I know this is an older video of a naturhike pad. But i was wondering if you could review a different naturhike pad. It is the "ultralight naturhike high R-Value (5.8) inflatable mat" or TUYE5.8 My biggest concern with this thing would be the actual warmth. As the price is around 100/120€ a 80/100€ jump to a thermarest x-therm is quit steep but if it isn't warmer then a summer R3~ pad then it simply is 120€ wasted. Happy new year!

Good review and explanation. I recently watched a video of David Canterbury about sleeping pads/air matrasses. I'm not trying to advertise his channel here in any way but he reviewed some sleeping pads and said some stuff that makes a lot of sense. Realize what kind of sleeper are you. A side sleeper you will need a thicker pad. Do you move around a lot, don't get a mummy shaped pad cause you will roll off. Out of my own experience, I once bought a superlight mummy shaped therm-a-rest that was like 100 euro's. First time I tried it, I found out my arms were outside the mat on the cold ground. These thin ultralight mummy pads are prob fine for 100 pounds skinny girls. But I'm a 200 pound ex army recon operator. I'm 177 cm almost 5 foot 8" and got wide shoulders. Wide as in with a box in my hands, I will not fit through a normal doorway but have to go sideways. The sleeping pad I ended up buying was a Exped Synmat 9. My advise is: A sleeping pad is like buying a pair of shoes. You have to try them on. Don't believe advertising or reviews. Go to a store and try it. And please don't be a douche to try it out in a store and then buy it online to save some money. 👍

👆 Underrated comment. I'm 172cm, 66kg & with swimmer's shoulders. I've also got the hips to match, I roll around, & I'm a side-sleeper. In my experience, nothing thinner than 8cm, or narrower than 65cm is remotely practicable as a sleeping surface, for me. Guys, do your research before you commit money, buy once & cry once. If you look around, you might even come across a bargain that fits all your criteria, _&_ your wallet. Good luck, everyone!

I cannot comment here. I have never tried a double-sided sleeping pad. Still, I try to stay open-minded. It might be just the right model for somebody, you never know. For house tent camping, I use an ultra-comfortable carp bed. It was really expensive, but for the two weeks we do usually well worth the money. For motorcycle camping, I use a 12 cm thick, inflatable mat. I will try to get an additional ultralight stretcher on my bike. Might be too much though...

I've had this pad for about a year and I really do like it but like it weights a lil heavy when I bring it around. But to me it's comfortable to sleep but I always inflate both side well and I never touch the ground. It also doesn't make as much noise as others I've tried. I always sleep well in it compared to my other pad. Usually I would inflate the bottom part more so it is stiff that part and then the other part to my liking.

For backpacking I used an old 'self-inflating' mattress (still had to top-it-off). Thin, compact, very light weight, strapped it to the side of the backpack (wherever it would fit to keep the treasured inside pack space for high-value items), and it kept most rocks from jabbing you - you learn how to prep a sleep area quickly. However, after too many years I had to retire it. Trapped hot humid air gets funky and potentially unhealthy. I still use a so-called self-inflating mattress; still have to top it off, but use a small palm size pump with a universal adapter. It's been a while, but still paid under $40 total. I tried the pool mattress - once, and gave it up; not just because of the quality issue, but you slip and slide all night long. Good sleep mattress will have at least one side treated to prevent that.

@Redwood Rebelgirl Also called a pumpsack. Any sort of lightweight plastic or nylon bag that you can easily fill with air and then has a connector that you attach to an air mattress to push all that air into the air mattress. Imagine a small/medium sized kitchen garbage bag with a rubber nozzle attached to one of the corners. You can very easily fill the bag with air, roll the open end closed, then push the air into your mattress. The very first one I used was an Instaflator. Originally designed for pool toys, it's 7' long and 12" in diameter and made of very lightweight clear plastic. No longer in production. For a while MSR sold a nozzle kit with a clear plastic bag that you could turn into a pump sack. I have one of those too. Nowdays, many fabric pump sacks are sold separately, but some are also sold with some air pads. The fabric ones can double as a stuff sack while in your pack. The ultralight Instaflator is too fragile to use for anything but inflating a mattress.

The weight itself should already have been a red flag. For this weight you could have purchased a proper pad with 10cm thickness for full comfort, but you would be blowing air into it like crazy. Frankly, most people just get a pad under 500g and live with a little bit of discomfort. Better than the bottom of the tent, or worse, the cold hard floor. Even the ultralight pads from the named brands don't work well for taller and heavier people. Can't help taller people, but you can surely solve it for heavier people, up to a certain limit though if you know what I mean. You need to find a way to work around these ultralight pads. One of the ways is to have something like the Gossamer Gear Thinlight Foam Pad and lay it under the sleeping pad, and it does not add much more weight to your system. If your backpack requires a foam pad of sorts to give it support, then this is a plus to the multi-functionality of the foam pad. And then your sleeping bag, although not very thick, adds another layer of cushioning. And also there is the footprint and base of your tent. Of course it helps a lot if you set up in a grassy spot and not a hard place with a lot of gravel.

One sleeping pad that you could review is the Outwell Dreamcatcher 7.5 cm (3"). It is not made to pack in your backpack. It is way too bulky for that. But if you have transportation to your camping spot it is a sleeping pad that I can recommend you to try. I have both the 7.5cm and the 12cm (4.7") XXL version. The XXL version is a dream to sleep on. On both you can easily adjust the comfort with the valve while lying on them. A good night sleep is a good start for your next day on your camping trip.
