POWERLIX Camping Sleeping Pad - Ultralight Inflatable Camping Mattress Sleeping Mat for Backpacking, Hiking, Compact Lightweight Sleeping Pad for Camping, Inflation Bag/Repair Kit Included

Packs some and is easy to inflate. Quality seems good. Seems like I will get more than my money’s worth out of this camping mat.

I compared this to a Klymit ultralight sleeping pad I purchased for my spouse. This has larger dimensions, similar weight, an interesting and useful inflating system that uses a bag (think of an ambu-bag for cpr). This was a little more comfortable and has a higher R rating than the Klymit, is a little slower to inflate but doesn't leave you breathless. With practice I could probably inflate it quicker (there was a learning curve). All in all, this is a great product at almost half the price. It should serve you well if you're just getting into backpack camping until you decide on a more expensive level of gear.

I've used this product 6 nights on various ground conditions during the summertime, including packed gravel and woodlands. It's durable and you can be reasonably assured this will not pop in the middle of the night, granted you've done some very basic clearing of your site for comfort. The ripstop fabric is impressively tough while maintaining comfortability,r factor, and quietness. *Personally, I think similar pads with thicker materials/higher weight would be durability overkill, especially for ultralight. C'mon. It's very comfortable for what it is and I'd be surprised to see any drastic difference with much more expensive, heavy pads. The cellular design pattern really does mold to the body in a way that mimics a much deeper mattress. The included pump bag is very efficient and can serve as a temporary waterproof bag(non submersible) in a pinch, which I thought was a nice touch. Havent put it inside a sleeping bag but im sure that would be a glove fit. The material is water resistant and Im confident it would operational with a very wet footprint. I did use this in a bad rainstorm and i was much more confident in this oad than my tent's rainfly. I bought this because of its portability and I am satisfied with its pack size and ease of disassembly. High quality 2 way valve and storage bags with secure sinches. Tip: I have found it easier to inflate, deflate, and fold this pad ontop of my tent or a Ridgeline, and this can GREATLY reduce chances of punctures. It's also easier to fold the pad more precisely. Lastly, I did what you're doing right now. All the reviews, comparing identical products, with or without the pillow scooter stick. They're all very nice but this once is actually a reliable addition to your long term set up. I'm gladly taking this on an extended backpacking trip in very diverse terrain, and am fairly certain I will continue to use this camping for 5 years. Not to be that guy, but if you take care of this equipment and look out for pointy sticks, loose keys, and nearby sources of heat/fire, this pad will probably last over ten years. The camo is pretty playful and not aggressive, although I would have chosen a high visibility color for multi use. I gave 4 stars only because I like to break up the data and also I feel that this product could have been a fraction lighter/smaller in packaging size, but very marginally. It's very pack size cost effective. Update: AUG 2023...The pad is still working perfectly as designed. One must ensure that all valve caps are firmly closed on pad because I did awake to a slightly deflated pad once. The toughness of the ripstop is holding up pretty well. Valves are intact. Bag is functional. Minimal to no wear on either. I used this pad another 10 nights (about 16 nights total?) In more diverse conditions, some with moderate debris, and no punctures. The comfort level is highly dependent on slope angle of site, debris removal, and absence of rocks/bumps. More expensive pads appear to be more comfortable but I have yet to test any in real time conditions. This pad suffices. Update april 2024:Pad has failed with 10+ leaks invisible to eye. I patched these holes with repair sealant but still defalt3d very quickly. All of the holes were in the seams between hexagonal bubbles. Irreparable.

