Comfortable and warm

I love this combination of air and foam cushion. My back is sensitive when sleeping in a tent, and I usually wake up very early with my back hurting so bad I can’t sleep or even stay laying down. This pad lets me sleep longer. In the past I’ve found inflatable pads to be too cold, and foam pads to be quite heavy and bulky. The combination of both in one pad really does give you the best of both worlds. I probably wouldn’t take this backpacking, as I’m more of an ultra light backpacker. Although if I was only hiking a short distance and wanted to prioritize comfort over mileage I would consider taking the REG size. I’ve got both the XL and Reg sizes. The XL is a little roomier and more comfortable, but it’s also significantly bigger when rolled up. My only complaint about this pad is the nozzle. It’s a little awkward to use. I’ve had it accidentally close on my when trying to deflate it, and it is sometimes a little hard to open. Plus, the protective cap on mine has been quite difficult to put on. It’s not a major issue, but it’s an area I think could use some improvement.

Field tested

Field tested during my Annual Training (wish I had it during Active Duty), sleeping pad is worth it, slept really comfortable in the heat and cold. Slept on rocks/sand felt like I was sleeping on a mattress. Adjust air to your liking, I’m a side sleeper and slept very comfortable. Never woke up soar. Recommend to buy, had an REI one does not compare to this sleeping pad and you are getting a better deal here.( Rei field tested as well and returned after getting back home ). You will not be disappointed, I fit comfortable at 250lbs, 6 ft 1in. And will fit inside the Army issued litefighter tent

My “go to” sleeping pad!

I own two of these Klymaloft sleeping pads and I cannot stress how great they are! The Klymaloft is a great all around medium duty pad. The pad is not going to be as lightweight or as small as a ultralight backpacking pad but with the extra weight comes a ton of added comfort. I am 6,5’ 185lbs + a side sleeper (and a light sleeper) and I have never experienced a more comfortable sleeping pad + better sleep while camping. The integrated foam is super comfortable and is wrapped in a soft material that stays warm doesn’t crinkle when you move around like a lot of other sleeping pads. The bottom of the pad is made of a tough 75D polyester that holds up when sleeping on rougher surfaces. The two way valve is easy to use for both quick inflation and deflation. The pad easily packs down into its stuff sack after quadrupling in size. I am not exaggerating when I say Klymaloft pad is as comfortable if not more comfortable than my at home mattress.

Solid option and fairly versatile

This mat is definitely more comfortable than many of your “lighter” weight ones, but I still feel like the weight is not too bad for the added comfort. I did a two day three night 22 mile hike and can pack light in other weighs to justify carrying a heavier pad. I didn’t have any problems rolling this back up to a compact size like others mentioned having. Others reviews on Amazon I read also talked about the valve giving them troubles, but it wasn’t an issue for me. Inflates well and holds air just fine. I was also looking at the sea to summit and those definitely seem a little more comfy, but this beats their weight and price so I gave it a shot and am happy with my decision.

Great cot camping

I haven’t had this for a long time, but these are my takeaways this far. Super comfortable on a cot. I slept significantly better with this versus a standard pad. This is kinda a mid point between a cheapie and something ultra high end like a Exped MegaMat. I have only used it in warm weather so far so I can’t speak to the R-Value. It is low like a 2 something. However, I generally bring a tyvek like sheet to put over the cot as well as a liner so I imagine with my bag this will still be toasty in 20 degree weather but time will tell on that one. It is bulky but not as much as you would think it’d be. I have enjoyed sleeping on it so far and I am looking forward to testing it late fall during hunting season.

High comfort

I've waited a bit to do this review so that I could accurately assess the pad. I've taken it backpacking, car camping, canoe camping, and just to sleep on while traveling. I've probably spent close to a month of nights sleeping on this pad now. It isn't as light as an ultralight pad, but I prefer a little extra weight for the added comfort. It packs down into a small enough package to easily fit in my backpack, even when I'm bringing along my young son and most of his gear. For car camping or canoe camping, this should be your go-to pad. It inflates and deflates easily. I've had no issues with slow deflation overnight, even when we stayed in one spot for several nights in a row. I sleep like a baby on this pad, and you will too!

