There&#8217;s a lot to consider: comfort, weight, size (both packed and inflated). Comparing all those details against price and your budget can positively make your head spin!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some lightweight mats carry a significantly steep price tag on account of all the new technologies and fabrics incorporated into their design. It\u2019s not easy to decide, and what works for one person won\u2019t necessarily work for another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below, we\u2019ve hand selected the best mats from our range to suit each type of adventure, climate, and budget.

This reduces weight, but you may need to use something else to insulate your feet if the ground is cold. If weight is not a big concern and you just want comfort (or you&#8217;re a cold sleeper), choose a mat that is roughly the same length as you are in height.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Width should also be considered, especially for users with larger frames. Women&#8217;s sleeping mats are usually shorter than the men\u2019s equivalent, and often have increased insulation around the feet and hips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/STS-mat-sizes-1.jpg\" alt=\"Couple laying on different sized Sea to Summit hiking mats\" class=\"wp-image-23020\" title=\"Choose the length that suits your height, unless you're an ultra-lightweight adventurer.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/STS-mat-sizes-1.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/STS-mat-sizes-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/STS-mat-sizes-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/STS-mat-sizes-1-10x7.jpg 10w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Unless weight is an issue, go for the size that matches your height. Image: Sea to Summit<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Think about the R-value?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>R-value is an indication of how well the mat resists the transfer of heat from one side to another. This applies to the heat or cold from under the mat, as well as the heat your body may lose into the mat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The higher the value, the less likely it is you will feel cold (or heat) from the ground and the more body heat you will retain. There is now a new industry standard for R-value called ASTM F3340-18. Whilst the concept of R-value remains the same, the actual testing methods for the value have been updated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This has been introduced in a bid to create a level playing field for R-value across brands and to help consumers make more informed choices when comparing the performance of sleeping pads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/r-value-explained\/\">We go into more detail on R-value and sleeping mat ratings in this article &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/R-value-thermarest-1.jpg\" alt=\"Woman sleeping on Thermarest mat in tent\" class=\"wp-image-23134\" title=\"The R-value indicates the likeliness of feeling the cold and how much body heat is retained.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/R-value-thermarest-1.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/R-value-thermarest-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/R-value-thermarest-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/R-value-thermarest-1-10x7.jpg 10w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>In cold conditions, a higher R-value will help prevent you from feeling the cold. Image: Thermarest<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">There are a few mat types to choose between<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Closed-Cell Foam<\/strong><br>These are made of dense foam with thousands of airtight bubbles inside. They do not compress down, don\u2019t offer much comfort, but they insulate really well and are indestructible, lightweight and very affordable. When placed beneath your existing mat they increase R-value creating versatility in your sleep system.<br><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image1_resized_hq.png\" alt=\"\"><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Air-Filled<\/strong><br>These consist of chambers or cells that require inflation before use. Air-filled mats offer superior comfort for their relative weight and packed size. They do require a pump or breath for inflation and should they get a puncture will go completely flat but can be field repaired. Insulated versions have chambers of synthetic fill or down to help trap warm air.<br><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Air-filled-mat-STS-1.jpg\" alt=\"Woman lying on air filled Sea to Summit Mat\"><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Self-Inflating<\/strong><br>These mats are slabs of open-cell foam, often with holes or cores cut out. Durable fabric is bonded to the foam at the surface and sealed on the edges to create an airtight mat. The expanding foam is what creates the <em>self-inflating<\/em> feature, but this also means they require a little more muscle to compress the foam when packing your mat away. The other benefit of these mats is that if a puncture does occur, they still offer some padding and insulation.<br><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Sea-to-Summit-Self-Inflating-Mat.jpg\" alt=\"Man laying on a Sea to Summit self-inflating mat\"><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Now let&#8217;s jump into our picks for the best sleeping mats to suit any adventure.

