FAQs
What is R-value?
R-value is a measure of thermal resistance. It indicates the efficiency of insulation by measuring its resistance to heat transfer. The higher the number, the slower the rate of heat transfer through an insulation.
In EXPED sleeping mats, higher R-values help sleepers retain the heat their bodies generate and the result is the pleasant and sometimes elusive condition called warmth!
Can I use an electric pump to inflate my mat or pillow?
You can use the EXPED Widget electric pump to inflate your mat. The Widget is relatively low power and can be used for all EXPED mats and pillows. We do not recommend the use of any electric pumps other than the Widget because overinflating your mat or pillow can cause irreparable damage.
My backpacking mat got a puncture. What products can I use to repair it?
We include a temporary repair kit with an adhesive patch for quick fixes while out on a trip. Simply follow the instructions in the repair kit that came with your mat.
For more permanent repairs we recommend the EXPED Mat Field Repair Kit. You can also employ the use of some helpful repair tools from our friends over at GEAR AID such as Tenacious Tape and Seam Grip. We've included some helpful repair videos below on how to use all of these items.
Do not use rubber cement, duct tape, or plumber’s tape to try to repair punctures, tears, or valves.
For more extensive repairs, visit our Warranty & Repairs page for information on how to submit a repair request.
REPAIR VIDEOS:
How do I clean my mat?
The first step is to make sure all valves are fully closed. We recommend cleaning your mat with warm water and a mild soap. Do not use bleach to clean your mat. If needed, you can use a rag or soft sponge to carefully scrub the mat.
After using soap, rinse it well. The mat should air dry after cleaning. Do not put your mat in a washing machine or dryer.
How should I store my mat?
Store your mat in a cool, dry place, unrolled with the valves open and out of reach of pets with claws.

Excellent product
I tremendously appreciate that Exped waited a couple months to solicit this review, so the review is from experience, not first impression! This is a great sleeping pad. I've used it for a week-long glacial ski traverse, and a 10 day (unusually warm) pack raft in the arctic, as well a few simple overnights. I have had no problems with it, and it's held up well. The 5R is appropriately thick and warm. I love that I get a fairly light pad AND plenty of cushion for a side sleeper. I have not been in deep winter cold, but this has felt perfectly warm, even when sleeping on a thousand feet of ice (plus, the 7R would be the version for deep winter cold). I purchased the wide mummy. I'm not a wide person, but that gives me a little more space where it's useful, without extra weight (compared to the rectangle version). I'm happy with that choice. I am 5'8" and bought the medium length. It fits me fine, but if anything I'd go longer, so if you're on the fence, size longer. The inflation bag works well and is quick and easy. I used to have a different-style Exped pad with a pump that I gave CPR to each night, and while I thought that was slick, this is much easier. On wet trips I've used the pump bag as a waterproof stuff sack liner to waterproof my sleeping bag when it's packed. I'm careful not to put much stress on it, and that's worked well so far.

Great for backpacking
This replaced a foam pad and inflatable combo I had been using for backpacking. The pad was easily inflated with the included schnozzel. It was also easily deflated and very packable. I used it in a shelter and in my tent in 20° weather and was very comfortable. I will update this review if anything changes with more usage.
