Decathlon - Trek 100 Folding Foam Hiking Mattress

If you don't mind foam sleeping pads, Decathlon's folding sleeping pad is really good. https://www.decathlon.com/products/backpacking-foam-folding-mattress-trek-100-174619?adept-product=backpacking-foam-folding-mattress-trek-100-174619

yes, the decathlon naming scheme is quite confusing because MT500 refers to the type and “level” of sport, not the product. i initially assumed you were talking of inflatables. in winter, i bring a ccf pad in addition to my inflatable because it weighs little and ups my pads r rating through stacking.

honestly, the decathlon mats are the cheapest quality mats you will get. if youre really strapped for money, you could get a decathlon ccf mat instead of inflatable, it will be less comfortable but still warm enough.

Check out the Decathlon foldabletrekking foam pad (https://www.decathlon.ch/en/p/matelas-mousse-de-trekking-pliable-mt500-180-x-55-cm-1-personne/_/R-p-174619). Costs around 20 Bucks, 370 g, R 2.1 ZLite is around 50 bucks, 410 g, R 1.7 So cheaper, lighter and warmer than the ZLite! Slept on it multiple times and was happy with it.

Every inflatable pad I've ever had, from a variety of different brands including Sea to Summit and Rab, insulated and not insulated, self inflating and normal, all of them have failed on me within a few months of use in tents with pretty sturdy floors and after checking for sharp rocks below. Only one has ever had an actual puncture, as well. All the other ones had undetectable, unfixable leaks that made them deflate in 30-60 mins. Only one that hasn't failed so far is ironically my oldest and most used one, an uninsulated decathlon pad. I never go without a ccf pad anymore. If cutting weight is a necessity, I just drop the inflatable pad.

I just got the 20 bucks Decathlon ccf pad and actually manage to sleep ok on it when I don't bring an inflatable. It's fairly warm as well, have used it down to -12 C in winter, placed over an uninsulated inflatable mat, and it was almost enough (had to add a few clothes layered under the ccf pad). Just went on a longer basecamping trip to the Alps (so just staying at campings) and guess what? My new fucking Sea to Summit Ultralite decided holding air is not its thing despite very careful handling and making sure it wasn't left inflated during the day. Would have saved a lot of trouble to just bring the stupid ccf pad. It weighs about 400 grams, as well, so there's not a big difference in weight, just comfort.