UPDATE: Have to give it a five, for three reasons. 1. Super easy to wipe the detritus from the black side. 2. Got it back into both bags, easily, **the very first time**. 3. Noticed that patch kits are sewn into the seam at the top of the carry bag, with clear instructions. Really thoughtful details. Clearly designed by people who camp. Or, maybe, love people who camp. Or, maybe, loathe people who camp and make good stuff so that the people will stay away, camping, for as long as possible. Pick your favorite reason. The outcome is the same: a great pad that does what it says, and does it really well. _________________________________________ If I could give 4.5, I would. The filling process and time knock it down a bit. Not comfortable giving a five, but am just on the edge! When the box arrived and the app said it was the ground pads, I thought it was an error. How could a box that small hold two of them? It did, with room to spare! The next thing I noticed was how lightweight these ground pads are! Holy wow! Also? There is an outer carry bag, and then the inner bag, with the pad inside. The inner bag is the filling tool. Neat and sweet. FILLING: Wellll…. The good news, you do not have to blow it up from your lungs! The better news, the pad side has a filter, so that even if you get weird stuff in the air bag, it won’t go into your pad. The somewhat less good, but maybe it will become faster in time, is how long it takes to fill. 12 minutes in, I am about half way there. It will give your neck and arms something to do, so there’s that. (Don’t you hate it when you are camping, and you’re just standing there, not knowing what to do with your arms?) On the other hand, I thought I had to take the air bag off after each emptying. Shortcut for the curious: you do not have to do that. At 25 minutes, I could no longer force air into it, and I am a strong sister. So, I grabbed my XPOWER air duster, which had a tip just the right size, and finished it with that. I think I will do it that way, more often than not. COMFORT Solid win, those little honeycomb air pockets gave me so much support! Even lying on my side. Truly comfortable. As in, going to place with more people than beds, I would happily whip this little gem out! Also, the length is no joke. It is long enough for me to lie straight out, and still have room for my 65-pound, tall and gangly dog to be off of the ground, as well. EMPTYING Not as difficult as filling. Not as difficult as other pads I have used. In fact. Pro tip: offer to break them down if your camping buddy will fill them. Your camping buddy will be all about the snappy filling tool. Everybody wins!

Ok, I’ve had this since early 2025 and finally reviewing it. The design of this air mat is interesting in theory, but the execution falls short of what you'd expect for a reliable piece of gear. The most immediate frustration is the inflation process; the included bag is incredibly labor-intensive and requires significant physical effort to get the pad even remotely firm. If you’re looking for a quick setup after a long day of hiking, I’d highly recommend looking for a self-inflating model or one with a more efficient pump system instead, as this one will definitely test your patience and your muscles. Beyond the setup, the design itself feels lacking compared to other options. Unlike the upgraded version of this model, this specific unit doesn't come with an integrated pillow, so you’ll have to account for the extra cost and pack space of buying one separately. To make matters worse, I found it nearly impossible to fold the mat back into its original carrying bag. No matter how I tried to roll it, it ended up being a bulky, messy bundle that wouldn't fit neatly back in my pack. The real dealbreaker, however, was the build quality. The mat failed its primary job by completely deflating overnight, leaving me waking up on the hard ground with a very sore back. Because it doesn't seem to hold air reliably, the ultralight concept just isn't worth the lack of comfort and durability. Between the difficult setup and the overnight deflation, it’s a one-star experience for me.

I'm going to use the pad this weekend for the first time in routine conditions for an overnight weekend backpacking trip. Overall I didnt expect much, but the pad did surprise me and was better than most, but not as good as some. I am an active outdoorsman, and go camping at least once a month with the Scouts. Back sleeping is preferred, but I also go on my side and occasionally on my stomach. First, the weight was a bit more than desired. I weighed 24.5 ounces before I unpacked it, compared to roughly 18 for most others on the market. This does include a bag to assist with inflation, which can be left out to save 3.5 ounces. I liked the valve setup and was able to fully inflate both with the bag and by breath easy enough. Frankly I can can see how some might like the inflater, but I did not. It sounded like an elephant everytime I used it, and I felt like the minor value it brought was overbalanced by the weight - I'm leaving it at home. Second, the size is a hair over two inches deep, and with proper inflation feels comfortable enough to side sleep on. The width is 23 inches if you include seams so realistically is slightly less, but more than adequate. The length however is ridiculous. Mine measured 77 inches end to end - easily 5 inches more than needed. This also explains the added weight compared to others. Most tents only go 6 feet long, so I'm not sure how this will fit without bending. The hex configuration of the padding leads me to believe this can be a decent solution for cold weather camping Third, so long as it is properly filled the pad itself isnt that noisy, but when underinflated is too squeaky for my tastes. Fourth, there does not seem to be any tacky strips to help the sleeping bag cling to the pad, or prevent slipping off. I fully expect to be sliding all over on this thing, and wake up half off after tossing about overnight. Time will tell whether it holds air well overnight. Initial thoughts are that it is a decent value, though I'd still consider stepping up to a Klymit option for $55-ish. If this were marketed as a long option, with a regular 72" available with less weight I'd say this would be a better deal.

