Ultralight Sleeping Pad – Durable, Inflatable & Ultra-Compact – Best Sleeping Pads for Backpacking, Camping, Travel, Hiking – Lightweight Camp Sleep Pad Mat Air Mattress 14.4 OZ

So I've backpacked for years with traditional roll up foam and or roll up self inflating pads. They were bulky and usually so big they had to be attached outside the backpack. This pad is a great innovation because not only is it very lightweight and compact but it is also incredibly comfortable. The material and seams appear to be durable enough to survive anything but a direct hit with a sharp object. Just in case there are a couple of patches included. Very easy to inflate and deflate. It's early springtime and I haven't ventured out yet, just tried it at home, but I'm very excited to get this baby up into the mountains.

This is an awsome pad for trying to pack light and small as possible. I used it for a backpacking trip through some slot canyons and it was easy and quick to setup and roll back into its orignal size like how it was when it was first shipped to me. Though it was convieniet to carry its light weight and small size it was uncomfortable to sleep on. I would roll and turn alot and wake up a bit sore... But of course their never is something as comfy as your bed espacially when camping.

It is portable, lightweight, and easy to inflate/deflate. I was surprised how comfortable it is, because it is quite thin when you inflate it. However, it is just as comfortable as a normal, full-sized inflatable mattress. Definitely a good purchase and highly recommend!

It’s light and it’s packable. But def not long lasting. 3 nights on a cot and it started bubbling up. Then finally busted the 4th.

Update 6/24/19: Product worked earlier when I left it inflated in my living room. I now took it out for 2 nights of camping in a hammock (no sharp objects) and the product lost all air in a matter of minutes after inflating. The plastic welding that creates the air pockets broke appart so now the quilted pattern is lost to a huge air pillow. It deflates within a matter of minutes. Awaiting Polarmile customer service response. Original review: Happy with the size and usability of the sleeping pad. It measured 3.5"x9" when new (rolled up) and I was able to roll it to 3.5"x10.25" after the first use (wish I was as good at rolling it as when it comes from the vendor). Deflated the unit measures 89"x27.5" but shrinks to 74"x22" when fully inflated. It only took me 10 breaths to fully inflate. I left it inflated over a week and air loss was minimal. Every other day I had to give it another partial breath to fully inflate so I would say air retention is good. Laying on the pad, you will initially feel the contact points of the air pockets on your back but after a minute or two it stops being a "thing". Have to be honest/aware that the construction is based on multiple air pockets to support your body weight so this is expected.

Would give this a better rating but it does not have a backflow valve. It is annoying having air come out while you are trying to blow this thing up.

The GOOD: This sleeping pad is super small, compact and lightweight. It doesn't take up much space in your bag. And I found it to be really comfortable with the 2 inches of padding! The BAD: It's a little noisy when you are moving around. It sounds like you are rubbing two windbreaker jackets together. Also, my kids couldn't get past the gaps between the diamond-shaped padding, so we had to order a different one for them that was just flat. The VERDICT. For a hiking trip, this is tough to beat. If you don't care about space as much and are a princess-and-the-pea kind of person who feels everything under your body, you may want to look for a flat sleeping pad instead.

Update: it was like sleeping on air on the plane. If you’re a frequent traveler fortunate enough to sit in lie-flat seats that can be just a bit too hard, this is your answer. It’s compact and easily packable in a carry-on bag and inflates in a minute. ———————————————————— Just got this in the mail. I plan to use it to supplement airplane lie-flat seats that tend to be uncomfortable. I will try it out in a few weeks, but in the meantime I did a test run to see how well it inflates and deflates. It was easy to inflate and only took me about 10 breaths. Deflating is kind of loud and forceful, but fast. Lying on it for a few minutes was comfortable. What I like best about this is how small and compact it is; I can stick it in an exterior backpack pocket to carry onto the plane.
