POWERLIX Ultralight Inflatable Camping Sleeping Pad – Camping Mattress for Backpacking, Hiking, Compact Lightweight Air Pad for Camping, Inflation Hand Pump Bag/Repair Kit Included

Fantastic pad for the price, I highly recommend it
[Updated: 13th October 2021. I have since had the opportunity to spend nights on this mat, with a 1/4in yoga-mat underneath for insulation + traction, & am pleased to announce that it consistently sleeps me through the night, without pain in the morning. You can definitely feel how hard the ground is through it when sitting down on it, + getting into position, but once in a laying position your weight is supported evenly by the cells so that discomfort goes away & it feels good under you. Side-sleeping is a firm experience, but not painfully hard, & there’s no sense of your bones being bruised by the ground.It’s lasting well, too – no punctures, leaks or fraying, yet.I’m delighted to be able to confirm my original sentiments; this is a top-quality pick for outdoorsfolk seeking minimal weight for minimal outlay. /update]For what it is, this is a 10/10 item. It’s feather-light, inflatable without reading any instructions (the only skill required is a vague awareness of what a pump-bag is when you see it) and quickly (I was at it for maybe two minutes total, and that includes unrolling the pad and shaking air into the bag), and far comfier than it has any real right to be.And it costs -peanuts-, compared to other similarly technical gear with better known names. I’m not a hard-core hiker – I’m personally a site camper*, in fact – but I recently fell down a quarantine-spurred internet hole where I spent 6+ hours a day for about 17 days total devouring everything that blogs, articles, forums, YouTube and Pinterest had to teach about ultralight backpacking, because I was bored and have ADHD and sometimes hyperfocus is a Hell of a drug.So, while I’ve never gone on an actual hike in my life (I use a wheelchair, which would make it rather awkward, to say the least), I do know what ideal item weights are, and what the expectations are of each item, for a good one.And this? Is a -great- pad for the price. I’m actually tempted to buy a second one, just in case this one somehow gets damaged someday and they’re no longer in production, I like it that much.This is a lightweight hiking pad. It’s all air, and all cells, at that. It’s not going to give you the experience of a domestic airbed, or a cushy self-inflating foam mat. But it’s a Hell of a lot comfier than I expected it to be.Realistically, you can sleep on just about anything out in the wild, when it’s at dark and quiet and you’re tired from the day, which is why my personal pre-field comfort test for new sleeping gear is to set it up within temptation’s reach of my actual bed and then try to nap on it, in the middle of the afternoon.I must caveat this by mentioning that I am a US size 4 – 6, but I am also a shape that’s all hips and shoulders; so, I am naturally sensitive to hard sleeping surfaces, as they give my widest parts nowhere to go – however, I must acknowledge that my conclusions may not be applicable to people who are significantly wider and heavier than myself. It’s wider than most mats of its kind, but it’s still not as wide as a single-size airbed, or anything like that.(Also, if you’re a particularly -active- sleeper, I’d suggest slipping this one down the back of your sleeping bag, rather than just under it, or you -will- roll off it [or, if you’re site camping, it’d be a great cot-topper].)So, how did I sleep? Quite deeply, for a couple of hours, until my husband came to find me because it was suppertime. It was perfectly supportive on my back – I actually let out a soft sigh of contentment, as I lay down – and though rolling over to my second preferred posture of sort of half on my side, half on my stomach, I won’t deny that my hip did dip enough to be uncomfortable, simply shifting myself to be completely on my side removed that issue. It’s definitely a better pad for back and front sleepers than it is for side ones, but it was much less -uncomfortable- on my side than I had expected it to be. I did get back to sleep, and later didn’t wake up sore or anything like that.It was pleasant enough that not only did I get a decent nap on it of a couple hours, but that when later in the evening, I subjected it to my second usual test, of reading a book on it for an hour or so to see if it remains comfortable while in a static posture for an extended period of time, it came through with winning colours.Again, this is -not- a cushy foam mat, nor is it a mattress-thick airbed, nor is it even a 3 – 4inch deep, multi-hundred dollar Big Agnes or Sea To Summit prestige hiking mat; this is a 1.5inch thick, shallow cell hiking mat that cost less than US$40. It is not going to make you as comfortable as any of those will, nor will it keep you as warm as any of its insulated contemporaries (though the thermometer segment of my test did show that adding a simple foil-topped foam roll underneath, or even just a folded emergency blanket, extends its use easily from 2 seasons to 3), nor will it last you as long as any of its more expensive competitors.This is the reality, and it would be unreasonable to expect those things of it – but what it does do is punch well above its *own* actual weight.If you’re new to hiking and don’t want to invest too deeply until you’re sure it’s for you, or if you’re simply strapped for cash, and you don’t have any major pre-existing back problems to complicate your ground-sleeping needs (or if you do, but just need something cushy to put on your cot or in your hammock), then this is probably just about the best technical pad under US$90 that you can buy.I am extremely happy with my purchase, and I have already recommended it to a couple of friends who are looking at streamlining their camping kit.10/10, ideal in its niche.*Why did I even -want- an ultralight sleeping pad if I’m a site camper, when weight and portability aren’t especially an issue and I could easily carry in a thicker, plusher sleeping mat?Well, the fact is that I do exactly that, however I have a major spinal condition which means that I don’t endure well on long car journeys – such as the ones generally involved in traveling out to location on camping trips – and the last time I had to weather one, we found ourselves stopping every other hour or so to dig my companion’s x-leg cot out of the boot so that I could lie down for a bit.The cot was pretty hard by itself, and I found myself wishing that I had something softer and more supportive to top it with, to help my discomfort settle faster and better. It wasn’t exactly practical to retrieve and inflate my Outwell Dreamboat 31inch-wide, 78inch-long and 6inch-thick self-inflating mat every time we stopped, only to have to roll the monster thing up again half an hour later when I was ready to get back into the car – to say nothing of the fact that it wouldn’t have -fit- on the cot, anyway.A month or so later I fell down my backpacking clickhole, discovered ultralight hiking pads – which are narrower, shorter, more portable and quicker to inflate and deflate – and the rest is history. And with the cot 24inches wide and 75inches long, I chose this one because from the best-reviewed among the cheapest options, that -also- came in black (I’m a goth, so sue me), this was the one that would most perfectly fit atop it.Why did I care whether or not it’s comfy enough to sleep on, if I won’t actually -be- sleeping on it? Because if it is, then it’s also comfy enough to cradle my body in gentle relief when I’m in a true pain crisis and waiting for my prescription analgesics to kick in before I can be moved. Which is a very -specific- set of factors, all told.

