Different sleeping mats are required for different scenarios

Outdoors who are most sensitive to sleeping mats must be ashes backpackers rather than climbers, because they will go camping in various places throughout the year-from the most comfortable weekend car camping to the harsh winter. The sleeping pads required for these scenes are different. Although there is also a pad of strong people who walk the world, matching different scenes can get a better outdoor experience.
When it comes to specific scenarios, the R value of the sleeping pad is not the only reference. It is necessary to comprehensively consider the R value, comfort, size, volume, reliability, and so on. The following will provide some scenario suggestions:
Comfort is king: car camping/light outdoor When weight and size are almost not a problem, comfort is the supreme demand. Luxuriously widened and suede self-inflating cushions are the best choice for this type of leisure activity. This is like moving Simmons on the bed at home to a campsite. With a foam cushion, you can sit on the ground, have a picnic and barbecue, and read a book by leaning against a tree.
People often say that sleeping outdoors is better than at home.
Choose what you like: spring and summer hiking and camping
The sun is shining, the temperature is comfortable, and the night temperature is 10°C. In relatively relaxing hiking and camping activities, a foam cushion should be attached to the backpack. It is not beautiful enough? You can also bring an inflatable cushion or self-inflating cushion in your bag. For low-to-medium-intensity trekking and camping, you can mix and match sleeping mats at will, just find your own love. The only thing worth noting is that the size of the sleeping pad should not be too wide, and the matching with the tent should be considered.
You can play whatever you want in a comfortable environment, and it's the time to find your equipment preferences.
Lightweight is supreme: long-term crossing/lightweight walking
Long-term traversal of more than 3 days, the whole journey is self-supporting, a lot of supplies, and the backpack space is limited, at this time a small and light inflatable cushion is the first choice. Remember to bring the sleeping pad patch, usually a set will be given when you buy it. Prudent mountain friends often bring foam cushions for emergencies.
