Exped DownMat 7 Pump Sleeping Pad
So much warmth and comfort, you will never have to sleep cold again with the Exped DownMat 7 Pump Sleeping Pad. This super comfortable sleeping pad has down insulation inside and a unique, built-in pump-packsack that doubles as a bellow-pump and a pillow. Very compressible and lightweight, the DownMat packs super small in comparison to other insulated mats and reduces the bulk you would expect with some much warmth. With the DownMat 7 you can carry a lighter sleeping bag, reducing bulk and weight, while experiencing the same level of warmth.
- Two wide mouth valves ensure fast inflation and simple deflation. Just one quarter turn closes the valve cap
- Similar to a sleeping bag, baffles between the mats' chambers eliminate cold spots and promote a stable and supportive air cushion
- Light foam blocks at the mat‘s ends prevent down from escaping or migrating between chambers
- Laminated polyester fabric is both durable and airtight
- Top surface of honeycomb textured fabric provides superior slip resistance and comfort next to the skin
- Seams and valves are all high-frequency welded (most secure method of fusing fabrics and materials) to ensure mat integrity
- Dark colors dry quickly
- Two loops at head end can be used to secure the packsack to the mat when used as a pillow
- Use a lighter weight sleeping bag with a DownMat to achieve consistent overall comfort, and still reduce weight and bulk
- Exped only uses IDFL-certified goose down, specially treated to eliminate the effects of humidity that may reach the mat‘s interior

Warmer and softer
Recently used this mat on a 19 degree overnighter with my 15 degree down sleeping bag. I am a very cold sleeper and previous experiences in these conditions with a Thermarest ProLite 4 left me shivering most of the night. But this time I was nice and warm and the extra cushioning was just an added bonus. The mat weighed 33.1oz on my postal scale which is a bit heavy but I'm convinced I would have to add that much weight to my sleeping bag to be as warm and I still wouldn't have the extra cushioning that this mat offers. In the 0.7 oz bag provided it packs to a 6.25" diameter by 9" long bundle. The integral pump works fine. I was able to pump it up with 60 strokes in about 1 1/2 minutes with reasonable effort. The trick is to seal the intake opening completely with the palm of your hand on the downstroke. The mat measures a full 20" wide by 72" long with no rounded off corners or taper like the Thermarest. But the 3 1/4" thickness is where the real difference is at. Probably still use my Thermarest for ultralight weight warm weather ventures but I'll sure miss the comfort of this mat.

best sleeping pad thus far
I have a deluxe 9 pad that you inflate with the bag. This system takes a bit of getting used to, however, the pad stays inflated through the whole night. Much unlike those pesky air valve pads. I enjoyed using this pad, due to its warmth and considerable comfort. You do not feel the contents of what you are sleeping on, e.g. brush, sticks, ect. I've found that you may also pack a lighter sleeping bag, because of the warmth produced by the pad.
