You DON'T have to SPEND a fortune to get a good night's sleep!

[@DuncanHaughey]

I’ve been using this sleeping mat for a couple of years and have no complaints. I always get a good night’s sleep. It's well worth the money.

[@lauriebloggs8391]

Me too...............

[@TheAsrgrant]

I've got that! Its great and not paying huge money. I'm a wild camper for many years. Love the channel BTW.

[@Soggz7785]

Hi Andy. I have one of these. Combined with a thin silver mat underneath, it can keep you pretty warm. It’s also a great shape for hammocks, that’s why it’s the shape it is. Also, put the sticky side on the ground, it won’t slide around under you. All the best.👍🏾🇬🇧

[@BradleyHoward]

Having spent a lot of money on kit over the years, Decathlon has become my go-to shop for new hiking stuff. It's reasonably priced - some of it is super cheap - but the quality is outstanding. Put another way, I see little benefit buying cheap rubbish from Amazon when I can pop into Decathlon and get something for the same price with better quality. When kit has gone wrong, their in-store repair service has sorted it out. I've been looking for a replacement sleeping pad after my spare one (which my son uses when we camp together) and I'll try this.

[@petercollins7848]

Decathlon kit is superb value especially the smaller tents. The only downsides are the colours - or the lack of them!

[@simoncee9011]

Looks like a good bit of kit. Thank you for showing that.

[@muddodger]

I bought the medium size one for my partner. I'm really impressed with it. also due to its taper it makes a really good hammock liner!!

[@RichardShortland-Neal]

I have the original yellow/grey version of this and a MT500 insulated mat which has a R value of 3.3 and both are fantastic mats and well worth the money.

[@atmakali9599]

Love this. Perfectly explained too. ❤

[@MG-bs5mr]

Yeah I've got the MT500 XL insulated version with an Rvalue of 3.3. Also got that 2.2 RValue CCF pad. Absolutely love both of them.

[@TrevsOutdoorsandWellbeing]

Brilliant mate you do the research so the people don’t need too 😊

[@BackpackingUK]

And spend the money! 💵 😂

[@TrevsOutdoorsandWellbeing]

@@BackpackingUK haha we all need a hobby enough clobber to start a small army 🤣🤣

[@camping_guru_uk]

Superb, I love that you are reviewing some lower priced but good kit. I got the Naturehike R5.8 pad that's very similar spec apart from the R rating for about £85 all in, you'd pay double that for a well known brand.

[@SnowyAspenHills]

I have been wondering about purchasing that pad, it’s not such a high value as the say on the box is what I have heard but it’s still seems a reasonable pad.

[@camping_guru_uk]

​@@SnowyAspenHills the coldest I've slept in it is about 7c but it really was warm, I mean i was amazed at how it felt from under my summer quilt. I got the biggest one which is still a touch narrow for me but I'm a wide fella lol😂

[@Rick-gb5jj]

Nice review Andy. Cheers

[@billhambelton7698]

This might be my next pad when my trusty Alpkit numo hits the dust.

[@syrus3k]

Yeah I've got this one, it's pretty good. It's actually my wife's but I've stolen it. What I will say is that it's maybe not that tough.. we bought a reapaired one cheap and there were a few in the shop like that. It's been fine though.

[@djijomurdjevic]

They have MT500 insulated pad, the orange one, R value 3.3 I think. Decent really. Could be a bit comfier for side sleepers, but for the money, can't hate it.

[@TheVeggieBiker]

I gave this mattress 3 chances, unfortunately it let me down 3 times, each time after the night I had huge problems with my cervical spine, I guess I can't sleep on this type of mattress

[@randomdaysy]

I find my pad rolls up smaller too, I use the extra space in the bag to hold my flextail pump

[@BackpackingUK]

Same!

[@Pythontrader743]

Hi mate! Great review as always! Is there a 3 season sleeping mat you would recommend? 😁👍

[@BackpackingUK]

I use the Big Agnes Rapide SL that I absolutely love.

[@NEATHoutdoors]

I had that tent, fantastic tent for the money, the matt however crippled my back but I am a very restless side sleeper

[@BackpackingUK]

I’m a bad sleeper too, that’s why I love the Big Agnes Rapide so much. 9cm thick middle, 11cm thick outer.

[@NEATHoutdoors]

@BackpackingUK my Robens Fjellguard 40 is really good, I've also got a demo tensor but I'm yet to properly try that.

[@randyespoda1603]

@@BackpackingUK that's more like it for a side sleeper. The Big Agnes Rapide is pretty good...

[@timwright5466]

I sleep on the grass naked with no tent..the youngsters these days honestly...sleeping pads 😂

[@Ballbagsaggins]

That's nothing! I even shave my back to get closer to the ground and a proper camping experience.😉🤣

[@timwright5466]

@@Ballbagsaggins damm why didn't I think of that 🤔

[@9abe9]

Awesome review! Please do a review on the newly launched pad that is insulated, The mt 900. 5.6 R value if I'm not mistaken

[@BackpackingUK]

I’ve used that on the West Highland Way. Review coming out soon!

[@ALLWEATHERRIDERM]

Very sticky on the skin too when it’s hot and are very uncomfortable with sun burn!!!

[@michaelsrowland]

How much?

[@M-zx3gk]

This or flextail ?

[@BackpackingUK]

Both very different. Flextail for comfort and warmth. Pack size is huge though.

[@M-zx3gk]

@@BackpackingUKso hard choosing gear for the first time!

[@bcamping1]

​@@M-zx3gkget a pad with lot of R value. Then you can use lighter sleeping bag. Foil insulation packs smaller and is lightest.

[@craigy1872]

They may make some great affordable gear, but it’s never in stock (Glasgow)🤦🏻‍♂️

[@randyespoda1603]

This was the first inflatable sleeping mattress i bought and I have to say, for a SIDE SLEEPER, it is absolutely horrible. All mats with those air tubes in the length of the mattress are the worst for a side sleeper. If you sleep on your back or stomach then perhaps this is fine, but let this be a fair warning for those who sleep on their side. You'll have to reach a bit deeper in your pocket and pay a bit more for a decent side-sleeping mat. Just saying.

[@twighiker]

Maybe use it before reviewing it? Pointless review.

[@BackpackingUK]

Of course I’ve used it! Nonsense comment.
