Exped Downmat 7 Sleeping Pad Exped: Downmat 7 Sleeping Pad

Award winning design makes this down-filled insulating pad perfect for pitching on snow and ice.
Warm up to the notion of sleeping on snow and cold rocks with Exped's Downmat 7 air mattress. This down-filled mattress features high loft goose down with three times the insulating warmth of any mat with a similar weight so it helps keep your backpacking and climbing sleeping bags working at their optimal thermal rating potential. Exped noted in recent studies that heat loss to the ground is often three times greater than heat loss to exposed air which means that many climbers snowshoe enthusiasts and winter backpackers are better off spending their money on a better mattress than warmer sleeping bags with lower temperature ratings. The Exped Downmat 7 air mattress can reduce heat loss by a staggering 65% and because the mattress is insulated with down instead of foam it packs into a diminutive 10 x 5 in. stuff sack. While the Exped Downmat 7 air mattress could compress further light foam barriers built into the mattress prevent the down from sifting through the valves or migrating between the baffled chambers eliminating cold spots. This Exped Downmat 7 includes a distinctive pump/packsack that allows quick and full inflation within minutes so you never have to worry about the humidity in your breath dampening the down fill (the down fill has a special Nocar treatment to minimize condensation throughout many seasons of use). If you need a little more cushion and more thermal protection for outright frigid conditions check out the Exped Downmat 9.

Good and warm lots of cushion yet a bit narrow and much easier to blow up by mouth instead of using the bag Loved the ease of packing it small and compact

Exped downmat 7 is well made rugged sleeping mat. It packs small and is warm creating a barrier between you and the ground. Comfort level is great.

I really like this product. I was initially drawn to this ground pad due to its packed size. It functions nice and provides a comfortable night sleep on both hot and cool evenings. Despite my apprehension from several reviews that I read the stuff sack/bellows pump are remarkably easy to use and it appeared the nativities reviews I read relating to this topic were nothing more than a case of someone taking gear into the field before they knew how to use it. I would highly recommend this product.

I like to keep it simple. Image: 3 Stars

I thought the drysack/pump bag was a bit strange. You fill the sack with air while it is connected to the valve and then press or roll the air trapped in the bag and make it go into the valve. It took some practice but it also took time. After I was familiar with the whole operation I then tried the Pillow Pump it was much better! Throw the drysack out! I would never use the Pillow Pump as a pillow though it's a small piece of foam with a hard plastic valve on it. I prefer my thick down jacket as my pillow. So now I have two items to store and take care of instead of only one I have the pad and the pump. Do I also have 28 oz of pad and now a pillow pump to add to it? I can't help thinking if it's a little bit of a pain in my living room what's it going to be like when it's raining or when it's dark or when I'm really tired? I had to pull the plug and send the Exped 7 back I'm going to go with the Thermarest Prolite 4 it's half a pound lighter and easier to use open the valve and throw it in the tent.
