Sea To Summit

Comfort Light SI Sleeping Pad

Great so far

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this for summer/fall bike touring. Great combination of a compact lightweight self inflating pad with 5mm evazote as extra kush, insulation and puncture protection. Minimal breaths required to top up to medium firmness. Chose SI versus air mattresses because of concerns with baffles separating and being left with no cushion and insulation in the event of an air leak.

Comfy and quiet!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Doesn’t squeak when you roll over like other pads! Only takes 2-3 big breaths to finish inflating which is sweet. Comfy and reasonably small/light for backpacking!

Not what I was looking for

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The pad and condition are fine but I wanted a thicker pad. This one only inflated 1 inch and I was hoping for more. I'll try a different one.

Defective Air Mattress

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased backpacking inflatable mattress pad several years ago and has always leaked air slowly overnight. I was never able to find source of leak. Sea to Summit exchanged the pad for new after I described the issue and provided photos. New pad works great!

Sleep pad

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This sleep mat is very comfortable. It kept me from getting very cold during a 31° F. overnight, and I am really not much of a camper! I was grateful to have the sleep mat with me.

Awesome Company!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great warranty, Sea to Summit sent me a new sleeping pad after my original pad had a defect that occurred years after purchasing it. The sleeping pad is light and perfect for backpacking trips.

I am a huge fan

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a huge fan of S-to-S products. I own dozens of their bags, pads, liners, towels, etc. This sleep pad excels in two areas. First, it packs down pretty small for a SI mat. Second, it is comfortable once fully inflated. The downside is that the self-inflating function is not great. I leave the mat inflated while stored in hopes of not damaging the core. Unfortunately, it still does not inflate well on its own, even after being packed for just a short time. I do not believe this is a unique problem to this brand or model, more of an universal limitation. I highly recommend using a S-to-S bellows stuff sack to assist in filling up the mattress. S-to-S should consider making all their mattress stuff sacks the bellows version. I have two and they are awesome.

Good balance of size and performance

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Packs up small for a self inflating mattress. It's comfortable and keeps me warm so far. I like self inflating mattresses because it's a bit of insurance against leaks. You can at least have some cushion if it fails. It does seem slightly thinner than other mattresses I own of the same claimed thickness but I haven't actually measured it.

Good trade off between weight, functionality, comfort

On my third year using the pad, which was an upgrade for me primarily to avoid having to inflate an old REI sleeping mat, but turned out to be very helpful when I bought an ultralight backpack - it serves as the internal support system very well. It is comfortable enough, more so than the REI pad, and once I got the hang of deflating it for packing, is a pretty great piece of equipment. Also not very noisy, which is a plus.

The foam tore apart in the first use!

After I inflated it with my lungs, the foam inside started tearing apart, creating a "pillow" growing over time. And this was before I even tried to lay on it. Hopefully, I can get the money back.
