The Exped MegaMat 7.5/10 Sleeping Pad was designed to make car camping as comfortable as sleeping at home. Since it was intended for short hauls, Exped spared no weight or size to make this the most comfortable mattress you may have ever slept on. With a foam core that self inflates, and 4 inches between you and the ground, you can rest in easy comfort, sure that you will have no back or hip pain the next day. Finally, a basecamp mattress we can look forward to sleeping on.
