Being cold at night can be uncomfortable at best and dangerous in certain conditions, without suitable insulation underneath you the ground literally sucks the heat out of you! If you're planning on camping during your gap year or are taking part in multi-day treks, where you will be camping over night, make sure you have a sleep mat with you. Self-inflating sleeping mats are the most popular option, providing more padding and better insulation compared to traditional camping mats, but we do have the cheaper foam mats available too. Our self-inflating mats are available in both shorter and full lengths, so you can opt for the shorter versions if you need to minimise pack size.