Klymaloft: turn your tent into a 5 star hotel

I needed a new sleeping pad as my last one popped. I thought I would give the new klymaloft a try....Let me tell you. This sleeping pad is like having a memory foam mattress in the middle of the woods. It is so comfortable. I am a side sleeper and my hips nor shoulders ever touched the ground. It packs down to the size of a half gallon of milk (which is perfect for us but probably not great for an ultralight camper/backpacker). The inflate/deflate is amazing, quick and easy. I could not recommend this product enough.

Game Changer

I am a side sleeper and have tried at least a dozen different pads. I could never get a good night’s sleep unless I was willing to haul a pad around that took up my entire backpack and weighed around 10 pounds. The Klymit Klymaloft Sleeping Pad is my new go to pad when sleeping away from the car. The Klymaloft Sleeping Pad is lightweight, super comfortable, and quiet. This is a great warm weather sleeping pad but keep in mind that the pad is not heavily insulated so probably only suitable for 3 season use.

Great, comfy pad!

I am a side sleeper, and a light sleeper, and I notice *everything* when I try to sleep. I had previously been using an air mattress which was too large and would get too cold with night air and needed a reasonable alternative. This is a great compromise between a slim sleeping pad while maintaining comfort! I love the extra layer of cushion on the top 2/3. My only qualms: the valve cap is extremely difficult to close. Even though it's a one-way valve, it's not enough to keep the air from seeping out (as I learned the first night, when I gave up on using the cap because it was difficult to close). However, I figured it out the second night and was fine from there! Additionally, it does take a little bit of breaths to inflate. I didn't count, but it was definitely more than 20. Deflating is a bit slow. It packs down pretty small. I use this for car camping adventures - if I were backpacking, I may want something that packed smaller. After using it, I also wish it was a few inches wider - because I don't care if it adds a little bulk/weight. However, it's just personal preference, I didn't find myself rolling off on the ground or anything - it's a good pad!

Initial thoughts

I only recently received this, and haven't had it out in the field yet. I have inflated it and taken several naps, though, and must agree it is the most comfortable pad of its type that I have tried. It is about the same size or a little smaller than my old Thermarest Basecamp, but over twice as thick. It is soft, doesn't feel bouncy like some air pads, and is quite quiet. My only reservation is that the soft foam topper seems to be open cell foam held on by relatively thin/stretchy material. I imagine it will be harder to keep clean, won't dry quickly if it gets wet, and might not be as long-lasting as more typical pads (though all this is just speculation - and hopefully I am wrong). In any case, I'm really happy about the comfort, and that seems to be this pad's mission, so 5 stars for now!

Side sleeper heaven

I do a lot of car camping. I got this sleeping pad to see if I could be comfortable on something smaller then the over sized cot and sleeping pad solution I have used for years. In the past I have experimented with solutions and been less then comfortable. I am very happy to say that the Klymaloft is the solution I have been looking for. I sleep on my side a lot and this pad is perfect for that extra pressure on my hips and shoulders. I am so pleased that I slept through each night of camping without waking up from being uncomfortable. This is an awesome sleeping pad for my car camping needs.

Narrow?

My wife used this on the most recent camping trip. She is 5 foot 7” and really like the pad except for one thing. I got the Standard size pad and she felt like it was narrow, so I can’t imagine what I would think as a 200 pound male. So now I’m waiting for the extra-large to come back in stock. Otherwise the pad was a solid four stars. The valve, as others have mentioned, leaks slightly even in the inflate position. However, this was easily remedied by snapping the outer cap closed. Inflated it once for three nights of camping and it stayed sufficiently full. I’m looking forward to getting the larger one because I think overall it’s a very comfortable pad.

Gamechanger

When this pad arrived, I was so excited I slept on it that night on my bedroom floor. Wow, what a gamechanger! Here are my impressions: -Size - rolled up, it's WAY smaller than I was expecting. I was expecting to only use this on trips where I have lots of room to pack, but it rolls into such a compact size I would totally take it backpacking. -The one-way flip valve for inflation/deflation is rad. You can blow it up without having to fight the air sucking back out - and vice versa. -Materials are sturdy and seem like they will last a long time. -Design is elegant and colors are aesthetically pleasing. Obviously this is a practical product, but when you're investing money into it it's nice for it to look good too! -This pad is quiet. Thanks to the foam topper, you can roll over and change positions without the obnoxious swish-squeek we are all familiar with. -Last but not least: SO COMFORTABLE. The base pad inflates well and provides a good layer of support you won't feel every rock through (again, surprising considering the size)...But then the foam layer on top just kicks it up 10 levels and BOOM your camping trip has just become a glamping trip. I'm a back and side sleeper and was comfortable either way. Do it. Invest. You won't regret it.

comfy

I haven't camped with this pad yet, but so far I really like the quietness. I had used a Big Agnes Deluxe Q-core, which was a nice pad, but was very noisy. Being able to move around during the night without waking yourself up with the crinkling of your sleeping pad is a huge plus. Not the highest R-value, but will be plenty for late-spring through early-fall trips. I would give up some r-value to gain quietness and comfort. The valve seems a little finicky, but once you get used to it there shouldn't be an issue.