[Updated: 13th October 2021. I have since had the opportunity to spend nights on this mat, with a 1/4in yoga-mat underneath for insulation + traction, & am pleased to announce that it consistently sleeps me through the night, without pain in the morning. You can definitely feel how hard the ground is through it when sitting down on it, + getting into position, but once in a laying position your weight is supported evenly by the cells so that discomfort goes away & it feels good under you. Side-sleeping is a firm experience, but not painfully hard, & there's no sense of your bones being bruised by the ground. It's lasting well, too - no punctures, leaks or fraying, yet. I'm delighted to be able to confirm my original sentiments; this is a top-quality pick for outdoorsfolk seeking minimal weight for minimal outlay. /update] For what it is, this is a 10/10 item. It's feather-light, inflatable without reading any instructions (the only skill required is a vague awareness of what a pump-bag is when you see it) and quickly (I was at it for maybe two minutes total, and that includes unrolling the pad and shaking air into the bag), and far comfier than it has any real right to be. And it costs -peanuts-, compared to other similarly technical gear with better known names. I'm not a hard-core hiker - I'm personally a site camper*, in fact - but I recently fell down a quarantine-spurred internet hole where I spent 6+ hours a day for about 17 days total devouring everything that blogs, articles, forums, YouTube and Pinterest had to teach about ultralight backpacking, because I was bored and have ADHD and sometimes hyperfocus is a Hell of a drug. So, while I've never gone on an actual hike in my life (I use a wheelchair, which would make it rather awkward, to say the least), I do know what ideal item weights are, and what the expectations are of each item, for a good one. And this? Is a -great- pad for the price. I'm actually tempted to buy a second one, just in case this one somehow gets damaged someday and they're no longer in production, I like it that much. This is a lightweight hiking pad. It's all air, and all cells, at that. It's not going to give you the experience of a domestic airbed, or a cushy self-inflating foam mat. But it's a Hell of a lot comfier than I expected it to be. Realistically, you can sleep on just about anything out in the wild, when it's at dark and quiet and you're tired from the day, which is why my personal pre-field comfort test for new sleeping gear is to set it up within temptation's reach of my actual bed and then try to nap on it, in the middle of the afternoon. I must caveat this by mentioning that I am a US size 4 - 6, but I am also a shape that's all hips and shoulders; so, I am naturally sensitive to hard sleeping surfaces, as they give my widest parts nowhere to go - however, I must acknowledge that my conclusions may not be applicable to people who are significantly wider and heavier than myself. It's wider than most mats of its kind, but it's still not as wide as a single-size airbed, or anything like that. (Also, if you're a particularly -active- sleeper, I'd suggest slipping this one down the back of your sleeping bag, rather than just under it, or you -will- roll off it [or, if you're site camping, it'd be a great cot-topper].) So, how did I sleep? Quite deeply, for a couple of hours, until my husband came to find me because it was suppertime. It was perfectly supportive on my back - I actually let out a soft sigh of contentment, as I lay down - and though rolling over to my second preferred posture of sort of half on my side, half on my stomach, I won't deny that my hip did dip enough to be uncomfortable, simply shifting myself to be completely on my side removed that issue. It's definitely a