Sleeping Mat Foldable Type Sleeping Pad Orange 190 x 56cm | 340g

This bright orange Sleeping Mat Foldable Type delivers dependable insulation, rugged utility, and ultralight design – ideal for New Zealand tramping and camping. Whether used solo as a basic mattress or paired with an inflatable air mat for extra warmth and protection, this foam mat helps you sleep better outdoors. Its closed-cell construction resists moisture, dirt, and cold, ensuring a consistent barrier between you and the ground.

Perfect for minimalist packers and hikers, this mat also functions as a frame insert for our Ultralight Weight Frameless Backpack. When used inside the pack, it adds structure without weight, while outside the pack, it folds into a compact rectangle for easy carrying. The striking orange top helps you spot your gear in low light or dense bush, and the black bottom resists marks from rough terrain.

Thanks to its lightweight build and versatile nature, this mat is a smart choice for trampers, hut stays, family campers, or anyone seeking warmth without bulk. With dimensions that suit most adult sleepers and an easy-to-clean surface, it's ready for rugged terrain, forest floors, or tent interiors.
