   Great bit of kit.
   Superb little sleeping mat. Purchased for D of E and so happy with it. Made for a comfortable night’s sleep. The mat is a great size, just the right amount of depth to be comfortable but very compact and lightweight and so easily stowed in my backpack. Definitely worth the money. Highly recommend.If there was a slight negative I found it a bit hard to completely expel all the air when deflating it to get it back to the tiny roll but that was more the failure of me the camper than the equipment.

   Unigear Ultralight vs Thermarest ProLite Plus
   I own both of these lightweight backpacking mattresses. The Thermarest ProLite Plus is a higher end product costing roughly 5 times as much as this Unigear Ultralight model. Here is my comparison.Pack Size:The Unigear is less than half the pack size of the Thermarest. The reason for this is that the Unigear deflates down to a plastic sheet while the Thermatest always look like a mattress even when deflated because the inner bed is made up of lightweight foam and independent support nodules.Warmth:The addition of the foam and support nodules gives the Thermarest a much higher R value of 3.2 versus only 1.6 for the Unigear. This means that the Thermarest is warmer and a better choice when the weather is approaching freezing or below.I did use the Unigear Ultralight in 1 degree C weather recently combined with a sleeping bag rated down to -5 degrees comfort & -10 extreme. The compressed parts of the bag contacting the Unigear pad felt cool, but not uncomfortably cold. However, the Unigear pad is definitely not conducive to quality sleep in these temperature conditions. If you are thinking of using this pad in ~ 5 degrees or below, I would combine it with another pad to raise the R-value.Support:I am nearly 100kg, but the Unigear is thick enough to keep my hip above the ground while side sleeping. While comfortable, it is not nearly as firm as the Thermarest. The foam & independent support nodules in the Thermarest give the option of a much firmer mattress when fully inflated.Noise:This is the first thing I noticed about the Unigear when climbing onto it. It makes a LOUD crinkling noise when moving around. It sounds like it is made out of the packing paper that Amazon put in your parcels.On the other hand, the Thermarest makes no noise at all, though to be fair Thermarest’s ultra lightweight inflatable-only product called the “NeoAir Light” is also famous for its annoying crinkling noise.But having used this pad on a couple of real trips now I can honestly say that the noise did not bother me. Yes it is noisier than my other pads, but it didn’t bother me even on a quiet windless night.Size:The Unigear is much longer and wider than the Thermarest. It is a very generous sleeping space. Also, the Thermatest has a tapered coffin shape that narrows at the feet while the Unigear remains rectangular throughout. I do prefer the rectangular shape of the Unigear because my feet often end up on the tent floor with Thermarest.Weight:Not much difference. The Unigear is 507 grams vs 670 grams for the Thermarest.Inflation:The Thermatest is “Self inflating” which I think is vastly overrated. You still have to give it at least half a dozen good puffs to top it off. On the other hand, the Unigear probably requires 10 to 12. It is a non-issue for me personally. Both mattresses are easy to setup.Summary:The Unigear Ultralight is an ultra compact but comfortable mattress with superior reliability to that of its low cost competitors. I’d recommend it for casual camping or backpackers that want an ultra compact but comfortable mattress. I think it is also a good compact item for a small bug-out bag.I would be reluctant to take the Unigear Ultralight on a snow trip for example due to the low R-value and the lack of safety margin with it being an air only mattress. The one thing I would try to improve is to find a less noisy surface material. But at ~ £20, it is difficult to find fault with this mattress.The Thermarest Pro Light Plus on the other hand, is warmer, quieter a lot more comfortable especially if you prefer a medium or firmer mattress.

   Lightweight simple mattress
   Got this for multi-day trail hikes. On testing, the initial product is very long as some reviews mention — but when inflated, folds form and the final mattress is about 190 cm, as advertised. So I recommend puffing it up before returning it for being too long. :)Took 12-18 puffs to inflate. It’s quite comfy, and packs small. Easy to fold up. Pillow and mattress inflate separately. Material seems tough and valves work, although changing between fully open and the one way valve was tight.Looking forward to trying it out on the Fish River Canyon! I’ll update this review if we have any issues there.

   Great Value and Durability, but Consider Skipping the Built-in Pillow
   I’ve been pleasantly surprised by this camping sleeping mat, especially considering its budget-friendly price. It has seen quite a bit of use and has proven itself to be quite sturdy and resilient, handling the demands of camping exceptionally well.One of my primary concerns when purchasing a more affordable sleeping mat was air leakage, and I’m thrilled to report that this mat has not disappointed in this aspect. It maintains its inflation throughout the night, ensuring I get a restful sleep.However, I did encounter a minor issue with the built-in pillow. Personally, I found it uncomfortable and would have preferred a standalone pillow. Therefore, if you’re like me and prioritize comfort during your camping trips, I would recommend considering a mat without the built-in pillow for your next purchase.In conclusion, this camping sleeping mat offers excellent value for its price and holds up well under regular use. Just keep in mind that the built-in pillow might not be to everyone’s liking, so you might want to opt for a separate pillow if comfort is crucial to you.

   Lightweight, compact and comfortable.
   I took it on a survival weekend and it was great. The 3 most important points are listed in my headline. It’s lightweight and compact which is important when carrying survival gear. However neither of these qualities had a negative impact on comfort. It was just as comfortable as my matress at home. Would definitely recommend. It’s already packed for my next trip.

   Not bad
   Easy to inflate and it held the pressure over time although it slides about very easily which put me off

   Good value however not insulated
   This pad is very comfortable and easy to inflate, deflate and pack away. Only used once so far but the pad didn’t leak during the night. However it doesn’t keep the cold from the ground from getting to you but is easily avoided by having a good sleeping bag. For the price I wouldn’t expect it to be this good. I would recommend but only if you have an insulated sleeping bag or an insulated mat to go under the pad

   Was good till it wasn’t
   Comfortable while inflated. Used 3 times and now won’t stay inflated.

    Ce matelas est grand et assez confortable pour un poids de seulement 600 gr.Pouvoir gonfler l’oreiller indépendamment est appréciable.Le gonflage à la bouche est un peu long sans embout pour les lèvres.J’ai coupé un bout tuyau d’arrosage Ø16 int -Ø 18 ext d’une longueur de 40 mm environ que je glisse dans la valve pour un gonflage plus efficace.

    Ho comprato questo materassino in occasione di un viaggio aereo della durata di 24 ore complessive. Si gonfia in pochissimo ed è modellabile quindi ho potuto gonfiarlo in aereo e usarlo da seduta. Anche durante lo scalo l’ho messo su una panchina e mi sono fatta un pisolino. Molto leggero ma resistente. Lo consiglio.

    1. Leicht2. Klein3. Schnell aufgeblasen und auch wieder zusammengerollt4. Robust5. Kissen SEPARAT aufblasbar und daher individuell anpassbar6. Tipp: Kombination mit Campingkissen für Männer mit breiten Schultern, so reicht es von der Höhe her.7. Keine Knister Geräusche8. Super Textur und “Muster”, man spürt keine Naht oder eine Ritze.9. Gute Größe auch für Männer annähernd 2 Meter.10. Kissen hat leicht Kuhle, stabilisiert Kopf.11. Gute Isolation auch bei Kälte: Die “R – Werte” sind nicht so verlässlich, es kommt immer drauf an.12. Das bei dem Gewicht und Preis ist unschlagbar!So muss eine Isomatte sein.

    Plus confortable que ce que j’ai pu acheter à décathlon et pour moins cher. Fait grand mais réduit à mesure du gonflage. Coussin pour oreiller séparer est une bonne idée
