MegaMat Max 15 Duo

I’ve had an exped megamat max duo for 5 years, and it just got its first leak (I also have a new kitten. Im not saying those two things are related). I emailed Exped and they are repairing it for free and shipping it back to me on their dime, I just had to pay the shipping to send it in (admittedly not cheap). It was a big purchase but having my repair covered after 5 years of owning a piece of gear is pretty outstanding. If the customer service isn’t enough to sell you, this mat is the most comfortable thing I’ve ever slept on outside. Guests prefer it to an air mattress in the house, too, so it’s not collecting dust when it’s not outside

My double Megamat developed its first very small patchable leak after about 8 years of use. This includes being used as my primary bed for several months when I was waiting on a new mattress to arrive. It has also survived some truly vigorous date weekends!

Seconding the MegaMat recommendation. The foam inside does help to mute the movements of another person (as the insomniac in my house).

If you are car camping, look into the Exped MegaMat line. I have the single LXW and used to have the double LXW before upgrading to the Duo Max. They are hands down the reason I'm willing to camp. They have great insulation and cushioning. Putting your pad on a cot will also help your wife because it's more like a regular bed and you don't have to get up from the ground.

I’ve had a Coleman queen double high air mattress for several years and it hasn’t let me down. With all air mattresses it stretches and needs topped up after a couple days but I’ve never woken up on the ground or even had it deflate to the point of being uncomfortable and I’m 6’4 330. I like not having to get down to the ground to get in and out of bed and have found it comfy enough. Your air mattress shouldn’t be failing after a couple uses. Problem with air mattresses is cold weather it’s not a very warm experience. That’s where self inflating pads shine giving you some foam insulation from the cold making for a warmer sleep. I actually just bought the exped megamat max duo because it was on sale and I’ll be camping in mid October for the first time so I’m preparing for cold weather. I haven’t slept on it yet but my brother happened to be visiting when I got it and he tried it and liked it a lot, better than the spare room mattress he normally uses. I’ll have a better comparison come late October but I’ve heard nothing but good things about exped mega mats. My only issue with them being they are basically ground level as opposed to my double high mattress being nearly 20 inches tall and they are absurdly priced.

I love my Exped, we were doing construction in our master and our guest bed hurts my back so I slept on our Exped Duo form a couple months. Slept great!

I love this thing, it's not small but if you're not hiking to the campsite it's worth it. I've even used it for guests at home and slept on it for a few months while we had construction in our master bedroom.

The Exped Max Duo my husband and I have is great, we both toss and turn and it doesn't move much.

I absolutely love my Exped Max Duo sleeping mattress, it has a memory foam top, inflates fairly easily/quickly. It doesn't pack small so better for car trips, but I have a lot of back problems and I can sleep almost better on that then on our mattress at home. We just put a nice soft fleece full sheet over it and we have our own twin size comforters so we're not stealing each others blankets but can still cuddle. I'm a very light sleeper so I also bring my pillow from home, battery powered fan, Ear Plugs or battery powered sound machine (for noisy neighbors), Eye mask

I don’t always use my earplugs or sound machine only if I hear fellow campers loud at night or a generator going or some bullshit like that. If it’s just nature sounds, I’m all for it. Also, when my husband and I go camping we love going on really long heavy duty hikes so being well rested is very important

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.

I have an Exped Megmat Max and it is better than some hotel mattresses I’ve slept on. Go to a local REI or other camping store and check it out.

I have a campervan and sleep in it several times a month. I’ve had a Megamat 15 and it was the most comfortable I have ever slept on and wanted to put it in my house, we have adjustable beds so wouldn’t work. Now I am laying on my mondoking writing this and I say it’s very close to exped. Changed it due to mods in my van.

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.

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.

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

I just bought the MegaMat the Plush 6” thick one! I finally fucking slept the night without tossing and turning every 30 mins and waking up groggy Get the mini electric pump, just turn it on continue with your camp setup and come back in ten mins or so and your done Rolling it up there’s a technique people moan about it but it’s doable just takes 5-10 mins

Bad back here. Exped Megamat Max 15 is fantastic. Worth every ridiculous penny they cost.
