MegaMat 10 and MegaMat Auto

The original luxury sleep mat, the Megamat 10, and the wider Megamat Duo 10 get solid colors and use recycled materials. The DUO gets updated with two deflation valves.

The Megamat Auto, perfectly sized to fit into most SUVs and trucks for overloading and car camping, is now available in a deep green Moraine color and has been updated to include two inflate and two deflate valves for faster setup and takedown.

MegaMat 10 has 4 inches of soft foam at its core for support and warmth. Horizontal air channels in the foam help reduce weight and packed volume without sacrificing comfort. To enhance the cradling effect, the mat’s surface features a brushed, stretch tricot polyester that relieves pressure points (hips and shoulders) while evenly supporting the body across all surfaces, head to foot. Vertical 3-D sidewalls allow the top surface to extend all the way out to the edge of the mat without tapering, maximizing the usable sleeping surface – just like a bed at home!

They are updating the internals with a larger coring system for faster inflation and deflation and a smaller packing size.

This year, they are adding a handle to make it easier to move around; for durability, it utilizes a double-laminated construction.

Mega Pump

Mega Pump is a powerful rechargeable pump for inflation and deflation, making setting up and taking down your sleeping mat a breeze. One of our most common requests is a way to deflate and repack your EXPED camping mat more easily, and Mega Pump delivers!

The Mega Pump features a rechargeable battery with a convenient USB-C port. The included adapters, including a universal valve adapter, work perfectly with EXPED mats and many other inflatables.

I watched this easily flatten down a small pad without any effort! It is very useful when deflating the pads on precarious places like a picnic table, gravel, rooftop tents, etc.

Mega Pillow

Designed to match the thick, plush, edge-to-edge comfort of our famous MegaMat, the Mega Pillow is a sleep-inducing accessory for folks who like big pillows. It is constructed with near-vertical sidewalls, which allow the top surface to run right to the edges of the pillow without tapering, maximizing the head-supporting surface area.

The skin-friendly, velvety-soft tricot nylon material is padded with synthetic insulation to ensure a comfortable sleeping experience—just like in your own bed.

In addition, the Mega Pillow can be adjusted in height by releasing air, making it ideal for side, back, and stomach sleepers. This sleeping companion can also be attached to a mat with practical fabric eyelets on the sides. The inner air cushion is removable, so the pillowcase can be washed if necessary. The robust FlatValve ensures quick inflation and deflation.

MegaSleep 20/40

MegaSleep 20/40 is a roomy, rectangular, 3-season sleeping bag for car camping and backpacking. On one side, more layers of insulation, when placed over the top of the sleeper, provide a temperature rating of 20 °F for cooler nights. The other side, with a little less insulation, is just right for warm summer nights with a rating of 40 °F.

MegaSleep 20/40 is designed to fit the EXPED MegaMat for an at-home sleep experience anywhere, but due to its lightweight and compressible materials, it can also be carried in a backpack.

It quickly and easily unzips to become a plush blanket for unrestricted sleeping. MegaSleep 20/40 can also be zipped together with another MegaSleep 20/40 to create a roomy couples sleeping bag.

It comes in a Single and DUO version.

They are releasing new synthetic sleeping bags with either 20, 30, or 45-degree temperature ratings. The bags will feature draft collars, draft tubes, a 3D foot box, and internal pockets at the bottom for phones, gear, or booties.
