Exped Down Mat 7
The Exped Down Mat 7 features down insulation that significantly reduces heat loss, which has been proven everywhere from the laboratory to trying expeditions. The Exped down mats also have a thick cushion of air that provides comfort and smooths out uneven ground, and since down compresses extremely well, can pack smaller than other insulated mats.

"Comfortable and warm but didn't last" 03/15/12
I got one of these for climbing Denali and it held up really well. It was the only mat I brought which worried me because if it failed I'd have lost a lot of insulation if I couldn't fix it. Overall it held up great and I'd use it again. However on my next trip the inner stitching between the inner tubes started to blow and I had huge bubbles develop towards the bottom (Still held air like new). The only other con is that it takes a while to inflate so if you are changing camps often and having to set it up and break it down it gets tiresome. I still love it though and recommend it, it's smaller than carrying two mats and amazing to get you off the sharp ice!
"Most comfortable mat ever" 03/08/12
just got done using this on a 10 day backcountry trip through the rockies. This made the trip way more enjoyable! Pumped it up till it was nice and firm, squeeze the inner valve to inflate the pumping chamber once you close the outer valve and you are set for a good nights sleep. Easily the warmest most comfy mat i have tried. Bottom line: it weighs a little more, is a little more labor intensive to setup than a self inflating mat, but is WAY more comfortable, and packs down to the same size as far less comfortable mats do.
"better than my mattress at home!" 01/08/12
Although a bit heavy, its the first sleeping pad where my bad back didn't hurt after waking up and left me refreshed for the next day! Amazingly warm for winter camping but I think this will be my new summer sleeping pad too due to sheer comfort alone!
"Really nice." 12/07/11
It took a little time to get used to the hand print pump.However it works great.This matt is really comfortable and keeps the cold from the ground away from You.It's a little heavy compaired to some matts but I think well worth it.
"Incredible mat...worth the weight" 06/05/11
At first I was worried about the weight of the downmat.....but if you are in winter camping, this is by far the best weight per r-value pad that you can get (there is actually one better...the downmat 9). Though smaller than the downmat 9 as far as thickness, I never once touched the ground. On a cold winter night when the ground is going to be your biggest enemy robbing you of warmth, no neoair or closed cell pad is going to keep you warm like a downmat. The fit and trim are impeccable....excellent product from exped. It just "looks" cool too....you'll definitely have bragging rights.
"Near perfect!" 02/10/11
After years of other thinner sleeping mats, I have finally found a mat I can sleep on, and is warm to boot. The bellows, which doubles as the bag's storage and can also be your pillow, can take a bit of getting used to, but I have no trouble inflating or deflating the mat, even in a small one-person tent. It packs no larger than a regular mat, and certainly no heavier. It can be very noisy on the floor of the tent, but I fixed that by puling a sleeping bag liner over it. Never look back!
"It's the pinnacle of cold weather comfort." 02/02/11
I like that the sides are slightly bigger than the middle to keep you from rolling off. I prefer the pump system it's there to control moisture. It feels good has a smooth velvety finish and makes no "chip bag" noises in the middle of the night. It has a R value of eight it takes 9 cm of closed cell foam to accomplish the same insulation. Large release valve makes deflating easy. It is not light weight but that is the point. Exped is innovative and build quality is superb. If you like a good night's sleep in cold weather stop reading this and buy one. PS... go for the 9 DLX

"When It's COLD this is what you want" 11/17/10
I have had the Down Mat 9 for 5yrs, I have used it in the heat of the summer and winter camping nights to -20. Yeah it's heavy, yeah it's a pain to pump, (although I hear the new ones are better) and it's too big to fit inside my bivy, but it's durable and it's warm, in the summer it's super comfortable and surprisingly not too warm. To be honest I am thinking about buying the down mat 9dlx which is even bigger, if it's not going to fit in my bivy then I may as well. :)A great product, well designed and built with quality materials
"Thick, Warm, Light, Comfortable" 11/01/10
I bought this pad to match up with my Big Agnus sleeping bag that is ment to be used with a pad via a sleeve. This pad is great. Pumps up in no time with the built in pump. I do wish it was a bit smaller but is definately worth every bit of space it takes up in my pack on those cold nights. If I had to do it all over again I might have gone with the Thermo light Neo Air. Chose the Exped because I knew it would keep me warm. The Neo-Air is uninsulated and depends on a reflective coating. Might invest in one of those for warmer weather later on.... :)
