This camping mattress was designed to bring optimal sleeping conditions to tents, campers, SUVs, and anywhere else you're trying to get quality sleep away from home. Its two sizes measure roughly 72-by-26-by-4 and 78-by-30-by-4 inches, which is big enough to provide a plush sleeping space while remaining compact enough to fit inside a tight two-person tent. The inner construction is what makes it so comfortable: Open-cell foam helps insulate the mattress while horizontal air channels evenly distribute your weight when lying on it while also making it lighter to carry. A large intake nozzle and foot pump make it exceptionally easy to inflate, and a special release flap allows air to escape more quickly when it's time to pack up.

Those who have slept on this camping mattress are wowed by its comfort. "This mat is pure joy," a shopper exclaimed. "It’s supremely comfortable, easy to inflate and deflate, and put away in the included bag. The little included pump is perfect for topping off after letting it inflate for 10 minutes or so…It is truly more comfortable than my expensive mattress at home."

Other shoppers have noted that it's one of the few sleeping pads that's allowed them to find restful sleep at the campsite. "After two restless nights this past weekend on a full-size inflatable mattress, I tried this last night. Simply amazing comfort. Might have to sleep on it at home." Another shopper agreed, saying, "Life-changing mat! So comfortable! I couldn’t believe how it held its shape and stayed comfy all night!"

Whether you're trying to save space in your gear kit or you're just looking for a smaller sleeping pad, Exped's MegaMat 10 needs to be at the absolute top of your list while it's 40% off during REI's Labor Day sale. Make sure to order yours soon, though—top camping gear has been selling out left and right, and there's no telling how much longer these will be in stock.
