Tested by IvyEverything in this shop went out on a real trip with me before it earned a listing. Wet, cold, dropped, packed out. This one passed.
An R-value of 9.5 is winter-cabin insulation, not summer-car-camping insulation. That is what this memory foam self inflating sleeping pad puts between your hip and frozen ground, 3.1 inches of 19D high-density foam and air.
R-value 9.5, ASTM tested blocks the cold the ground pulls out of you all night.
Inflates in under 30 seconds with your foot: three valves open for 10 seconds, then 20 seconds on the intake.
Adjustable firmness, let air out for soft or add it for firm, on the same pad.
19D foam tested to 10,000 compressions, so it does not flatten into a mat by the third season.
Quiet surface that does not crinkle when you roll over, which your tent partner notices more than you do.
6.5 pounds with a shoulder carry bag, honest car-camping weight for mattress comfort.
One cold night on this and the old three-quarter-inch pad goes in the donation pile.
