This airmat filled with synthetic fiber is super comfortable, warmer and lighter than regular sleeping mats. The SynMat packs down small thanks to the microfiber filling that compresses extremely well. Quick inflation with the ingenious integrated pump.
The SynMats do not reach the insulating properties of our DownMats but offer the same comfort, low weight and compact packed size. They come at a lower price point as synthetic fiber is cheaper in cost than the goose down found in our DownMats. The weight to warmth ratio is far superior to standard foam filled sleeping mats.
- Both low profile valves (pat. pend) one for inflation and the other for deflation ensure ease of use. As the valves are flat and not on the mat‘s edge they do not protrude and are therefore protected and durable.
- Welded baffles between the microfiber filled chambers, unlike traditional airmats, eliminate cold spots and create a comfortably supportive and stable air cushion.
- Laminated polyester fabric is both durable, airtight and humidity resistant. The shell‘s top surface is of brushed polyester fabric that provides excellent slip resistance and comfort next to the skin. The seams are high frequency welded for durability.
- Two loops at the head end can be used to secure the packsack to the mat when used as a pillow.
- Light and warm: The Synmat 7 LW has a heat resistance value of 4.9. At about the same weight a standard 2.5 cm self inflating mat only offers a R-value of 2.5. EMPA tests demonstrated that regular mats lose 3x more heat to cold ground than to the air. The conclusion is that a warmer mat is more important than a warmer sleeping bag.
- Included: repair kit with adhesive and fabric patches.

I finally found an excellent camping mattress. Packed into a small space, it provides a large sleeping pad and is a luxury in camping. On top of all that, when using a tent, it is not possible to collect all the cones and tree roots, etc. from under the tent, because a 7cm thick air mattress flattens the bumpy ground. Exped synmat 7LW is also very cold insulating and does not form moisture on the surface of the mattress caused by condensation.

Very warm and comfortable sleeping mat! I'm about 182cm and 110kg, broad shoulders. This was very nice to sleep on, and for sleeping in the Finnish fall (early to mid oct) it was more than warm enough. The cushion and thickness can out you closer to your shelter, so be mindful of that when selecting or setting up a shelter. Packs up easily, set's up easily, easy to adjust. An all round decent product. Might be too warm for the Finnish summer, but let's find out, better warmer than cold!
Excellent sleeping pad. It has been with me on all my trips for several years and my wife was bought a similar one. I still spent the night on the island on a canoe trip in October, sleeping in a tent on an open rock with this and there has been no information about the cold. When filling, make sure that the filling does not get between the valves. If you can, the platform will empty slowly during the night and you will have to pump it full in the middle of your dreams.