better pad for back and front sleepers than it is for side ones, but it was much less -uncomfortable- on my side than I had expected it to be. I did get back to sleep, and later didn't wake up sore or anything like that. It was pleasant enough that not only did I get a decent nap on it of a couple hours, but that when later in the evening, I subjected it to my second usual test, of reading a book on it for an hour or so to see if it remains comfortable while in a static posture for an extended period of time, it came through with winning colours. Again, this is -not- a cushy foam mat, nor is it a mattress-thick airbed, nor is it even a 3 - 4inch deep, multi-hundred dollar Big Agnes or Sea To Summit prestige hiking mat; this is a 1.5inch thick, shallow cell hiking mat that cost less than US$40. It is not going to make you as comfortable as any of those will, nor will it keep you as warm as any of its insulated contemporaries (though the thermometer segment of my test did show that adding a simple foil-topped foam roll underneath, or even just a folded emergency blanket, extends its use easily from 2 seasons to 3), nor will it last you as long as any of its more expensive competitors. This is the reality, and it would be unreasonable to expect those things of it - but what it does do is punch well above its *own* actual weight. If you're new to hiking and don't want to invest too deeply until you're sure it's for you, or if you're simply strapped for cash, and you don't have any major pre-existing back problems to complicate your ground-sleeping needs (or if you do, but just need something cushy to put on your cot or in your hammock), then this is probably just about the best technical pad under US$90 that you can buy. I am extremely happy with my purchase, and I have already recommended it to a couple of friends who are looking at streamlining their camping kit. 10/10, ideal in its niche. *Why did I even -want- an ultralight sleeping pad if I'm a site camper, when weight and portability aren't especially an issue and I could easily carry in a thicker, plusher sleeping mat? Well, the fact is that I do exactly that, however I have a major spinal condition which means that I don't endure well on long car journeys - such as the ones generally involved in traveling out to location on camping trips - and the last time I had to weather one, we found ourselves stopping every other hour or so to dig my companion's x-leg cot out of the boot so that I could lie down for a bit. The cot was pretty hard by itself, and I found myself wishing that I had something softer and more supportive to top it with, to help my discomfort settle faster and better. It wasn't exactly practical to retrieve and inflate my Outwell Dreamboat 31inch-wide, 78inch-long and 6inch-thick self-inflating mat every time we stopped, only to have to roll the monster thing up again half an hour later when I was ready to get back into the car - to say nothing of the fact that it wouldn't have -fit- on the cot, anyway. A month or so later I fell down my backpacking clickhole, discovered ultralight hiking pads - which are narrower, shorter, more portable and quicker to inflate and deflate - and the rest is history. And with the cot 24inches wide and 75inches long, I chose this one because from the best-reviewed among the cheapest options, that -also- came in black (I'm a goth, so sue me), this was the one that would most perfectly fit atop it. Why did I care whether or not it's comfy enough to sleep on, if I won't actually -be- sleeping on it? Because if it is, then it's also comfy enough to cradle my body in gentle relief when I'm in a true pain crisis and waiting for my prescription analgesics to kick in before I can be moved. Which is a very -specific- set of factors, all told.

