I've been camping with my old Moto gear for a while. 1" air mattress. I woke up sore as hell. We were at Overland Expo, and I picked my self up one of these DeepSleep Mats. BEST sleep ever! What a difference in a night. Best purchase I made at the Expo!
Right out the box this mattress has some pros and cons that I can see. It does not actually self inflate, you will need to inflate it.
I was impressed with how comfortable it was on my floor, cant wait to use it camping or for drive in movie.
I was previously using a Luno and the foam in the Deepsleep is far superior for comfort.
However, when it comes to an overlanding trip EVERY inch is important and this mattress does not pack small. It is half the coverage of a Luno, but packs down to twice that of a packed Luno. I had hoped it would pack down about the same size since its half of a mattress but it doesnt.
Packing it down can also be an issue. Its very difficult to get all the air out and roll the foam, vs Luno you just roll it up and the air flows out. Would highly recommend getting a mini vac for getting the air out.
It comes with a pump but it lacks the toggle to use both as vacuum and pump.
Hoping the comfort it provides will offset the extra space it takes up and extra work it will require to set up and tear down 14 days in a row.
At first I was concerned because I had to put the passenger seat quite a bit up in order for the mattress to lay flat. But it turned out to be ok, and the mattress is comfortable. The valve was difficult to release but I finally got it. Obviously not made for elder hands.
I like absolutely everything about this product. It's amazing.
Love all the products. Do need instructions on how to use the vacuum to deflate the mat back to its original size
