We bought two of these self-inflating mats at the end of last years camping season (we prefer the hotter weather) and couldn't wait to try them out.  Having noticed that a mini heat wave was descending on the country we decided to go camping this weekend - they were fantastic!

They, obviously, inflate themselves with a few extra puffs as they are new.  The comfort level cannot be faulted, I have the more fuller figure, and I was more comfortable than I have ever been on anything else.

Thumbs up and a recommendation from us for the Fat Airics.

You should have that blue face after taking the trouble to give feedback.  Thanks

they look scrummy :) and i love the name.

I wonder what 2 of these would be like on top of the bedding in the caravan side by side for a double bed.  I am thinking in the summer rather than a 2" or so memory foam mattress we lug around which i suspect would be quite hot laying on vs these things? maybe just a sheet covering them and then sheet or quilt on top?

Anyone thought of that or tied it?

Just thinking about taking out the lumps/bumps of the Caravan seat cushions even when turned over they are a bit uncomfortable arn't they.

Fat Airics are great, didn't think I would get on with them, being a big lad!, but they are very comfortable, and a damn site cheaper than Thermarest. Alpkit who make them are a pleasure to do business with, nothing is too much trouble, with super fast delivery.

Mat.

Sadly the fat airics are just too bulky for me to carry which is why I went for the more expensive (but lifetime guarantee) thermarest. Mind you I didn't pay premium for my thermarests, I bought them in the winter sales

Same comfort level I believe but with less bulk. As most of you are car campers the extra bulk won't of course be a problem for most of you.

Either way a quality self inflating mat is a million times better than an airbed whichever one you go for.
