"It’s is SO MUCH more quiet than the s7 it ramped up the suction power from 4000 to 19000 yet I can let it clean my office room while being in a call now."
"Extremely quiet compared to our last one to the point where we can have it running while my partner is in work meetings (besides emptying water and dust bin, but that is 10 seconds of loud x 2)."
"pads that lift on carpet so you can run it while the baby naps"

"Just had my second camp out with it. 0 issues with warmth at 50F , unsurprisingly. Also at 60f I didn ’t sleep hot so that ’s nice too."
"I can take it down to like 25-30F very comfortably."
"20 degrees F comfortably from below. Quilt wasn't up to it"

"Never had a blister, no support issues and most of the time I forget to cinch the laces right at the trail head and I don't even notice. ... Incredibly comfortable, right out of the box."
"Foot-shaped toe box ... super roomy ... Great for comfort and natural splay"
"Love my S to S pad also. ... Rivals my Select Comfort bed at home. ... Bought a back up in case they go out of business."

"didn’t get sore back after a week on it"
"I have bad discs in my neck and back, and can still side sleep on an Exped. ... They are a gamechanger for me."
"I have a lot of back problems and I can sleep almost better on that then on our mattress at home. ... My husband and I love our Exped mattress, we sleep great on it when we go camping. I tried my friend's cot and had the most debilitating back pain the next day."

"$70 duct taped cr box outperformed $1000 iqair."
"Unfortunately I had an orbi and I learned what all these terms meant while troubleshooting! ... Why should you spend so much on an Orbi and yet have to do so much extra work"
"is it worth it? I might say no, because there are many competing models out there now that have the similar features and go for cheaper, so that reduces the value in paying so much for an exped branded mat"

"Over time, the Exped began to leak ... As best I can tell, the rubber lining inside the fabric begins to slowly degrade and develop pinhole leaks. ... You never hear leaking air. You just wake up in the morning with your hip touching the ground (I’m a side sleeper)."
"of the two I bought both of them wouldn’t hold air in them. It’s the valve system they use, it leaks air."
"But recently its started losing air to the point where I have to blow it up again every night (and basically wake up on the floor.)"

"the "self-inflate" part is a lie ... Well I haven't and it doesn't. It just sits there."
"You do still need to inflate it yourself but I definitely recommend practicing getting the pressure right. You don't want it so high that you're sleeping on a board, but so low that you sag too much into the pad. It does take a bit to get used to the way it feels when you have it just right."

"the exped still makes noise ... the noise caused by the sleeping bag sliding around on the pad ... I turn over nonstop all night long and am insanely sensitive to noise."
I have an Exped. Not loud. And of them can make some noise sliding about on say tent floors, depending on the relative texture etc of the fabrics. Not way to know for sure until you try it. Or, more easily, just use something between them if it's an issue.
r/CampingandHiking • Sleeping Mats Recommendations? ->I tried long term sleeping on an Exped. They're a seif inflating pad. It did not last a full year. The fabric in those is glued to the foam, and as it turns out tossing and turning can eventually break that bond, and the fabric blister.
r/CampingGear • Anyone sleeping on their camping mattress permanently 365? ->Yes. They were going to honor the warranty, but it was less than a year so just easier to drop it at REI where I bought it and get a refund. Definite bummer; great mattress even at home. If they ever do a long lasting home version I'll be all over it...literally. :)
r/CampingGear • Anyone sleeping on their camping mattress permanently 365? ->Support. I had a hole in my Exped, out of warranty, had to pay for shipping but they repaired it and shipped it back for free. Super nice of them.
r/camping • What are you getting with a $200+ sleeping pad ->My exped is a piece of magic.
r/bicycletouring • Sleeping pad recommendations ->My exped is really comfortable and warm
r/bikepacking • Recommendations for sleeping pad ->I've used it for about 80 days over several trips. It's a very robust build.
r/bikepacking • Recommendations for sleeping pad ->Same. OP, given that you have the space, I would recommend memory foam or something similar. I use a 6” trifold mattress, but in your case, given that you have the space and have trouble sleeping, I would recommend a normal one-piece mattress for you. If you do use the Exped, the secret is to adjust the air pressure. Everyone is different, but for me, if I let out air until my butt just barely touched the floor while sitting on it, that would be ideally comfortable (though not as comfortable as memory foam) when I laid down on it.
r/overlanding • Most comfortable long term sleeping mattresses/pads? ->I had a Tensor and it was uncomfortable for me as well. I’ve found Exped inflatable pads comfortable. My favorite right now though is the Neoloft.
r/backpacking • Are inflatable pads uncomfortable for anyone else? ->Exped pads are highly underrated!
r/Ultralight • Very poor sleep on the NeoAir X Lite NXT. Recommendations? ->After various attempts of finding the right set up: Exped on top of a cot. Watch for REI sales for the Exped, and watch the garage sale area for the cot.
r/camping • Camping Cots ->Any Exped Med-Wide pads fit the bill. Incredibly comfy to boot. They are more expensive but a good nights sleep it worth it imo. Best investment I made for camping. I got my Deep Sleep for just over $100 on sale.
r/camping • Need 72in long 3-4in Thick Self Inflating Sleeping Pad ->Indeed. Throw it on a cot and it’s almost better than my bed at home 100%
r/camping • Need 72in long 3-4in Thick Self Inflating Sleeping Pad ->Exped is one of the most popular (for good reason) and on sale at REI currently. We have a Megamat duo mat that is amazingly comfortable. I also have a deep sleep mat for solo. Def bigger/heavier than basic inflatable but 100% worth it for the comfort. They make several different thicknesses depending on what you'd like but even the thinner mats are extremely comfortable and warm.
r/camping • Self Inflating Mat Suggestions? ->Yea I think that's their entry level self inflating mat. Thinner than the others but still warm. I got it to go with my zenbivy and it is great! You do still need to inflate it yourself but I definitely recommend practicing getting the pressure right. You don't want it so high that you're sleeping on a board, but so low that you sag too much into the pad. It does take a bit to get used to the way it feels when you have it just right. I'd probably recommend putting some silicone dabs down on your cot so that it won't slip/slide, or use some kinda of silicon tape for the same reason.
r/camping • Self Inflating Mat Suggestions? ->Exped Deepsleep self inflating pad + Zenbivy system. So comfy! If you need a cot to get higher off the ground to make getting in/out easier then any one that matches of size should work. I’m partial to Coleman Trailhead 2 but most are the same, just make sure of weight capacity if you’re a fluffy boi like me.
r/camping • Best, most "home in my own bed"-like sleep system? ->Exped is the current king of the semi self inflating mattresses but there are other worthy considerations which are more affordable, especially on sale. I went with a Lost Horizon I found on clearance for half price. Probably not as bomb proof as the Exped, but after about a dozen trips this summer it’s going strong without issues. The bottom line is these type of mattresses are exponentially more comfortable than anything else on the market. I will never go back. The only drawback is they don’t roll up small.
r/camping • Is a self inflating sleeping pad better than an air mattress? ->A sleeping pad is not the spot you sacrifice for the minuscule weight savings possible. I use an Exped mat that is like 4” thick, extra wide, XL, and insulated and I’m not even sure it’s heavier than the 1” Thermarest I used for 20 yrs prior.
