For my part, I tried a closed cell mat for some time but just couldn't cope with it, I used to wake in the night with sore hipbones and I could never get comfortable. I’ve found the quickest method of packing away is as follows, but I take no responsibility for you doing the same. We can’t talk about how good (or bad) a piece of kit is without have taken it out into the field and testing it properly first. Say goodbye to annoying pebbles and uneven ground: you won’t feel a thing laying upon this plush mat, which inflates to 10cm high to keep you off the ground.

Thankfully I bought it as extra cushioning to go on top of a single air bed for which it does add comfort for a side sleeper but I wouldn't have bought it for wild camping as an only protection from sleeping on the ground. That said the materials feel a lot flimsier and you lose a good 20mm in thickness which is going to impact how soft you can leave this mat and therefore just how comfy! DURABLE - This air mattress from Berghaus is built to last with a nylon ripstop durable fabric construction with TPU laminate which is tough, durable and rip-resistant.To save me work in the morning, my first job of the day when I wake is to unscrew the valve so that my body weight can push out most of the air, it's then so much easier to roll up. But this is easily remedied with a few manual breaths and once this is done it's very comfortable and insulating. A quick-release push valve allows for fast inflation and deflation while the foam core creates a soft surface that will support you throughout the night.

EXTRA LARGE SIZE - This self inflating mat from Berghaus comes in a wider fit than a standard camping mat and is almost 2 metres in length to provide a more spacious surface to lie on. For the thru-hiker or wild camper the Berghaus Peak Self-Inflating Mat is a lightweight, compact and easy to use mat which uses a diamond cut foam to assure a good nights rest no matter the terrain or the temperature. If I don't do this, I often end up rolling it up twice, one roll to get the air out, and another roll for it to be able to be stowed away in my rucksack.Borrowing more than you can afford or paying late may negatively impact your financial status and ability to obtain credit. Quote from: gunwharfman on 13:50:15, 15/05/23 Because the leak was so small (the mat would take all night to deflate) it was a nightmare to find. It’s such a pain having to wrestle something back into it’s bag at the end of a camp, no problems here. The robust fabric features heavy duty ripstop technology, isolating tears and cuts so that they don’t run riot over the rest of the design.

I love my Multimat, it's the short version and weighs 340g although their spec was 350g when I bought it. Is there a reason why you would choose self inflating over blow up, bearing in mind that inflation bags and mini electric pumps are available?
