I just bought this mat, and when I inflate it just a little bit too much and lay onto it, it seems to deflate really slow. This does not happen if I inflate it a little less. Is this normal?

I did my research about the Exped Downmat and a troubling video came up on YouTube. It could be that your sleeping pad deflating might evolve into a problem. Consider it before you take the mat on a longer trip. A series of them may develop perforation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDC_DewtAOk In conclusion, make sure you buy it from backcountry.com because of their excellent customer service and exchange policy.
