Camping or Trekking Mat – What’s the Difference?
Camping mats provide full comfort and are similar to your mattress at home. They are self-inflating and use foam panels that fill with air. Most are wide enough to stretch out fully, allowing you complete freedom of movement while you sleep. However, they tend to be bulky and relatively heavy, making them ideal for camping near your car.
Trekking mats are lightweight, compact, and easy to pack in a hiking backpack. They can be either inflatable or self-inflating, with inflatable mats usually offering ultralight weight. While not as comfortable as camping mats, depending on the air chamber design, they can still provide decent comfort. Some models are suitable for summer use, while others are insulated for colder weather.
How to Choose the Right Mat for the Season?
All mats have an R-value, ranging from 1 to 5, which indicates their thermal insulation properties. This value measures how well the mat prevents heat transfer from your body to the ground. Mats with an R-value of 1-3.5 are suitable for warmer months, while those with an R-value of 4+ offer excellent heat retention for autumn and winter use.
At CampingRocks, we offer a wide selection of single mats, and if you're unsure which one is right for you, feel free to consult with our experts in-store in Sofia, over the phone, or via messenger.