Great Pad. Use both indoors handout

The is great comfortable pad. I use camping as well as a additional bed for guests when then come over. My son loves it so much he has claimed it as his for camping trips. It has been used for more than 40 nights and still going strong. I gave it four stars due to the air valve. I am not a fan of the valve. Improve the valve and this becomes a 5 star

Bear tested, bear approved

Took this on a 26 day fly out guiding season. Camp was ravaged by bears multiple times and I was blown away to see this thing never popped. Had a juvenile black bear walk on the inflated mattress and it never leaked. It's on the heavy end but the gained comfort was worth it if not packing it in.

Most comfort money can buy.

While the Klymaloft Sleeping Pad is not the lightest pad.. what it lacks in weight savings, it more than makes up for in comfort. The upper portion of the pad comes with a nice soft layer of fabric and cushioning that makes even the roughest grounds like sleeping on air. It was such a great product that I ordered another for my wife after just one night in the field. I knew that the few oz it costs over the ultralight substitutes are worth it for a night full of restful, uninterrupted sleep.

Surprisingly good!

This sleeping pad is very comfortable, especially compared to a minimalist thermarest. I wasn't surprised by this, but I was surprised by how small it packs up! You could definitely take this on a BC trip if you don't mind a bit of extra weight. I've been using it car camping, and it takes around 20 big breaths to blow up and stays inflated all night long provided you get the cap on the valve all the way (I failed at this the first night...lesson learned). Highly recommend!

Best nights sleep when car camping

Obviously, I would never take this backpacking because it takes up a decent amount of space, but with the mixture of foam and the ability to deflate it and throw it in the car, it's perfect for pulling up to your campsite and knowing that you'll be extra comfortable. Because I primarily use this for car camping I would also consider getting the two-person one even if you don't have a second person to take camping with you, the extra space to stretch out would be worth it!

Packable and comfortable

Bought this pad to travel in hotels with the family. We have two older teenagers and seems they don’t like to sleep in the same bed. Easy to carry in a packed bag on the airline. East to inflate and very comfortable to sleep on. I cannot recommend this higher. Would be great for camping, even car camping.

Pure luxury

This is the most comfortable sleeping pad I’ve ever used. It’s not as lightweight and compact as some pads, so I’m more likely to use it car camping. But it’s so comfy I‘ve packed it in a couple times on backpacking trips. Whenever someone says they haven’t found a comfortable sleeping pad, I blow this one up and make them try it! The combo of an inflatable pad and foam topper makes this feel luxurious.

Exceeds Expectations!

I have been using the Klymaloft Sleeping Pad primarily for car camping (and some ground as well) on fly fishing trips for the past year. The performance features including comfort, ease of use, packability, and inflation have far exceeded any other sleeping pad I have used. I won't be going back to gambling on any other brands that have let me down in the past. Thanks, Klymit - keep 'em coming!

The air mat is very comfortable and durable. It is lightweight and packs away fairly easily. The inflate deflate valve works great. If you fully inflate the mattress it is a little stiff, and if you deflate it just a little too much you will feel the ground. I have found that it works best in conjunction with a lightweight, hiking compatible cot.

life changer

going from years of being stubborn and unwilling to add weight to my ruck for a pus-pad to finally using this, proved i was an idiot. The last field exercise was so much more enjoyable not waking up and taking 30 mins to losen my back up. and this pad was quiet and comfortable and was easy enough to inflate without a devise, just took but a minute or two.

Comfy sleeping

Bought two and my wife and have used them on top of a cot many times for a good nights rest. Needs an air pump. Valve works great. Easy to pack. Have not slept on the ground, but the thickness and firmness makes me think it would be fine. Too big for backpacking (and pump required). Easy to assemble for anyone.
