Decathlon - Forclaz MT500 Air Sleeping Pad

I have an EE 20F and used it this past weekend when temps got down to 37F. With the help of a warm, fuzzy pair of sleep-only socks, and my merino base layer, I was toasty warm. So you're fine on that front. The pad... I used a r1.5 in a hammock setup, and ended up having to wrap some of the quilt under me to give even the tiniest bit of extra insulation. I'd recommend you do as u/savagedude4027 and u/nomnomad said and get a closed cell foam to put on top of the current pad.

Give the Decathlon Forclaz a chance. It is about 500g, comes in the size of a beer bottle and it costs you about 50€. I had one on my trip from Germany to Portugal and back and i still use it. It had two punctures that I’ve repaired. It‘s not that loud in the night and it can be inflated with roundabout twelve deep breath’s. I had a wonderful sleep on it.

Some people find hammocks comfortable, but it can sometimes be tricky to find two trees at the right distance. Sometimes it could get cold from below. Personally, I'm quite happy with the MT500 Air inflatable trekking mat from Decathlon. The pack size is really decent, it's a bit more robust than much more expensive ultralight mats, and the price is fair for what you get.

If you're looking for the best value for your money, I can highly recommend the Forclaz MT500 Air L from Decathlon. I personally own several high-end sleeping pads and can make a direct comparison. And honestly, for the average summer camper, the more expensive models don't justify the price.

I'm a side sleeper and I'm absolutely fine with it, thanks to its 7 cm thickness and stable design. However, the 52 cm width of the L version might feel a bit narrow if you have broad shoulders or tend to move around during sleep. For extra comfort, you might want to consider the XL version with 65 cm width.

the inflatable one from decathlon is comfortable. i thinks it is the MT500 Air.

I did seven months bikepacking and use the decathlon house brand half mattress blow up that’s about the size of a coke can when rolled up with Aussie disposal self inflating as a base that’s the size of a Billy and slept like a log

No this one [https://www.decathlon.com.au/p/inflatable-trekking-mattress-mt500-air-l-180-x-52-cm-1-person-simond-8799965.html?indexName=prod\_pim\_v1\_index&queryID=39bb07b5b0282eb14371b2300bea7500](https://www.decathlon.com.au/p/inflatable-trekking-mattress-mt500-air-l-180-x-52-cm-1-person-simond-8799965.html?indexName=prod_pim_v1_index&queryID=39bb07b5b0282eb14371b2300bea7500)

I quite like the Decathlon MT500 air insulator ones. I started out with the XL size but after a year it developed a leak in a seam. Decathlon replaced it and I accepted the regular sized one in its place as I should have bought that one from the start. R value of 3.3 They are relatively inexpensive. I find them relatively comfortable. As you would expect the regular size one packs smaller and is slightly lighter. Yes the original XL one did develop a leak but, touch wood, it's replacement has been stellar so far. Obviously because of my problems with the last one I'm yet to be 100% convinced about their durability but I've slept on the new one 11 times so far 🤞

I'm still loving my Decathlon MT500 Air - it's not insulated, but I slept on it down to freezing temperatures, though that wasn't really that nice. The normal one is about 50€ and weighs 500g, they have an insulated version for 80€ now, but that one is heavier of course. As for a sleeping bag, below 100€ is hard unless you don't expect nights below 10°C.

I used to sleep on [this](https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/inflatable-trekking-mattress-size-l-mt500-180-x-52-cm/189392/c344c344m8799965) mattress from decathlon. Used it for an one year journey from Europe to Kyrgyzstan. I loved the mattress, slept well, no punctures and you could fold it very small. The thing is, when the temperatures dropped, the mattress is not so suitable anymore. I learned to look at the R-value of the mattresses. If you go to sleep below 5 decrees celsius, I would at least look for an R-value above 3.0. I recently bought the [Rab ultrasphere 1.5](https://rab.equipment/eu/ultrasphere-1-5-sleep-mat?queryID=7c0e8b4d59e9a38c4bfad331f687a7b4&objectID=63330&indexName=rab_live_eu_products&_gl=1*1hjlxj8*_up*MQ) . I am still using the mattress from the decathlon in summer, but I will this mattress in the wintertime. The [decathlon version with higher R-value](https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/lightweight-inflatable-trekking-mattress-size-l-mt500-l-180-x-52-cm/311475/c242m8853280) was not an option, because it was packed way to big. So, check the R-value if you go in warmer conditions, and also check the size of mattress unpacked. Good luck!

Just bought that one and its huge

ahh fuck. I was shocked when it came cause i did the research and took the one with smallest volume but i must have missed the difference in huge size difference of the XL and other sizes which explains my problem. Unbelievable size difference

Assuming this is pretty much for summer use only, I have made decent experiences with the decathlon pads. 500g and packs fairly small (this is relative to the price though) and it has held up well during the trips I’ve used it. I think it’s called mt500 air and comes in different sizes. Around 50€ last time I checked.
