Frequently Asked questions

How do I choose the best sleeping pad for long backpacking trips? 

Two key points for longer backpacking trips: light weight and reliability/durability. Many air pads fail not because of punctures, but because of weld or laminate failures (more prevalent in really light sleeping pads). Look for a mat around 400g, but check with your favorite store whether certain pads are returned more often.

How light should a backpacking sleeping pad be? 

This depends on factors like perceived comfort and durability. A lightweight backpacker will set the limit at around 700g, an ultralight backpacker at 400 – 450g

Are Self-Inflating or Air Sprung sleeping pads better for backpacking? 

Most users will choose an air mat over self-inflating because of lower weight and smaller packed size. However – a self-inflating mat is often quieter and sometimes more comfortable. At 600g, the new Pursuit Contour self-inflating mat is light and compact enough for many backpackers.
