- • Sleeping Comfort: Firm but yielding 5cm expanding foam cushions and insulates against cold ground
- • Best for: Weekend backpackers, festival-goers and car campers who want compact comfort

Self-inflation uses a quick-flow valve to draw air into compressed foam that expands to 5cm. Durable 190T polyester surface repels moisture and wipes clean for simple maintenance.
Quicker setup - with a quick-flow self-inflation valve
Open the quick-flow valve and compressed foam with thousands of open cells draws in air to expand automatically. A few top-up breaths let users set firmness to personal preference.
Minimal effort set-up gets sleeping arrangements ready in moments, useful when arriving late at campsites. Top-up breathing ensures desired firmness for side or back sleepers.
Warm, cushioned sleep - thanks to 5cm expanding foam interior
Compressed foam contains open cells that expand when exposed to air, producing a 5cm thick layer of cushioning. The foam traps air to add insulation from cold, damp ground.
Noticeably more comfortable than thinner mats, helping reduce pressure points and keeping users warmer overnight. Suitable for single-person use where a balance of comfort and packability matters.
Easy to carry and store - with compact bag and straps
Deflate by opening the valve and rolling the mat to expel air, then secure with straps before placing in a drawstring carry bag. Packs down to a much smaller volume than a thick foam bed.
Compact storage and 1.6kg weight make it straightforward to add to a rucksack or car kit. Good choice for trips where kit weight and space are limited.
