. So extremely comfortable that I've used it in preference to a bed.

Thermarest works for me too.
I've got a few prolites. They are okay but for days or even months on end, they don't offer enough support and comfort for me anymore. I use the Thermarest NeoAir. And the XL version. It packs REALLY small and it's ridiculously thick and comfortable. The only downside is that it isn't self inflating. You can buy a pump (£35 though) although these get mixed reviews. I do a lot of running and fitness so I blow mine up manually. It still takes 20-25 BIG lungfulls though. https://www.outdoorgear.co.uk/Therm-...SABEgJtzfD_BwE |

I too have found that we need more comfort as we age. The 2 inch thick Thermarest that used to serve me well across Europe was no longer comfortable so put it on E-bay. Replaced it with the Trangoworld Comfort Air, much better. At 65 cm wide, its good for side sleepers, and at 9cm thick provides better support.
At about 800g, not the lightest, but quality is good and comes with an integrated pump that means I don't have to blow humid air into it that eventualy breeds bacteria and fungus. details here. www.trekkinn.com/outdoor-mountain/trangoworld-confort-air/136403736/p |
Old thread but happy to add my 2 bits.
At we have each thermo rest 3/4 lite pads for backpacking for many years, I have a newer very tiny nemo pad, collapsing bunks, a large... Huge double thermo rest camp pad, and as of 3 years ago a double EXPED pad. On anything backpacking or motorcycle travel we take the EXPED, even when out solo. It my be a little large than our single pads but the luxury of a double bed when solo is worth it. Mid 50ish here. It's been comfortable from warm summer to frosty mornings.
