Bessport Sleeping Pad for Camping Compact Camping Mat Waterproof, Lightweight, Fast Inflatable for Backpacking Hiking Tent

Here's why. I got a couple of pads to test. I was very hopeful about this one as it is represented a 14.1 oz. I was initially disappointed because by feel, it is noticeably heavier than others when it should have been the lightest. So, I weighed it Just shy of 17oz. However since its 3-4" wider than others I thought I'd experiment with it. The interior of the chambers seemed to have bound with itself causing difficult inflation and popping noises as the chambers separated under pressure. Also, the one-way valve likes to pop out allowing the pad to deflate. However, if you push it in very hard it will stay. So, with the chambers continuing to pop and expand I tested it against the others. As a side sleeper, based on width it was the clear comfort winner. So, at 17 oz, I did some quick math and concluded that for all the additional mass compared to the other narrower pads, this is about the same weight per square unit. I'm keeping this one. HOWEVER... It didn't hold air which is somewhat important I'm led to believe. So, I'll be returning it and attempting to replace it with the same model. I hope the seller corrects the weight claim. As always, test your gear before use.

This has the potential to be an excellent product. I have never used one before and decided it was time to lighten up from my thin air mattress that required me to have a pump.It took a minute to get used to blowing up as it does not have the same type air valve as an inner tube or pool float. It did take about 15 breaths to get it fully inflated. My favorite part is that it did not leak. Over a full weekend of use, I never had to reinflate it.It is WAY too big for my hammock. Guess I should have checked out the measurements better. Along with being too big, it is very slippery. I woke up a couple times with the foot of the pad off the right side of my hammock and the head off the left. I can fix that with a little Dycem to help hold it in place next time.Overall, I totally recommend it. I may get another smaller one for future hammock trips, but I'm definitely keeping this one to use on a cot or the ground.

Must make sure to wet the valve cap when installing it or doesn’t seat properly. Once you know this trick it will not loose any air. Very comfortable.

Bought two. Was in back country in Sierras and RMNP. Compact and easy to inflate and breakdown and get moving. Also good to just rest cowboy style. I'm 6 foot 200 lbs and I liked it when it wasn't fully inflated.

So nice this sleeping mat is.My family members like it a lot when we are traveling outside.It is portable, comfortable, light and easy to use.Honestly, I recommend this product to you.

It is light and easy to carry, but slippery and not very comfortable without a built in pillow.

Haven’t tried out on the trail yet but tested at home successfully. Very light and compact for the size of the sleeping pad. Took more breaths than expected to inflate the first time to puff up/ release all the sections.

Lightweight and comfortable, but quite slippery. Kept sliding around during night.
