Happy Friday!
For those of you who camp in your 100…which Exped Megamat did you get (for 2 people)? 10 or 15? Thoughts? Opinions?

Thanks!
Lizzie

I now use the Exped MegaMat Max15 Duo sleeping pad on top of my Air Down Gear Up sleeping platform. I started with the MegaMat Duo 10 but I kept hitting bottom and the more Cush the better.

We have a Megamat Double 10cm in our camper trailer, and it's superb. Mrs w and I are under 80kgs each, which may explain neither of us having "bottoming out" issues.
Thanks! I think I would be fine- at 5’0”, I’m in your camp, but sounds like my husband might be happier on the 15…

Wow, throwback to the "before drawer faces" and "before LC anchor bar" days of ADGU. Thanks for sharing!

@Lizzie108 Our go to recommendation for a flat platform at ADGU is the Megamat Duo (4" thick one). If you're using a makeshift setup or a DIY setup that's not quite flat, I'd be more inclined to go to the thicker pad, even if you're not a heavy person. If the sleeping surface is nice and flat like the SS1 systems, you can get away with the thinner mats. If the surface is broken up (IE stuffing blankets or pillows to fill the gap between the seat backs and a static cargo platform/drawers) then the standard thickness mats might not quite do it.

We've had some customers go all out with memory or latex foam as well. That doesn't pack up quite as nicely, but gives you a big bump in luxury feel if you have space to burn.

Great info. Thanks for that! Love that SS1, btw. 😍
 
Found this thread looking for another ~while trying to remember the name Megamat for a friend.

Someone on here suggested the Lost Horizon mat as a budget option and I love mine so far.
