Unigear Inflatable Sleeping Mat, Compact Lightweight Camping Mat for Hiking | Sleeping pad for backpacking, tent trap traveling Space-save inflatable camping mattress for camping & outdoor overnight use

Great sleeping mat for festivals and camping where you want light and compact gear. The packed size is small and really light. It’s slightly longer to inflate than a self inflating but is also a cheaper option for this reason, having said this i think it took me under 5 mins to blow up and you could always use a pump to speed this up. Additionally, its much smaller than the self inflating options and therefore easier to carry. It was more comfortable than a roll mat and distributes you weight well, obviously not as comfortable as proper blow up mattress. I think it’s the best option I’ve tried for camping where you have to carry your own gear.

not bad for the price. If camping it is small and light and easy to inflate. A little noisy when you turnover

Took this out on a couple of camping nights and it’s exactly what you want if you’re trying to keep your gear light. Packs down really small—about the size of a bottle—and barely adds any weight to your bag. Proud Fabrics Inflating takes a bit of effort (around 10–15 breaths), but once it’s set up it’s surprisingly comfortable and keeps you off the cold ground. Slept well on it even on uneven ground. Unigear Only thing to note is you need to make sure the valve is sealed properly or it can lose air over time, but once sorted it holds up fine. Overall, really solid option for backpacking or short trips—does the job without taking up space.

Used for a year so far, on average 1-2 times per month wild camping with no problem, no air escaping etc. Comfy and light weight. Bit tricky to remove air and roll up after use. I've always used a foil mat underneath for warmth and I am a smaller than average adult female (under 5ft) so it's not being put through it's paces like it would be were I a 6 ft 3 14 st man using it. Very happy with it, great for me and my micro adventures!

Seemed ok when we bought it, not especially easy to inflate but doable. It fairly small and lightweight, but then when we used it a couple of months later it unfortunately ended up useless. Was used for a 2 week expedition in Africa. Night 1 blew it up and then by morning it was deflated. This happened every night and my daughter was lying on hard ground. Such a shame as had high hopes. An air mattress that deflates and leaves you lying on the ground is, by definition, useless!! Unable to replace it whilst in Africa and too late to refund it now.

OK, what this mat isn't is a one stop 4 season solution. As it has no internal insulation the R value is low. On the other hand it is dirt cheap. I weigh a bit north of 100kg and have used this mat a few times with no problems. I use it on top of a z folding closed cell foam mat. This both protects the bottom, adds insulation, and adds a bit of comfort. The quoted weight is spot on more or less. I make it 506g. I haven't used the bag it comes in. When I pack up in the morning I fold it in half, roll it up, slip an elastic strap round it and stick in in the bottom of my rucsac. So far no issues, Cost under £20. At the price can't fault it. My only problem is that camping with the dogs they want to be on it. I am buying a second one as a spare and to use if the dogs are with me..

Cheap but OK for summer.

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.

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.

Employé une dizaine de fois en camping, aucun problème a signaler la membrane anti retour marche bien et le matelas est simple à replier. La taille est grande il remplit totalement la tente en longueur. Très utile ! A voir la tenue dans le temps.

Best part is that you can merge 2 of them together to make a bigger one. Very nice, soft overall and pretty warm, but gets cold bellow 10 C

Prisvärt, verkar vara bra kvalitet. Mycket nöjd

Puncture on first use, sleeping on the ground basically. Buy a more expensive one I would say
