The sleeping mat works great on damp ground thanks to its rubberized foil layer. თუმცა, it would be nice if it were a bit wider, because I sometimes slide off it while sleeping.
Savotta FDF Sleeping Pad Folding Mat
Foldable sleeping mat measuring 210 x 100 cm, developed for the Finnish Armed Forces in the 1980s. Its construction is based on a solid 12 mm thick foam core, which effectively insulates from cold ground. Additional side protective panels widen the usable area, increasing comfort during rest.
R-Value thermal insulation rating
The model features a R-Value 2 thermal insulation rating, determined in accordance with the ASTM F3340-18 standard. This parameter defines the degree of insulation from the ground - the higher the value, the more effective the reduction of heat loss.
Interpretation of the R-Value used in the outdoor industry:
- 1.0-2.0 - use in summer conditions (night temperatures above approx. 10 degrees Celsius),
- 2.1-3.5 - use in spring, summer, and autumn (approx. 0-10 degrees Celsius),
- 3.6-5.0 - cool conditions, around 0 degrees Celsius and sub-zero temperatures down to approx. -5 /-10 degrees Celsius,
- 5.1-7.0 - winter use, temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius,
- above 7.0 - winter conditions with increased insulation requirements.
Actual thermal comfort depends on the sleep system (sleeping bag, clothing), the type of ground, and the user's individual resistance to cold.
Durable 210D polyamide, polyurethane coating, rubberized bottom
Durable 210D polyamide with a polyurethane finish was used in production and is characterized by high abrasion resistance. The bottom section is made of 600D polyester, enhanced with a rubber coating that provides anti-slip properties and effectively protects against moisture. The central part of the mat is a 190 x 50 cm core made of soft foam with a thickness of 12 mm. On the sides there are additional fabric panels 25 cm wide, which increase the usable area. The product has an R-Value insulation rating of 2.
Can be rolled up, securing straps
Thanks to its roll-up construction, the mat takes up little space when packed, making it easy to transport. The set includes elastic straps to secure the rolled mat during carrying.

The Savotta FDF Sleeping Pad is a solid, military-grade mat used by the Finnish armed forces. Its main advantage is the rubber coating on the bottom, which provides excellent protection against moisture and mud, and keeps it from sliding in your sleeping bag even on uneven ground.
-
As many people have noticed, this is a solid product – the sleeping bag doesn't slip on the rubberized surface, the wings are very functional, and there's no need for an additional tent floor.

Extremely robust and functional. The mat offers good insulation and is obviously designed for durability. Ideal for outdoor trips where reliability is important.

This mat immediately caught my eye – I liked it a lot from the beginning. I finally bought it and I have to say, it's great! The construction is solid, well-designed, really worth its price, and exceptionally comfortable! I definitely recommend it – 10/10!

Very comfortable, I spent a few nights on it outdoors without major problems. It's lightweight and easy to carry. The side panels are functional, and when unfolded the surface is quite large.
