I am laying on my brand new MegaMat Max and I have to say last night sleep was the best I ever had camping. It is pricey but the best mattress I have slept on.
Not permanently but my visitors love my Exped mega mat. It gets used in preference to my sofa bed. [https://www.snowys.com.au/megamat-max-lxw-burgundy](https://www.snowys.com.au/megamat-max-lxw-burgundy)
I needed a sleeping mat for low temperatures so the high R rating on this is fantastic. It is also the most comfortable sleeping mat ever used.
A major impetus for buying this was my diagnosis of degenerative disc disease. It's very comfortable if you can still get up and down off the ground. I use a milk crate to help me get back up.
I use the Megamat Max (15cm/6” thick) and it’s like sleeping on my mattress at home. So comfy!! I pair it with a short cot so I can get in and out of “bed” easily.
that is great to hear! I’ve really not heard much either way about their customer service. i’ve put my megamat max through the wringer for a few years now and it has been flawless.
coleman makes a big and tall bag. nothing fancy but adequate for sure. been using mine for a few years now and I am very pleased with it. excellent for the price. i also have an Exped Megamat max to sleep on and it is fantastic. Definitely pricey but worth it. I also own a nice cot but never use it, the exped on the ground is very comfy without needing the extra weight and space of the cot. I have also used one of those tall queen sized inflatable air mattresses which sucks on its own…but if you get it very inflated and stiff and put a mattress topper on it, it can be very comfortable but takes up a lot of space.
They are worth every cent, we have one in our RTT and it is super comfortable
Exped Megamat 15 Max. The absolute most comfortable mat you will ever own. Want to be super baller? Add the Luxwool topper for it.
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
