Exped SynMat Basic 7.5 sleeping pad review

Welcome to Hiking Sweden. Today we are taking a closer look at the Exped SynMat Basic sleeping pad that I've been using for 6 months.

I have one of these, they are indeed comfortable so long as they are not blown up too much. I got this because I tried various different mats in a sporting goods store and this was the most comfortable. I have had no issues with my arms falling asleep at night. I am usually a side sleeper but also sleep on my back and this pad works great for both. It will also keep you warm on those chilly days!

Many thanks for the review. Off the back of this I have purchased one and got it for just under £70 UK pounds. Bargain! This seems like a lot of mat/features for that price and from a brand with a good reputation. I’m glad I held out and didn’t get blinded by some of the cheaper imitation pads.

Great review buddy seems a decent wee pad and compact

Vad kul att jag hittade din kanal, superbra 👍 har du ett liggunderlag under mattan med?

Thank you for this review. I have just ordered one of these mats. I have been using the Trekology UL80 which is a great pad but the r value is low so no good on cold nights. I'm looking forward to getting this one.

I'd love to know what happened.. I'm a UL80 user but I'm not convinced about 'insulated' mats at all

[@dougdixonhull]

@CosmicSeeker69 I really liked it to start with. But it started going down during the night. I tested it for punchers but couldn't find any. It maybe the seams I've had two with both the same problem. Contacted Trekology. They didn't seem interested. I've also had problems with there deluxe pillow. The inner just decayed. They sent me a replacement but that did the same thing. I've only used them on campsites in good weather. I've lost total confidence it Trekology products and the customer service. Will not us them again.

Hi Anton. Is it hard to deflate and put back in it’s bag? (You didn’t show that) Thank you.

[@hikingswede]

Ah! No, its very easy.

Låter den mycket när du sover på den som vissa andra gör?

[@hikingswede]

Nej det upplever jag inte.
