This is a great pad for backpacking because it is light and easy to inflate. The only downside is that it squeaks when you move around, as I do a lot. You may disturb others in the shelter.

This item is thin, compact, and light weight. I feel it is little over priced for the product. I aired up in ten breaths. Main down side for me was noisy every time I rolled over.

I just used this sleeping pad about a week ago while hammock camping about 4000 feet up on a mountain (4 nights), which I was concerned I would lose too much body heat and fall victim to Hypothermia since I was up off the ground. I'm not 100% sure about the product's actual insulation rating and it was not the coldest of mountain nights, but I remained warm and cozy during the entire mountain night and early mountain morning, even when rain soaked some of my hammock and sleep gear. The pad dried out in less than 15 minutes in the morning, which was pretty good to get back on the move.
To talk about the length, I thought it might be a little too long for a hammock, but I think a longer one is much better for hammock camping and it fit very well. Getting situated on the pad in a hammock was slightly challenging (not the pads fault though), it took a bit of careful shifting around but once you figure out a method it gets much easier and then you become faster at getting ready for night (practice set up and getting situated a few times before taking on a trail with you).
Lastly, one of the main reasons I went with this product over similar priced competitor products is because of the weight and size. It is one the lightest products in the $40 price range I could find. My buddy actually bought a comparable one from a competitor to take on the trail with us (same priced one on AMZN) , which gave me the ability to compare them both. The competitor's pad wasn't bad at all, but it was a bit heavier and bulkier than the Sleepingo I bought, and seems less insulated so I am really glad I stuck with the Sleepingo. On the trail, every ounce adds up so I was pleased that I cut about a pound from my normal foam sleeping pad (& ounces from the competitor's pads), and for the price I do not think you will not get anything lighter and warmer, to my knowledge. There were a few advantages with the comparable competitors but not enough to veer away from the Sleepingo that I bought (i.e. airpump/airpillow/stuffsack), especially when it comes to insulation for the price.

Hammock campers: If you are on a budget and concerned about losing body heat at night - one option is to bring a mylar car window sun shade to lay on top of the pad. Lay on the mylar side and they pretty much trap in heat similar to a mylar blanket. Those car shades weigh very little, can serve several purposes, and only cost about $5. So instead of paying $150 for a really fancy high end insulated pad, you pay $40 for a really nice insulated pad and $5 for some added "insurance" insulation. I did not need to use the mylar car window sun shade but I had it with me just in case.

All in all, I am very please with the quality and functionality of this product, and this pad [along with a Mylar car window sun shade] will be going with me everywhere unless I am camping in the winter.
*Be cautious to prevent hypothermia, whether using this pad or any other pads. Know your gear and test your gear and methods ahead of time, don't get stuck in a compromising situation in the middle of nowhere. I would not want anyone to jeopardize their safety thinking what works for me will definitely work for them, or perhaps jeopardize safety by misinterpreting or missing certain context. There is no exact science to combat mother nature and the elements, while it's great to seek advice from others (and important) - a lot of it is thought, planning, and trial and error. Happy trails everyone...

My old Thermorest had done its job, and was living out its last leaky days at Cub Scout camp outs. So needing a new camping sleep pad I started my search with Thermorest. After 20 years, not much had changed. Still well made, but still bulky, heavy, and pricey. Camping tech has progressed so much that I figured there must be something lighter. And there are. Lots of them. Trouble is, for a decent rated pad from a brand know for quality camp gear, I was looking at $100+. I'm not the avid camper I once was so I can't justify the cost. If the pad wasn't super expensive, it had high failure rates (i.e. lots of crappy reviews) Enter Sleepingo.

$40 and 4.7 stars with over 2,000 reviews. Negative reviews seemed like mostly user errors, so I figured it was worth a shot.

Best decision ever!

First trip out was a Boyscout campout that was a serious mud fest. It made old pictures of Woodstock seem like a dry clean field. Mud however, does not equal soft comfortable ground to sleep on. It means your tent floor is going to mold itself around any rock, stick, twig, or clump of grass you were on top of, just so it can poke you in the back all night. Think grandma's old lumpy guest bed, with sticks and rocks added in and your getting there (hmmm....Sleepingo will be packed for the next visit now that I think about it).

The other challenge with that much mud is slogging all the camp gear for 30 people a 1/4 mile to your "camp site". Everything feels 10 times heavier. I was extremely glad to not have been carrying my heavy old sleep pad.

Set up was easy. Lung power gets the job done in about a minute, but the valve will take a standard pump hose if you brought one.

Given how thin and light the pad was, I had my concerns that I'd be hitting the ground, even with it full of air. NOPE! the design kept all 200+ lbs of me off the ground. Did a quick shoulder down side sleeper test and even then I wasn't hitting ground. NICE!

Next concern was that I'd end up on a thin sheet of plastic by morning. NOPE! No leak loss...NONE. First time I've EVER that I've had a pad not leak even a little bit.

At the end of the mud ball express camp-out (we left early due to dangerous storms inbound) I did not take the time to roll the Sleepingo back up nicely. It got scrunched up mud and all and tossed into a bugout trashbag with the rest of my muddy gear.

When I did get to clean it, a day later, I had been so impressed with the Sleepingo's durability, that I thought I'd put it through one more test. I don't think 1800 psi from a pressure washer is recommended by the manufacturer, but I was feeling bold and didn't think a regular hose would cut through the dried on mud. The Sleepingo took it like a champ. No holes (thankfully), no fraying, no signs at all that the Sleepingo took what my deck could barely handle!

Mud gone, and plenty of sunshine to dry it out, the Sleepingo was dry in 30 minutes. I Inflated it and left it that way for 3 days to make sure I hadn't damaged it. Once again, no air leaks. None at all!

Last, but not least, customer service. Not that I needed to call or anything, but I got a letter from the company owner (sorry I can't remember your name at the moment) a couple of weeks after my purchase thanking me and asking politely for a review. The letter was hand addressed. Sleepingo a smaller company still, but that letter made a positive impression.

TL;DR - Best, toughest, and most bang for the buck sleeping pad out there! Great people at Sleepingo!

Update: 3 years and many campouts later and the Sleepingo is still a champ! Absolutely no leaks. Have bought 3 more since then and all have stayed airtight and comfy too.

I had previously bought a different lightweight inflatable pad on Amazon from another manufacturer for about the same price which started leaking after 5 or 6 uses, so I was a bit skeptical when ordering this new one. I like the easy valve on this design, to inflate just blow in and when there is enough pressure there is a little rubber flap that is forced closed so you can twist of the cap without losing your air. This system doesn't restrict the airflow going in so it inflates pretty easily and quickly. Then when deflating you can just grab the rubber flap and partially pull it through the hole and the mattress empties quickly as you roll it up. Speaking of packing it up, this rolls up small and is really lightweight, about 8 oz lighter than my previous one. Great addition to my sleeping gear, though I do use a gossamer gear 1/8" foam pad on top to help with slipping and to provide a little more insulation. I hope to get a lot more use out of it and will post an update if I have any issues.
