Sea to Summit Sleeping Pad

An R-value of 3.1 makes this pad suitable for three-season use, generally covering spring, summer, and fall. It provides enough insulation to keep you warm on cooler nights, though it is not designed for deep winter camping or sub-freezing temperatures.

Yes, it is significantly more efficient than blowing it up by mouth. You simply attach the sack to the valve, fill it with air, and roll it to push the air into the pad, which keeps moisture out of the interior and prevents mold growth.

The Air Sprung Cells are specifically designed to mimic a pocket-sprung mattress, which provides excellent support for side sleepers. Because the cells act independently, they conform to your body shape and prevent the 'bouncy' feeling common in traditional air pads.

The pad is constructed from durable nylon with TPU lamination, which is designed to withstand standard backpacking use. While it is lightweight, it is robust enough for most trails, and the included repair kit allows for quick fixes if you do encounter a puncture.

No, the materials are specifically chosen to be quiet. Unlike some ultralight pads that use crinkly, metallic-sounding insulation, this model remains relatively silent even when you shift positions.

Yes, the multi-function valve features a fine-tuning button. You can press it to release small amounts of air incrementally until you reach your preferred level of firmness.