Good for the price.
Not as easy as advertised to blow up. Takes longer than a few minutes. Noisy, but was comfortable to sleep on.

Non aiuta molto come comodità, ok come isolante termico

Lo acabo de usar en una noche de camping, y el producto es muy bueno, primeramente, muy compacto para transportar, segundo, ya inflado, tiene un muy buen largo, tercero y mas importante, hace muy comoda la noche. Cabe perfecto en el largo de la casa de campaña, de hecho es bastante largo y lo de arriba lo enrolle un poco y lo use como almoada. Yo lo infle con la boca, realmente no es dificil, no requiere mucho esfuerzo. Ya inflado si se siente muy suavecito, y es muchisimo mejor que dormir directo al contorno del piso. Al momento de desinflarlo, solo hay que ir corriendo el aire hacia el lado de la valvula cuando lo enrollas, para que quede igual de compacto. Muy recomendable, ademas a mi me gusto mucho el color, hasta combina con mi casa de campaña

No agrego una foto porque es tal cual como se ve en la imagen. Yo mido 1.85 se podría decir que soy alto y esta colchoneta me quedó perfecta, incluso la orilla que sobraba la enrolle para utilizarla como almohada, el ancho esta bien para 1 persona.En cuanto a comodidad supero mis expectativas, no lo puedes comparar con una cama ortopédica pero para dormir en una acampada no puedo pedir más que esta cómoda superficie.En mi caso la utilize adentro del sleeping bag y la perdida de calor por el suelo fue 0% incluso tuve que abrir un poco mi sleeping para refrescarme.El método de inflado es muy fácil y si aprendes a guardarlo bien se hace súper compacto ,en total el tiempo promedio de inflado es de 6 minutos ya contando desde que lo sacas de la funda.Cuenta con 2 parches en el interior de la bolsa OJO CON ESO, si tu eres de los que corta las etiquetas de instrucciones de lavado en las camisas o pantalones, podrías pensar que se trata de eso PERO NO LO ES, SON PARCHES así que mejor déjalos ahí para cuando los necesites.Sin más lo recomiendo bastante si eres una persona que disfruta de dormir cómodamente en tus acampadas o incluso si planeas ir de visita a casa de un familiar y detestas dormir en el sillón porque mides 1.85 mts.
