Inflatable mats
Why choose an inflatable sleeping mat?
Heading out on a trek or a backpacking trip requires thorough preparation and, above all, the right gear to ensure a good night’s sleep in the great outdoors. You’ll need to think about your tent and your sleeping bag. For added comfort, it’s also worth packing an inflatable sleeping mat, such as those from Nemo, or a self-inflating model. It’s lightweight and easy to carry, allowing you to rest properly and recharge your energy for every stage of your adventure. Naturally, as with any piece of outdoor equipment, you should choose it carefully according to your needs, the type of trip, and the season.

Increasingly more rugged, lightweight, comfortable and compact models
Everybody knows hiking, backpacking and going on a trek requires to select carefully the equipment you carry to avoid being overloaded. An inflatable sleeping pad may seem too much to some, who might prefer a very lightweight floor mat. However, in recent years, inflatable sleeping pads have become lighter while retaining their insulation characteristics. It is now easy to pack one as they are compact to occupy as little space as possible on or in your backpack. In addition, they will follow you anywhere thanks to their ruggedness that guarantees great durability.
Which air mattress to choose?
Pay attention to the size
This may seem evident, but it is important to remember to choose the right dimensions for your inflatable mat. Manufacturers always mention the length of the mattress and the user size it fits. Making it easier to pick the right size for you.
Depending on the R-Value
This is another essential criterion. Inflatable sleeping pads all have an R-Value which defines the level of insulation that will protect you from the cold ground. The bigger the number, the better the protection. For example, an R-Value of 1 is designed for summer use, while from 6, you can use the pad in any season.
Strength, an important element
Depending on your usage and the types of outings, you will need to consider the strength of your inflatable sleeping pad. This element is expressed in deniers, indicating the weight of the fabric yarn used, on a length of 9 metres. You may encounter 40D nylon or 75D polyester designs. Of course, the higher the number, the stronger the fabric. Some models will offer Ripstop fabrics, for superior abrasion resistance.
