Sleeping pads

Camping mats lie between you and the cold ground. They soften stones and bumps and stop the cold from below. As a result, you sleep better and wake up fit the next day. That is great at the campsite, but especially on a trek with your tent.

Why camping mats matter so much

A mat keeps the warmth near your body, because the cold of the ground cannot get through. A mat with insulation holds on to that warmth well. Besides, it feels soft. You no longer feel twigs or stones under your back. So you lie still and sleep through the night.

Size counts too. You fold a foam mat in a few seconds. A self-inflating mat rolls up tight, so it fits small in your backpack. Both are light, so you hardly notice them on your back.

What should you look for?

First, look at the weather. Are you camping in the cold? Then choose a mat with good insulation. In summer, it can be thinner. Also check the weight if you walk a lot. A mat of EVA foam is light and lasts a long time. Do you camp with the car at a campsite? In that case, weight matters less and the mat can be thicker. Finally, do you want more comfort? Then add a pillow to your mat.
