Exped MegaMat Duo 10 im Test

I bought this for my camper van, as a topper for a mattress that is too firm. It is extremely comfortable! And the size is perfect for my camper. But there is an issue. When you first get the mattress, it is highly compressed and you are advised to open the inflate valve and let it fill for an hour, then use the included pump to inflate fully, and leave it for a day so the foam can decompress. All well and good. The challenge is trying to deflate the mattress. You open the deflate valve and roll it up, using your knee for pressure. You will need to do these several times to deflate fully, or fully enough to get it into the stuff sack. I appreciate that the sack has a longitudinal opening rather than a round one at one end, otherwise it would be impossible to get it back into the sack. But there is no closure; you have to twist it and secure with the shoulder strap. It wasn't obvious and there were no instructions. I'd prefer a zipper. When you get to your campsite you will need to open the inflate valve for about an hour to reinflate, then top off with the pump. The next morning you may want to deflate it to make room in your van, and that is, again, a PIA. If you have to deflate it every morning, then it will soon get tiresome. We simply deflate part-way and roll up and tie off to push it out of the way, but then it is bulky and takes up lots of space. So while I love to sleep on it, I am disappointed with the tedious process of full deflation. One thing I can add is that this would make a dandy 'guest bed' in your home, albeit expensive.

I was so hesitant to pay $200 for a camping pad despite obsessing over this one for some time. However after reading some reviews and the one that said it was the price of staying in a hotel, I was pushed over the edge. I rarely stay in hotels, mostly camp and thought I owe it to myself to get something decent. I am in love with this pad. There is no turning back. It is so easy to setup. I lay it out in my tent with the intake valve open to let a little air in and then later a few puffs (a minute) with the accompanying pump and voila, I have a comfortable pad. It is possible to have it very very firm or let a little air out and have a little give. Packing up, open the output valve and roll from the other end. The valves are great, easy to use and large enough. The bag it comes with is very convenient and easy to carry. I spent hours laying on it to read and then hours of sleeping. It is easy to get off of i.e. unlike an air mattress which sinks when you sit up, this stays firm. I also slept in 16 degree weather in my tent and felt well insulated. This is NOT a backpacking mattress as it is too big when rolled up but is perfect for car camping (I have a very small car)

I have MCS, so I am always sniffing at new stuff and allowing for weeks of airing and outgassing and spraying with vinegar and putting in sunlight.... Well, none of that needed with the Exped. My eagle nose smelled nada--except in the interior of the carry sack--that smelled a bit toxic and it is inside-out on the clothesline. I didn't think the directions to let it self inflate for at least an hour and then hand-puff it would work, but it did--I actually over inflated with a dozen pumps, for my comfort, and let some air out. Pretty quiet fabric (still a little "nylon-y", but cotton wouldn't wipe up well--that's what sheets are for.) I got the M width (about 26 inches) and normal length ( the 70 incher, not the XL) and while bigger is usually better, this feels fine (I'm 5'7, 165#) and will fit in my van better. Also, be careful of wider if you have a sleeping bag with a back sleeve that holds the mat --the 26 inch was pushing it with mine. Will be trying it out for 3 days next week--I anticipate being very happy I replaced my 4 inch foam trifold (my but or hip always fell into one of the fold creases; none of that nonsense with this pad.)

I followed the instructions and opened it for an hour. It self inflated pretty decent but one side seemed to be stuck. Left it overnight and it came up a little more. Used the air bag as directed and got it fully inflated. Left inflated a few days before my camping trip, then rolled it up and packed for travel. Set up tent and put inside to let it inflate itself. Came back several hours later to go to bed and it was maybe a quarter way inflated. Spent another 30 minutes pumping the little hand bellows. It is comfortable once inflated. Materials feel really nice and it doesn’t shift around too much like most inflatable mattresses, but just didn’t work the way I expected it to based off the first inflation. Guess I’ll be buying a battery powered pump before my next trip.

This sleeping pad has solved all my sleeping while camping issues! It is very comfortable. It is very easy to inflate and deflate. It fits in the back of my Subaru Forrester if I want to sleep in my car. It fits easily in a two person tent. There is absolutely zero smell to it, no chemical smell or anything! As the directions state, when you first open it up and it is brand new it is best to let it inflate for an hour, then add air with the hand pump, and then let it sit inflated for 24 hours. Then it inflates and fluffs up very quickly at your campsite from then on. Enjoy!!

