The R-value measures how well a mat insulates you from the ground, and the higher the R-value, the warmer the mat will be on cold ground. A lower-rated mat such as the Exped Ultra 1R suits warm summer nights, while the Flextail Zero Mattress R05 5.6R or Exped Ultra 7R are better for colder conditions.
Air mats pack the smallest for backpacking, self-inflating mats like the Exped SIM 3.8 balance comfort and ease of use, and foam mats are tough and can't puncture. For rugged bushcraft use, a foam mat like the Robens ZigZag Slumber Mat is a reliable choice, and for car camping, a thicker mat such as the Outwell Sleepin Single 10cm adds extra comfort.
Blowing up a mat by mouth puts moisture inside, so using a pump or pump sack is the quickest and kindest way to inflate your mat. Some mats come with one, such as the Flextail Gear Tiny Sleeping Pad R03 with pump, while Exped mats pair well with the Exped Schnozzel Pumpbag.
Sleeping bags are essential camping gear, whether you're camping in a tent, campervan or under the stars. A good sleeping bag will keep you warm and comfortable through the night, so you can wake up refreshed and ready to explore the great outdoors.
Types of sleeping bags include down sleeping bags: These sleeping bags are filled with duck or goose down, which is an extremely effective insulator, making them ideal for use in cold weather. Synthetic sleeping bags are filled with synthetic insulation, such as hollow fibre or microfibre. This type of sleeping bag is less expensive than a down sleeping bag and is also less vulnerable to moisture, making it a good choice for wet-weather camping. We also stock mats which are used to insulate you from the cold ground when sleeping outdoors, as well as bivvy bags which are waterproof sleeping bags that can be used in emergency situations when you need to shelter from the elements. Whether you're looking for a sleeping bag for an upcoming camping trip or are in need of some emergency shelter, Wood To Water has sleeping bags and bivvy bags to keep you warm and dry!
