A good sleep-pad for the cold months( minus 2 to minus 7 celcius)

[Emil0509]

As the title, i live in Denmark. And i want a good sleeping pad or atleast some advise of some good choices but first..

I have these regular sleep mats made of some cheap foam, I think is okay thick though but again(weighs nothing). My first question would you upgrade to some Therm-A-Rest type which there is alot of talk and videos about. If yes which model it will primary be used in a tent or some other tarp setup. I just want to be warm and sleep allright. If the only benefit is the comfort is is then worth it? I have no back issues, and never had

What is your opinion?

Expensive but worth it, I have and would buy again an Exped Downmat.

I'm sure others will have other ideas too!

A Dutch foam mattress roll is what iv used for years, bit Bulky but light and tough

You can carry two foam mats for a bit more weight and half the price of a good inflatable.

When I sleep out in those temperatures I use a very cheap supermarket foam pad with a heat-reflective metallised top layer on it under my AlpKit Dozer inflatable. Perfectly comfortable and highly recommended if you can carry the bulk (and the price).

My favorite too.
Used to good effect in the arctic in winter ( on top of pine boughs )

Best.

Exped Downmat 9LW here - it's like taking your own bed with electric blanket!

I love my Exped Downmat, but I wouldn't fancy spending a cold night on it if it popped - it would be like sleeping on the ground. I think I might take a closed cell foam mat to put underneath it if the weather were going to be cold, just in case.

If its going to be really cold I use a thermarest dreamtime... It's amazing, if a little bulky and expensive.

i am considering a down mat though as I have heard nothing but great things about them.

Thats my thinking re-arctic trips Ns.
Old Therma-Rest for most UK overnighters.

I use a Thermarest NeoAir All Season pad and I love it. It is very warm and weighs about a pound. It also packs down small. I used to use a closed cell foam pad before, and this was a big upgrade in terms of comfort, insulation, and ease of packing. I've also been thinking about getting the Thermarest NeoAir XTherm, which is supposed to be a little lighter and warmer.

I have a pacific outdoor aerogel mat, aerogel is a superb insulator. I've never used it in extreme cold temperatures but it's certainly very comfy
