Hello,

A friend of my wife is buying me an inflatable sleeping mat for Christmas and I was hoping to give her some guidence.  i has to be leightweight enough as I'm planning my first 2 dayer for next year, but also I can't expect her to be playing too much.

Any ideas please

Thanks

Stu 

Hi Stu,

Make sure you get a full length one not 3/4 as there's nothing worse that your feet on the cold floor

Have a look HERE , if these people don't have any left the just do a web search for them, they're cheap enough and work well for the price.

Thermarest are the market leaders in inflatable mats, they are also probably the most expensive.

I have used other brands (not aric which seem very popular) and though they were not cheap they still did not last the course.

My thermarest is still going strong even after a repair which thermarest did for £10.

I'd say Thermorest as well. Get the Thermorest chair kit. It's a nice thing to have with you at the end of a long day. If all these others cut the mustard then the expedition people would use them - they don't!

I believe that the Vaude mats are also made in the same factory