Firmness is fully adjustable so you can dial it in to suit your sleep style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sea to Summit&#8217;s ThermalCore insulation reflects body heat back into the mat rather than relying on fill volume, achieving an R-value of 3.6 while actually reducing packed size versus the previous model. For a three-season hiking mat, that&#8217;s a genuinely useful warmth-to-weight outcome. Inflation is handled via the integrated Airstream pump sack &#8211; no separate pump required &#8211; and the XPRESS valve makes deflation fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend this mat because it strikes the best balance of comfort, warmth, and packability for just about any 3-season adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Available in Small, Regular, and Large sizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Best for: Hikers wanting one mat to suit just about any adventure<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sea to Summit Ultralight XR Insulated Air Mat\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NpZUzBRuAwU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_Budget_Hiking_Mat\"><\/span>Best Budget Hiking Mat<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">    <div class=\"snowys-product-card\">\r\n                    <div class=\"snowys-product-image\">\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/palm-2-2-hike-mat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\r\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.snowys.com.au\/content\/images\/thumbs\/1317786_palm-22-hike-mat_640.jpeg\"\r\n                         alt=\"Roman Palm 2.2 Hike Mat\"\r\n                         loading=\"lazy\" \/>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n                <div class=\"snowys-product-details\">\r\n\t\t\t            <h3 class=\"snowys-product-title\">\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/palm-2-2-hike-mat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\r\n                    Roman Palm 2.2 Hike Mat                <\/a>\r\n            <\/h3>\r\n                        <p class=\"snowys-price-wrap\"><span class=\"snowys-price\">$59.99<\/span><\/p>\r\n            <p class=\"snowys-availability snowys-in-stock\">In Stock<\/p>\r\n                        <div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"snowys-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/palm-2-2-hike-mat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\tView Product\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>At well under $100, the Roman Palm 2.2 is hard to fault for hikers who want a capable self-inflating mat without the premium price tag. The self-inflating foam construction means setup is as simple as opening the valve &#8211; no pumping required &#8211; and at 640g with a packed size of 30 x 16cm, it carries and stows without complaint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2.5cm foam interior provides solid cushioning for the weight, and the 190T polyester sleep surface is comfortable enough for multi-night use. An R-value of 2.2 makes it best suited to warmer weather and three-season conditions in milder climates. It&#8217;s not the warmest or thinnest mat on the market, but at this price point it delivers where it counts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A repair kit and carry bag are included, so it&#8217;s ready to go straight out of the box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend this mat because it offers genuine trail-ready performance at an entry-level price &#8211; a smart starting point for hikers building out their kit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Best for: Entry level hikers on a budget, school camps, or occasional use<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_Foam_Hiking_Mat\"><\/span>Best Foam Hiking Mat<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">    <div class=\"snowys-product-card\">\r\n                    <div class=\"snowys-product-image\">\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/flex-3r?s=M\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\r\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.snowys.com.au\/content\/images\/thumbs\/1323238_flexmat-3r-xs_640.jpeg\"\r\n                         alt=\"Exped Flex 3R M Flame\"\r\n                         loading=\"lazy\" \/>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n                <div class=\"snowys-product-details\">\r\n\t\t\t            <h3 class=\"snowys-product-title\">\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/flex-3r?s=M\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\r\n                    Exped Flex 3R M Flame                <\/a>\r\n            <\/h3>\r\n                        <p class=\"snowys-price-wrap\"><span class=\"snowys-price\">$67.95<\/span><\/p>\r\n            <p class=\"snowys-availability snowys-in-stock\">In Stock<\/p>\r\n                        <div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"snowys-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/flex-3r?s=M\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\tView Product\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>Most closed-cell foam mats are thin, cold, and borderline uncomfortable &#8211; the Flex 3R is Exped&#8217;s answer to that. At 3.1cm thick, it&#8217;s the thickest closed-cell foam mat on the market, and the IXPE foam construction delivers an ASTM R-value of 2.8, making it a genuinely capable standalone mat for cold-weather conditions rather than just an emergency layer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>IXPE foam is denser and more resilient than standard EVA foam used in self-inflating and regular camp mats, which shows in both the insulation performance and the durability. It&#8217;s also Oeko-Tex 100 tested, DWR-free, and made without intentionally added PFAS &#8211; meaningful if you care about what you&#8217;re sleeping on. The foldable design sets up instantly and there&#8217;s nothing to inflate, deflate, or puncture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It works well as a standalone mat for cold nights, or layered beneath an inflatable for maximum ground insulation on serious winter trips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend this mat because it solves the main gripes with foam mats &#8211; lack of thickness &#8211; without adding complexity or puncture risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Available in X-Small, Medium, and Long &amp; Wide<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Best for: Ultralight gram seekers or for use as an extra insulation layer beneath another mat<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_Self_Inflating_Hiking_Mat\"><\/span>Best Self Inflating Hiking Mat<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">    <div class=\"snowys-product-card\">\r\n                    <div class=\"snowys-product-image\">\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/pursuit-plus-self-inflating-mat?s=Regular\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\r\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.snowys.com.au\/content\/images\/thumbs\/1307864_pursuit-plus-self-inflating-mat-regular_640.jpeg\"\r\n                         alt=\"Sea to Summit Pursuit Plus Self Inflating Mat - Regular\"\r\n                         loading=\"lazy\" \/>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n                <div class=\"snowys-product-details\">\r\n\t\t\t            <h3 class=\"snowys-product-title\">\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/pursuit-plus-self-inflating-mat?s=Regular\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\r\n                    Sea to Summit Pursuit Plus Self Inflating Mat - Regular                <\/a>\r\n            <\/h3>\r\n                        <p class=\"snowys-price-wrap\"><span class=\"snowys-price\">$214.90<\/span><\/p>\r\n            <p class=\"snowys-availability snowys-in-stock\">In Stock<\/p>\r\n                        <div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"snowys-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/pursuit-plus-self-inflating-mat?s=Regular\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\tView Product\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>At 7.5cm thick, the Pursuit Plus sits in a different league to most self-inflating hiking mats &#8211; it&#8217;s closer to a camp mat in terms of comfort, but engineered to be carried on your back. Sea to Summit achieves this through Horizontal Delta Coring, which removes 40% of the foam and replaces it with air-filled channels that actually improve comfort while reducing weight and packed volume. The result is a mat that feels genuinely cushioned without the bulk you&#8217;d expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ASTM-tested R-value of 4.2 makes it a capable three-season option, handling most Australian conditions with ease. Firmness is fully adjustable via the XPEL Multi-Function Valve, which also makes deflation fast when you&#8217;re breaking camp. The contour shape trims weight where it&#8217;s least needed, while a rectangular version is available if you prefer more room to move at night. Fabric is bluesign-approved, RCS-recycled, and PFAS-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend this mat because it delivers a level of comfort that self-inflating mats rarely achieve, without crossing into the weight penalty territory of thicker camp mats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Available in multiple sizes including tapered and rectangular shapes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Best for: Anyone needing the redundancy of having some foam for insulation in the event of a puncture<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sea to Summit Pursuit Plus Self Inflating Mat\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BpUSEMED65Y?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_Hiking_Mat_For_Side_Sleepers\"><\/span>Best Hiking Mat For Side Sleepers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">    <div class=\"snowys-product-card\">\r\n                    <div class=\"snowys-product-image\">\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/ether-light-xr-insulated-air-sleeping-mat?s=Regular\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\r\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.snowys.com.au\/content\/images\/thumbs\/1307894_ether-light-xr-insulated-air-sleeping-mat-regular_640.jpeg\"\r\n                         alt=\"Sea to Summit Ether Light XR Insulated Air Sleeping Mat - Regular\"\r\n                         loading=\"lazy\" \/>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n                <div class=\"snowys-product-details\">\r\n\t\t\t            <h3 class=\"snowys-product-title\">\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/ether-light-xr-insulated-air-sleeping-mat?s=Regular\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\r\n                    Sea to Summit Ether Light XR Insulated Air Sleeping Mat - Regular                <\/a>\r\n            <\/h3>\r\n                        <p class=\"snowys-price-wrap\"><span class=\"snowys-price\">$239.90<\/span><\/p>\r\n            <p class=\"snowys-availability snowys-in-stock\">In Stock<\/p>\r\n                        <div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"snowys-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/ether-light-xr-insulated-air-sleeping-mat?s=Regular\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\tView Product\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>At 10cm thick and just 445g, the Ether Light XR sits in rare territory &#8211; genuinely plush cushioning at a weight that barely registers in your pack.

