Sleeping Mats & Camping Pads for Camping and Trekking

A good sleeping mat is the foundation for restful sleep outdoors. It insulates against cold from the ground, cushions uneven terrain and provides the comfort you need after a long day in nature. At Swiss-Sale.ch you will find sleeping mats for every purpose – from ultralight air mats for long-distance hikers to comfortable self-inflating pads for family camping.

Our range includes mats from Grand Canyon, Nordisk, Snugpak and BCB International. Whether self-inflating, inflatable or foam – each type has its strengths. The key factors for choosing are your intended use, desired insulation (R-value) and acceptable pack weight.

Buying Guide – Sleeping Mats

Self-Inflating Mats

Grand Canyon Hattan (3.8 cm) and Hancock (5.0–7.5 cm) as well as Nordisk Vanna (2.5–3.8 cm) and Alden (5.0 cm) are self-inflating mats with open-cell foam. They combine insulation and comfort: open the valve, wait and top up with a few breaths if needed. Ideal for camping and trekking when pack weight is not the highest priority.

Inflatable Air Mats

The Snugpak Air Mat and the Nordisk Vega are inflatable mats without a foam core. They are extremely light and compact yet still provide good sleeping comfort through their air chambers. Perfect for long-distance hikers and ultralight trekkers who count every gram.

Foam & Folding Mats

The BCB Sleep-Lite is a foldable mat that is instantly ready to use – no inflation required. The BCB insulating mat reflects body heat and is suitable as a base layer or emergency insulation. The Snugpak Antarctic Mat and Travelite offer robust foam comfort for military use.

Insulation Values (R-Value)

The R-value indicates how well a mat insulates against ground cold. Mats with R-value 1–2 are suitable for summer, R-value 3–4 for spring/autumn and from R-value 5 upwards for winter. The Nordisk Alden 10.0 XL with its 10 cm thickness offers the highest comfort and insulation for the coldest nights.

Areas of Use

Sleeping mats are essential for every overnight stay outdoors – whether family camping, trekking tours, bivouacking or military deployment. Self-inflating mats offer the best compromise between comfort and pack weight, air mats are ideal for weight-optimised tours and foam mats score with reliability and instant readiness.

Tip: Pair your sleeping mat with a suitable sleeping bag for optimal insulation. The mat’s R-value should match your sleeping bag’s comfort temperature – when in doubt, choose slightly warmer.

Frequently Asked Questions – Sleeping Mats

What does the R-value mean for sleeping mats?

The R-value measures the thermal resistance of a sleeping mat. The higher the value, the better the mat insulates against ground cold. For summer tours an R-value of 1–2 is sufficient, for spring/autumn 3–4 and for winter use 5 or above.

Self-inflating or inflatable – which is better?

Self-inflating mats offer instant comfort and good insulation thanks to their integrated foam core. Inflatable air mats are lighter and more compact but require manual inflation and insulate less well against cold without an additional foam layer.

Which sleeping mat is suitable for children?

The Grand Canyon Hattan 3.8 Kids is specifically designed for children – shorter, lighter and available in child-friendly colours. It provides the same sleeping comfort as the adult version.

Can I stack two sleeping mats for more insulation?

Yes. Two mats on top of each other add their R-values. A thin foam mat under an air mat significantly improves ground insulation – especially useful in winter.

How do I care for a self-inflating mat?

Always store self-inflating mats unrolled with the valve open so the foam retains its shape. Dry the mat completely before packing and avoid placing sharp objects on the sleeping surface.
