MegaMat 15

I'm a little late but I'll add a +1 for the exped megamat. I bought the extra wide one last year(solo version) for my Subaru Forester. It doesn't inflate that much on its own and I have to inflate it with the pump but it's very easy. I didn't install a platform in my car and I slept really well on it without the slightest back pain the next morning.

Ahh then my suggestion of the mega mat 15 is way outta the question. Great sleep though. Things huge

\+1 for Exped Megamat Duo. I have two. One LW+ for camping on the ground and one Megamat Auto that fits in my GX460.

Exped has 30 inch foam models, Nemo also has something similar. My wife has the wide Exped Megamat and it is super comfortable. The only issue is that it is quite bulky. I have an extra wide (30 inch) isolated air mattress from Big Agnes (the Boundary Deluxe), it is fine and a lot more compact. But it is a little more noisy and doesn't isolate as well.

Exped megamat. Regular size will set you back about $275 at REI but they have big/tall options

Damn this thread is like an endorsement for exped megamats. We have 2 megamats (medium and long) but plan to get a megamat duo for the wife and kid and me on my own single mat.

There are also many sizes of Megamat that might take more or less time to inflate. I believe they all have the same size valve. My DoubleWIdeLong model takes a while to self inflate part way. I never have that kind of time, so I use a mini inflator.

Keep in mind infants CANNOT sleep on a camping mattress. They lack the back strength to turn themselves over in case they end up on their stomach. Regular air pads and even the MegaMat fully inflated is NOT safe for an infant. You need a very firm mattress for your baby and they should never sleep in the same bed as you. Crib mattresses are usually small enough where they could be brought with you camping. As far as a recommendation for the adults get an Exped MegaMat or one of it's clones. Exped MegaMat 15 (the best on the market) Exped MegaMat 10 ALPS Outback Mat REI Camp Dreamer (note this only has a 1 year warranty) Nemo Roamer 3D Thermarest MondoKing 3D Big Agnes Captain Comfort Sea To Summit Comfort Deluxe Stoic Cloud and Cloud Lux (Stoic is a Backcountry.com brand)

Exped MegaMat Duo 15. The Deep sleep is just not thick enough. I also strongly recommend the Exped Mega pump as it makes packing this beast away way easier.

Exped MegaMat 10 or 15 or one of it's clones. Slyvansport Cloud Layer Big Agnes Captain Comfort Thermarest Mondoking 3D ALPS Outback Mat Sea to Summit Comfort Deluxe Hest Foamy UST Outdoors Filmatic self inflating mat Nemo Roamer 3D Stoic Cloud and Cloud Lux Teton Sports Comfortlite

Exped MegaMat 15. There is no comparison for comfort.

The MegaMat 15 is even better than the 10.

I couldn't tell you personally. Never used the Lost Horizons, Featherstone, ALPS Outback Mat, Sea to Summit or Big Agnes Captain Comfort mats. Can't afford to buy all of them and test them =) I have used the Exped MegaMat 10 and 15, Nemo Roamer 3D, Thermarest Mondoking 3D and Stoic Cloud Lux mats and they are pretty close in comfort to the Exped. The Lost Horizon looks suspiciously close to the Stoic Cloud series. The Stoic Lux (which is the same thickness of the MegaMat 10) was fairly comfortable. No complaints.

Consider that if they don't astm test their R value ratings will be straight up bullshit. With that being said if you are looking for a cheaper clone of the Exped MegaMat than the Acacia could be decent. The Store Cloud Lux of the Featurestone are trustworthy clones of the Exped MegaMat. Semi I floating is way more comfortable than air pads, but has a much larger pack size and weight.

The MegaMat 10 is green and the 15 is more like a maroon red. Some alternatives to the MegaMat include: Nemo Roamer 3D Sea to Summit Comfort Deluxe ALPS Mountaineering Outback Mat Big Agnes Captain Comfort Thermarest Mondoking 3D Stoic Cloud and Cloud Lux Heat Foamy REI Camp Dreamer (warning; only a 1 year warranty) UST Outdoors Filmatic

Exped Megamat or one of it's clones. You will never sleep better in a tent than with that thing.

Try the MegaMat 15. That's pretty damn close to a high quality home mattress.

Exped MegaMat 15 or one of its clones (Sea To Summit Comfort Deluxe, Big Agnes Captain Comfort, Nemo Roamer 3D, ALPS Outback Mat etc). Well worth the money. You will want to get an air pump for this. For the Exped mats the Megapump is totally worth it.

MegaMat is the way

Cot + MegaMat for the win

Exped MegaMat or one of its clones (Big Agnes Captain Comfort, ALPS Outback Mat, Thermarest Mondoking 3D etc) Exped MegaMat Pillow or Nemo Filo Better quality tents from Marmot, Naturehike, Nemo etc. skip the Coleman and core stuff. Tent fan Lighting Flextail gear air pump

Look into the zempire monstabed. It’s a combo of air mattress and foam. I like it more than my exped megamat 15

Like others, I love my exped megamat. It's fantastic for car camping (and they're on sale right now at Sports Basement and other places I'm sure). I paid $193 last year for a long, extra wide megamat 10 at SB with their sale plus a promo code. It's a combination of air and foam, so you won't get cold like you would with just air and it's ridiculously easy to fine tune the firmness. I also bought a megamat 15 a year ago to replace my bed and haven't needed to add air once. That I purchased through Bob Leisure, however, I don't know if their prices are affected by tariffs. Either way, both mats were worth every penny and I would've paid more.. they're just that comfortable.
