This should be illegal to sell as sleeping mat
It is 3 am in the quiet camping place and I simply can not sleep. The reason is this sleeping mat. It is so awfully loud squicking that you wake yourself up every time you even move your hand. It seems like every time you even think to move it starts this noise.
I cannot imagine a product that is so far from its intended purpose. I would say its so noisy and loud it ruins the idea of sleep.
I would even suggest that it should be mandatory to label noise level in decibels like they do for car tires, that could save someone from mishap of suffering sleepless night like I and my family on our journey today.
- Advantages
- Lightweight
- Easy to inflate
- Disadvantages
- Leaky
- Noisy
- Squicky

Used it for a week while camping on top of a sleep mat, I am very satisfied very comfortable, the only way were you would feel the floor is if you are sit instead of being lay down.
Also packs quite small

The mat I brought was a rectangular wide.
The sea to summit mat that I brought from this company. Had 4 punctures from the welds. In one day.
Now its durability is now a concern for me. Especially when they are all in a diagonal all next to each other. Its welds will not hold for much longer. And I'm on a long tour. The mat is only used in the tent. And a ground sheet is used. And only stay at campsites. Before I purchased this mat I was assured that it is durable. A cheap 12 pounds have lasted a year. And still OK. I will leave another review later on my tour.
