What is the BEST BUDGET SLEEPING PAD | Budget backpacking sleeping pad review & comparison

День томуI found an even better pad!
Check out ROUND 2 of the BUDGET SLEEPING PAD SHOWDOWN: • BEST BUDGET SLEEPING P...
I am a cheap side sleeper but want a good night's sleep while backpacking, so I need the best budget sleeping pad there is. I've done a comparison and review of backpacking sleeping pads - 4 different sleeping pads from Amazon, all under $50! And I finally found the best budget sleeping pad (spoiler alert - it's the Sleepingo from Amazon). The best part is it's ultralight at only 14 ounces, packs up smaller than a water bottle, is SUPER comfortable, and costs less than $40! If you're a beginner backpacker, this is a great sleeping pad to start with because it won't break the bank and is the most comfortable sleeping pad I've slept on. If you've tried several sleeping pads while backpacking and haven't found one you like yet, try the Sleepingo from Amazon!

Hey dude, nice review. Proud owner of a SLEEPINGO pad. Before I found this pad I was using the 30$ Hitor Hike pad. My SLEEPINGO is 13oz, and I'm assuming it's 10D nylon. The Hitorhike is 17oz, MUCH more durable (assuming it's 20D), and has a sewn in pillow. Very comfy! Unfortunately it's not mummy shaped so it takes up an excessive amount of space in our 2p tent. If you're concerned about your dogs on your SLEEPINGO pad definitely bring tenacious tape along! Alternatively try the hitor hike pad for 30$. It will stand up to stuff the SLEEPINGO can't, and you can delete your pillow!
@DoseofDirt 2 роки тому
@@deschbono5242 thanks Desch! I have been loving the sleepingo! SUPER light like you said and really comfortable for the weight and price! So far it’s held up alright with the dogs. But I actually just tested 3 more and might have a new favorite: the Trekology UL80! It’s 4 inches thick, made of 40D and oh so comfortable! But it isn’t mummy shaped so takes up more room like you said. If you’re so inclined, check out the video and let me know what you think. Sleepingo will still definitely be my go-to for those ultralight trips! I will have to check out the tenacious tape! Thanks for the tip!!

Got a sleepngo a few years ago as a gift after putting it into an Amazon wishlist based simply on size and cost and I have been ecstatic with it. I have weeks of time on this mat both on a cot and on the ground in a tent and it’s hands down better then even the issued “expensive” mat I have.

@DoseofDirt Рік тому
Agreed 100% And even with both the foam pad and sleepingo, you're still a lot lighter than other budget pads. If I'm going SUPER light I take the Sleepingo only. But it definitely isn't the most comfortable pad I have anymore. Thanks for your comment!

I have a sleepingo, along with thermarest foldable. Thermarest I use as a seat sometimes, its great. Also if you dont have a frame pack you can circle it in the pack along the inner wall of the pack, and put stuff in the middle. Makes it kinda feel like a frame (if you have room). Sleepingo is great, thermarest is bulky but versatile, and doesnt lose air. So I bring both sometimes, since sleepingo is so packable and really comfortable.
@DoseofDirt 2 роки тому
Thanks, Simon! I haven't used a pack without a frame yet, but I can see how the thermarest would add some structure to the pack. You actually read my mind with the rest of your comment. I'm heading into the mountains later this week and will be taking BOTH my Sleepingo and Thermarest because the temps will get down to freezing and I'd like the increased r value (and comfort!) of both. Both are so light and the Sleepingo so packable, it's easy to take both when I need/want! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!

Sleepingo pad everyone says is the best budget pad! Would like to see you review the trekology UL80 pad. They sell a package deal on amazon where you get the pad and the pump sack for $50. I personally hate having to blow up a pad with my mouth. I prefer pads with atleast a pump sack. I even made a smartwater bottle pump sack for my thermarest prolite 4 and it works like a charm! Highly recommend the DIY video if you can find it. I also prefer pads atleast 25" inches wide. I hate when my arms fall off the sides with regular sized pads. Good stuff man! Hike on!