The stuff sack doubles as an integrated pump, so no separate gear is required, and the XPRESS valve handles fine-tuning and quick deflation.

The 40D ripstop nylon fabric has an antimicrobial treatment, so blowing it up by mouth is fine for the long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One important caveat: with an R-value of just 1.1, this is strictly a warm-weather and spring\/summer mat. If you&#8217;re hiking into cooler conditions, step up to the Ultralight XR or Ether Light models above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend this mat for fair-weather ultralight hikers and gram-counters who want to shave every possible bit of weight and volume from their sleep kit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Available in Small, Regular and Large sizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Best for: Gram savers wanting a step up in comfort from a thin closed cell foam mat<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>An older episode, but still an interesting <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/podcast-sea-to-summit-sleep-mats-with-ross-smith\/\"><strong>chat with Ross from Sea to Summit about their sleeping mats on the Snowys Camping Show<\/strong> &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ep 168 - Sea to Summit Sleep Mats with Ross Smith\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FRvdI6_2v3Q?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hiking_Sleep_Mats_FAQs\"><\/span>Hiking Sleep Mats FAQ&#8217;s<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1779674430776\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is R-value on hiking mats?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">R-value measures thermal resistance \u2014 the higher the number, the better the mat insulates you from the ground. For hiking mats, there&#8217;s a trade-off: higher R-value generally means more weight. Think about the conditions you&#8217;ll be hiking in and find the right balance for your needs. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/r-value-explained\/\">We have more detail here >>.<\/a><br><\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1779675157233\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Are hiking mats noisy to sleep on?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Air-filled mats, such as the Thermarest NeoAir and the Sea to Summit air-filled mats, create more noise than self-inflating mats. The good news is that this noise is usually due to the fabric being new, so it will decrease over time and is a small trade-off for much more comfort.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1779674843706\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How do I pack a hiking mat?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Same as you would a regular camping mat, although a hiking mat can be easier as you are dealing with less fabric. You need to compress the foam to squeeze the air out as you roll a self inflating mat, air filled mats roll with very little effort.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1779674861403\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How do I sleep comfortably on a hiking mat?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">You need to be innovative when hiking as you will have minimal gear with you. Use your clothing, pack or water bladders to alleviate hard spots or create a pillow, and you can warm the mat up by laying a thermal blanket underneath. A closed cell foam mat, although bulky, is a super lightweight addition to your kit that can be strapped to the outside of your pack and used under your existing hiking mat for extra padding and insulation.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1779674885507\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What type of sleeping may should I take hiking?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">There&#8217;s no right or wrong answer here. Air filled generally offer the most thickness at the smallest pack size, self-inflating offer some padding and insulation redundancy in the event of a puncture, and closed cell foam mats are super light when in\/on your pack but at the expense of some comfort when sleeping.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1779674909398\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Do I need a sleeping mat for hiking?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Not necessarily, if you sleep comfortably on the hard ground, or are travelling somewhere where you can create a soft sleeping pad with the natural materials in the area then you can probably get by without one. However, most people do take one to ensure a good night of rest after being on the trail all day.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1779675288967\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How do I care for my hiking mat?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Wherever possible, always use something between your body and the mat such as a\u00a0sleeping bag\u00a0or\u00a0liner. This reduces the amount of oil and sweat that soaks into the mat. Should your mat need cleaning, use a mild soap with warm water and a soft-bristled brush to gently clean the surface.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1779675320478\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How do I store my hiking mat?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Self-inflating mats are best stored inflated. This ensures the foams\u2019 memory is in an expanded state which shortens the time it takes at camp for the mat to inflate. Given they are much smaller it is easier to store a hiking mat inflated than a large camping mat. Air-filled mats are much easier to care for, they are best stored loosely rolled, but if space is a premium, they can be rolled up and stored in their stuff sack once they\u2019re clean and dry.<br><\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-22878 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='22878' data-nonce='b12dd522f4' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Liked it' \/><span class='lc-22878 lc'>79<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div> <div class='status-22878 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Choosing a sleeping mat for your overnight hiking adventures can be a confusing affair!
