EXPED Recommendation
ISO-rated sleeping bags are tested with 7R mats. EXPED recommends using a sleeping mat with an R-Value of at least 6.5 or higher to ensure your sleeping bag provides the warmth it is rated for.
FAQs
What is R-value?
R-value is a measure of thermal resistance. It indicates the efficiency of insulation by measuring its resistance to heat transfer. The higher the number, the slower the rate of heat transfer through an insulation.
In EXPED sleeping mats, higher R-values help sleepers retain the heat their bodies generate and the result is the pleasant and sometimes elusive condition called warmth!
Can I use an electric pump to inflate my sleeping mat?
You can use the EXPED Widget electric pump or Ultra Pump to inflate your mat. These pumps are relatively low power and can be used for all EXPED mats and pillows. We do not recommend the use of any non-EXPED electric pumps because overinflating your mat or pillow with a pump that is too high-powered can cause irreparable damage.
My backpacking mat has a puncture. What can I use to repair it?
We include a temporary repair kit with an adhesive patch for quick fixes while out on a trip. Simply follow the instructions in the repair kit that came with your mat.
For more permanent repairs we recommend the EXPED Mat Field Repair Kit. You can also employ the use of some helpful repair tools from our friends over at GEAR AID such as Tenacious Tape and Seam Grip. We've included some helpful repair videos below on how to use all of these items.
Do not use rubber cement, duct tape, or plumber’s tape to try to repair punctures, tears, or valves.

REPAIR VIDEOS:
How do I clean my mat?
The first step is to make sure all valves are fully closed. We recommend cleaning your mat with warm water and a mild soap. Do not use bleach to clean your mat. If needed, you can use a rag or soft sponge to carefully scrub the mat.
After using soap, rinse it well and lay it out to air dry. Do not put your mat in a washing machine or dryer. Make sure your mat is completely dry before putting it away.
How should I store my mat?
Store your mat in a cool, dry place and out of reach from pets with claws (ask our repair shop how we know).
