Hey everyone, I found a sleeping mat on Facebook Marketplace for a really good deal and I’d like to know what brand it is so I can check reviews before buying. The seller isn’t sure about the brand, but it weighs about 1 pound. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
I got one as a gift last year, only inflated it twice (once to test it, and once to measure the size). I don’t need it and could send it your way if you cover shipping.

That’s super generous!
It’s a ‘Fun-Pac’ brand from Amazon. No personal experience with it, though.
Looks like a generic sleeping pad from Amazon. Lightweight but probably not much insulation despite what it claims. They use a cheaper construction method that can lead to cold spots. Probably okay for summer but not for cooler weather. I saw it for around $35 on Amazon.

These come with a built-in air pump made of memory foam you step on. Pretty nifty for $20-$30, fine for warmer months.

Thanks for the details! I’ll hold out for something better insulated as I get cold easily.

Check out the Exped Dura 8R. Pricey, but it’s super warm and comfortable!

The Acacia pad is amazing. Outperforms others I’ve tried.
Looks like the typical budget pad found on Amazon. Here’s one similar.
That’s Steve.

Or Mat Tress?
Good for kids, but not so much for adults.
I have a cheap Amazon one and it’s fine for warmer months, but I wouldn’t spend more than $5-10 on a used one.

I’ll pass on this one then, thanks for sharing!
I ordered one for $28 on Amazon, waiting for it to arrive.
Tried one that didn’t hold air well and was loud whenever I moved. Not recommended.
Used one similar for backpacking. It’s compact and held air all night.
Top-rated on Amazon, but I discovered their high rating is due to incentivized reviews.
Bought three; one was defective, but the others worked fine after patching. Mixed feelings overall.