I think it’s important to note here that I am rating this based on the quality of the item at this price point, and not knock a star off just because it wasn’t better than what I was willing to pay for. I wanted something compact and that would give me a decent night sleep whilst on a Climbing trip. It performed admirably and I also used it when I stayed at a friend’s place in an empty apartment before furniture arrived. Was it the best sleep of my life? No, but if I had wanted that I would have needed to pay more. It was easy to use out of the box, the bag to air it up was easy to use and didn’t take long at all. It held its air for two nights without refilling it and that was nice. Even so, I wouldn’t have minded the task to refill it each evening before use. It really isn’t a big deal. It lasted through the night and that’s what I wanted. It was easy to deflate and out back into the bag without any issues. I’d buy it again if I needed a cheap camping pad that doesn’t take up half my pack or have to be attached to the outside and take up even more space.

Lo acabo de usar en una noche de camping, y el producto es muy bueno, primeramente, muy compacto para transportar, segundo, ya inflado, tiene un muy buen largo, tercero y mas importante, hace muy comoda la noche. Cabe perfecto en el largo de la casa de campaña, de hecho es bastante largo y lo de arriba lo enrolle un poco y lo use como almoada. Yo lo infle con la boca, realmente no es dificil, no requiere mucho esfuerzo. Ya inflado si se siente muy suavecito, y es muchisimo mejor que dormir directo al contorno del piso. Al momento de desinflarlo, solo hay que ir corriendo el aire hacia el lado de la valvula cuando lo enrollas, para que quede igual de compacto. Muy recomendable, ademas a mi me gusto mucho el color, hasta combina con mi casa de campaña

No agrego una foto porque es tal cual como se ve en la imagen. Yo mido 1.85 se podría decir que soy alto y esta colchoneta me quedó perfecta, incluso la orilla que sobraba la enrolle para utilizarla como almohada, el ancho esta bien para 1 persona. En cuanto a comodidad supero mis expectativas, no lo puedes comparar con una cama ortopédica pero para dormir en una acampada no puedo pedir más que esta cómoda superficie. En mi caso la utilize adentro del sleeping bag y la perdida de calor por el suelo fue 0% incluso tuve que abrir un poco mi sleeping para refrescarme. El método de inflado es muy fácil y si aprendes a guardarlo bien se hace súper compacto ,en total el tiempo promedio de inflado es de 6 minutos ya contando desde que lo sacas de la funda. Cuenta con 2 parches en el interior de la bolsa OJO CON ESO, si tu eres de los que corta las etiquetas de instrucciones de lavado en las camisas o pantalones, podrías pensar que se trata de eso PERO NO LO ES, SON PARCHES así que mejor déjalos ahí para cuando los necesites. Sin más lo recomiendo bastante si eres una persona que disfruta de dormir cómodamente en tus acampadas o incluso si planeas ir de visita a casa de un familiar y detestas dormir en el sillón porque mides 1.85 mts.

This air mattress is great and so compact when deflated. When filled, it supported my weight (I am over 6 feet) and even when I rolled over my body remained off the ground. Can highly recommend.

After reading some of the reviews I decided to test it properly before taking it with me camping...firstly is a lot easier to inflate with your mouth than with the bag, the bag is handy to top it up once is nearly fully inflated, and needs to be fully inflated for maximum comfort..but if properly inflated is actually super comfy, very easy to deflate and pack again, the actual inflating bag is more handy as a pillow, i used it as a clothing bad for socks, pants, and a jumper with doubled up perfectly as a pillow..the sides are quite generous I'm 6 feet tall and fit on it with spare room

It's surprisingly comfortable, and well engineered for the price. The bag it packs away into is also a dry bag with plenty of room for other bedding elements like your summer sleeping bag and/or pillow. You dont have a ton of extra space, so summer sleeping bag and/or inflatable pillow, but still a very nice touch. That dry bag is also the way you inflate the bed, if you connect the ports and fold the top of the dry bag, it's full of air that you can push into the bed. In my experience, it took about 5 or 6 inflations to do, any it didn't require a single breath from my lungs. I tested it the first night on the concrete floor of my basement, very comfortable on back/stomach, and honestly still relatively comfortable on your side. Your hips and shoulders definitely touch the ground, but the hexagonal "pods" around those pressure points help to spread out the support, so it's not that bad. Tested it a couple days later out in the woods by our property, and it was even more comfortable. Ground was mostly medium-packed dirt, with some moss on top. Side sleeping is definitely more comfortable in this setting. Seems pretty durable, and honestly pretty difficult to over-inflate, if you're worried about that. Packs down very small as well. Time will tell, but so far, love it.
