The mat is compact and easy to fit in a backpack. You can sleep on your side on it. I weigh 106 kg, and it performed well at 0°C. In the attached photo you can also see the Helikon Matilda backpack, which I can recommend.
Volven Ultralight Self-inflating mat - Black
Single-person self-inflating mat made from 75D polyester, known for its high durability and resistance to abrasions and mechanical damage. The lightweight and resilient polyurethane foam along with excellent thermal insulation at R-Value 2.9 provides efficient protection against cold and uneven ground.
Thermal insulation R-Value coefficient
The model stands out with an insulation coefficient of R-Value 2.9, determined according to the ASTM F3340-18 standard. This parameter defines the degree of insulation from the ground—the higher the value, the better the heat loss limitation.
Interpretation of R-Value used in the outdoor industry:
- 1.0-2.0 - designed for summer conditions (night temperatures above approximately 10 deg. C),
- 2.1-3.5 - spring, summer, and fall use (around 0-10 deg. C),
- 3.6-5.0 - in cold conditions, around 0 deg. C and negative temperatures down to about -5 / -10 deg. C,
- 5.1-7.0 - winter use, temperatures below 0 deg. C,
- above 7.0 - winter conditions with increased insulation requirements.
Actual thermal comfort depends on the sleep system (sleeping bag, clothes), type of ground, and individual user's resistance to cold.
honeycomb polyester material, self-expanding foam
The mat, with a thickness of 3.8 cm, ensures high comfort and effective insulation from uneven and cold ground. The outer layer of honeycomb polyester material is characterized by good resistance to abrasions and damage. Inside, there is a self-expanding PU foam that automatically draws in air when the valve is unscrewed, giving the mat the appropriate resilience. The risk of air escaping spontaneously is minimized by a patented valve design.
set elements
Transport is facilitated by a compression strap with Velcro and a cover. The set also includes a repair kit for minor repairs.
When rolled up, the mat reaches compact dimensions of 29 x 14 cm, making it easy to fit into a backpack.

Although it doesn't inflate perfectly on its own, just a few breaths are enough to have it fully inflated. It's comfortable, insulates well, and is easy to fold and unfold. I can wholeheartedly recommend it.
-
Very light and comfortable, even when I sleep on my side after fully inflating it. The only downside is the need for lengthy inflation so I can lie comfortably (I weigh 90 kg and sleep on my side).