Everybody made fun of me for the purchases but the next morning my buddies told me they weren’t able to get good sleep from waking up in the cold weather. Wouldn’t recommend for backpacking though. A little big to haul around.

I was planning on mainly using this for car camping and it worked great. I was very warm and paired woth a good sleeping bag. The temp was close to freezing outside. Since I moved apts, I've also been using it as my main mattress atop a Cabela's cot, and I've been very happy with the comfort and durability compared to a regular air mattress.

I love this Exped Megamat 10 MW sleeping pad 💜 It measures about 4 inches high, 26 inches wide and 71 inches long. I have a Sleep Number mattress at home. I have several health issues which make sleeping difficult and often painful. I can not skimp where sleeping comfort is concerned. There is memory foam inside that is condensed when deflated and expands quickly when inflating. This is so much more comfortable and cozy than a plastic air bubble or a foam mat. The combination of the two is what makes it so comfortable. I position the mat so the air valves are at the head so I can easily adjust the firmness based on my pain level that day. The little hand pump is very easy to use and only takes a handful of easy squeezes to top off the mat after it self inflates. When I car camp in my Prius, I use the MegaMat in the front and back seat on the passenger side so I can sleep on an incline. It is incredibly comfortable!!! I can even sleep on my side without any pressure on my shoulders, hips or knees. I am a petite 5' 1" so this placement will obviously not work for taller people. It fits perfectly in the rear passenger side with the 60% split seat laid flat. I do travel with small dogs so I wrap the mattress in a thick comforter to avoid damage from tiny nails. Sleeping in the front area of my Prius gives me easy access to the climate control. I can set the climate control to run off the battery while the car is in ready mode. If the battery gets low the gas engine kicks on for about a minute to recharge the battery. This allows for comfortable temperatures all night long. This and the 50 MPG are the two big reasons I chose a Prius for travel. Since space is a premium in the Prius I enjoy sleeping in the front away from my "stuff" which is primarily in the trunk area. I can't honestly say enough about this sleeping pad. If I can ever find a negative on this product I will be sure to leave an update.

I didn’t realize an innovative hand pump would come with the mattress! Super dope. BUT, upon unboxing, I noticed it would take a good 15min to pump it up by hand haha. Quickly went to go get my Intex floaty pump. Worked like a charm. Me and my GF hopped into my Subaru Outback Wilderness to test out the structural integrity… and… I gotta say, it’s 10 times more comfortable than my last car mattress (but doesn’t look as cool haha). I’m 6’1” 260lbs. I’m the kind of guy that has to be slow to sit on a foreign chair… cuz it might break on me… but this mattress feels like it will last me a long while. Honestly, even if this thing deflated on me, the mattress still has comfort to it.

This elevated our camping experience. We are in our late 30s and let’s face it, sleeping on the ground isn’t very comfy anymore. We really enjoy camping and thanks to this inflatable pad, we’ll be doing a lot more of it. It’s compact and lightweight which is a must for us as we are short on space when we fly with our camping gear. Easily inflates and also simple to deflate and fold back up.

Simply stunning comfort. Almost like being in an expensive bed at home. Couldn't ask for more. (There was a tiny leak when we first used the mattress but on re-reading the clear instructions about how to establish a good seal at the inflate/deflate ports, the leak was stopped and the mattress remained fully inflated for days). Fantastic. I have recommended to anyone and everyone.

Schnell und zügig, aufgebaut, zuverlässige Funktionalität

Sogar mit Bandscheibenvorfall super bequem und warm

Unglaublich bequem! Ist natürlich keine Matte zum Wandern, aber wenn man mit dem Auto unterwegs ist perfekt. Habe die Matte für ein paar Wochen zum Zelten benutzt, hab noch keine schelchten Erfahrungen gemacht.

Die absolut bequemste Matte in einer Top Qualität! Schlafen wie auf einer normalen Matraze.

