Inflatable mats
Why choose an inflatable sleeping pad?
Going on a camping holiday, a long hike or a trek requires you to be well prepared and, above all, to have the appropriate equipment to be able to sleep in the wild. You need a tent and a sleeping bag. If you are also looking for a comfort level that is almost as good as the mattress you have at home, you will need an inflatable sleeping pad or even a self-inflating mattress for even more practicality. Increasingly more commonly used, these models are easy to pack and will allow you to have a good’s night sleep to be ready for every stage of your excursions. Of course, as with any piece of equipment, it must be chosen carefully according to your needs, the type of outing and the time of year.

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.