@DoseofDirt 2 роки тому
DUDE! I picked up the Trekology on Prime day and slept on it earlier this week for the first time. That thing is SO comfortable! Do you have one already or were you just thinking of picking one up? Honestly, for the price, I don't think you can get more comfortable (4 INCHES THICK!). Sleepingo will still be my go-to for ultra light, but if weight isn't an issue than the Trekology is the way to go (I think it's only about 12 oz heavier?). The version without the pump sack was on sale on prime day for $30, so I couldn't pass that up. But I can see why you'd want a pump sack for this one. I got light headed blowing up this massive pad... 😂😂😂 I'll be doing a follow-up video featuring this pad, but wanted to let you know since that video might not be out for a few weeks.

If you want a closed cell foam pad try the Ridgerest .The ridgerest is thicker than the Z rest pad and you can get in a wide version. The Z rest foam is only about a 1/4 inch thick. It’s the egg crate shape that makes it appear thicker. The more you use the Ridgerest the more pliable it becomes and easier to roll up.
@DoseofDirt 2 роки тому
Thanks, Steve! Ya, the thermarest is the only close cell foam pad I have used. I would never be comfortable on it by itself! 🤣 Tried that once and will never do it again.

For shelters, I've been using a tent by Bessport: amzn.to/3ao1cId I have a 2 person and a 3 person (link above to the 2 man). I haven't gotten a 1 person since I usually take my two huskies with me as well. So far it's been a good tent, but I'll admit it isn't the lightest! Straight out of the box it weighs 5 lbs, but I think you can save about a pound by ditching the included stakes for some titanium (been meaning to do this, but been spending money elsewhere this year). Other than a tear in the mesh from one of my dogs on our first trip, it's held up beautifully! But I am on the hunt for something lighter that is still in the budget category. Not sure if it's possible, but hopefully I can find something! Thank so much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Truly appreciated!

Should check out the one from wilderness innovations. Instead of closed cell foam. But open cell foam 3” thick. But filled up under compression straps to keep it packed down. Not the full sized one but the torso length 20x48 or 24x48 so your head to pretty much around your knees. Right around the $100 mark. So not fully budget pad. But at 3” thick. Not many places you couldn’t find comfort with that

There are other thin foam pads out there too, but they cost quite a bit more than this foam.

You forgot to mention that the Sleepingo pad is not insulated at all. My wife owns this very pad and will tell everybody that below 10°C it will not be warm enough. As of today the Problem with light inflatable pads is that you can only get two of these three characteristics together: Cheap, Comfortable, Insulated. Maybe this will change in the future, but today I don't know a single pad under 100€ that is light, comfortable and insulated. That being said, you can put a 200g closed cell pad on top of the inflatable pad to increase insulation.

@DoseofDirt 2 роки тому
Hey Robert! I haven’t had that problem. Could potentially be the valve. I do feel like I can usually fed another breath or two into the sleeping pad if I blow it up and then try again in 30 minutes, but then it seems to hold all night with me sleeping on it. It could potentially be the valve! I’ll also tell you I’ve been trying some more pads that are a little heavier and trekology UL80 is another excellent choice! It’s 4 inches thick and super comfortable. But it does way almost twice as much as the sleepingo. So if you’re going for ultralight I would stick with the sleepingo!

I also looked on amazon.uk and see they actually have my new favorite pad, the Trekology UL80 for 39 GBP. It's heaver than the Sleepingo (26oz) but SUPER comfortable since it's 4 inches thick, as well as decently wide and long. It's my go-to pad unless the goal is to be ultra ULTRA light. And then I noticed Trekology has one called the UL50 on Amazon.uk. It seems similar to the Sleepingo (only weighs 16oz, similar stich pattern and size). So that might be a good option. Funny enough, it doesn't look like I can gt that one in the US! Why don't these companies just make the same products available in different countries?