Hab die Matratze nun seit 2 Jahren im Caddy (egal ob direkt mit ausgebauten Sitzen direkt am Boden oder auf dem Holz-Einbau) im Einsatz. Sie passt perfekt zu den Innenmaßen des Autos, somit wacht man Morgens nicht in irgendeinem Spalt auf und schläft wohlig warm und super bequem. Hat sich auch im Zelt total bewährt. Auch als Gästematratze ist sie bei uns ständig im Einsatz. Sie ist superschnell von selbst aufgeblasen und mit der beigelegten Pumpe entsprechend eingestellt. Das Material außen ist sehr angenehm, wir benutzen zum Schutz trotzdem immer ein 90er Spannleintuch (das perfekt drauf passt). Fazit: + Material (Langlebigkeit, angenehme Haptik) 5/5 + Handling (einfach, schnell) 5/5 + Komfort 5/5 Einzig die Lagerung ist (da die Matraze in aufgeblasenem Zustand gelagert werden soll) etwas mühsam, weil sie halt so doch einiges am Platz braucht. Über den Winter kommt sie bei uns daher gut eingepackt auf den trockenen (!) Dachboden. Die Expedprodukte sind ihr Geld einfach wert.

Sehr bequeme und robuste Matratze nur leider etwas zu gross für meinen Eigenbau im Fahrzeug. Muss wahrscheinlich die kürzere kaufen. Aufbau sehr einfach. Beim Zusammenlegen der Duo ist man besser zu zweit - dann ist es auch einfach. Nicht ganz billig aber das Geld ist sie wert.

Wir haben zwei der Matten als Matratze im Bus und schlafen da je zu zweit darauf. Wir und die Kinder 4 und 6 Jahre schlafen seit 2 Jahren sehr gut auf den Matten.

Wenn die zweite Person sich bewegt, merkt man nichts. Nicht wie die typischen Luftmatratzen. Ich schlafe privat auf einem Futon und jetzt habe ich auch beim Campen die Möglichkeit perfekt zu schlafen… Härte ist einstellbar… perfekte Matte… Luxuscamping… nichts für den Rucksack…

Nach 3 Wochen Camping: teuer, aber hat sich absolut gelohnt! Die Matte bläst sich (nahezu) von selbst auf, m. E. empfiehlt es sich, mit der mitgelieferten Pumpe nachzupumpen und dann den Druck anzupassen - das Teil ist dann einfach super bequem. Ich hatte die Matte mit einem Spannbetttuch aus Baumwoll-Frottee überzogen und darauf ohne Schlafsack sehr sehr gut geschlafen. Aufgrund des Packmaßes ist die Matte allerdings nur für den Campingeinsatz oder als Gästebett für Zuhause geeignet. --- Bewertung Vorgängermodell ---

7 Wochen Afrika Dauereinsatz im Roof Top Tent bestanden. Für den Einsatz in einem Ground Tent mit häufigem Packen eher weniger geeignet, da das Zusammenlegen doch etwas zeitaufwändiger und anstrengend ist. Auch das Nachpumpen auf die gewünschte Feste dauert mit der mitgelieferten Handpumpe. Super bequem, auch für 2 Personen.

Die Isomatte ist sehr bequem, auch wenn 2 Personen darauf schlafen ist sie sehr bequem. Bisher wurde die Isomatte als Gästebett genutzt, im Sommer wird sie beim Segelcamp von den Kindern auf Herz und Nieren geprüft.

nach Bandscheibenvorfall & co entschied ich mich, es im Campingurlaub nicht darauf ankommen zu lassen und gönnte mir die große Exped Matte (nebst zweier weiterer zum Probeliegen) Nachdem sich die Exped Matte schon beim Antesten gut anfühlte, bestätigte sich der Eindruck durch und durch. Super bequem, auch mit zwei Schläfern darauf wackelt die Matte nicht wie eine Luftmatratze. Bei zwei Personen muss man kein bisschen Nachpumpen. Und selbst wenn, gibt's ja die kleine FuPu mit dazu. Robust und hochwertig verarbeitet. Trotz ihrer Größe lässt sich sich relativ leicht wieder verstauen. Daumen hoch! --- Bewertung Vorgängermodell ---

.. von einem Luftbett. Egal ob beim Camping oder im Bus, schlafe ich auf der Exped -fast- besser als auf meiner normalen Matratze... Auch wenn der Preis anfangs schon sehr schmezhaft war. But: you get what you pay for, diesmal im positiven Sinne zu verstehen ;-)

eignet sich gut zum im Freien schlafen
