October 29, 2024

Tacoma, WA – October 29, 2024 /OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ – Exped, maker of Swiss designed outdoor equipment, announces eco-friendly updates to its legendary MegaMat sleeping mat for 2025 along with the MegaSleep sleeping bag and the Mega Pillow camp pillow. The brand new MegaPump rounds out the collection. Exped USA is partnering with REI for early access of the updated Mega collection this month, with availability in select REI stores and online at REI.com before it is more widely distributed early next year.

“MegaMat is the original luxury sleep mat that has set the standard for sleep comfort and warmth in the outdoors since 2011. We won’t rest on that fact though, and will continue to evolve MegaMat to meet the needs of the changing market,” said Tracy Collins, VP of Sales and Marketing for EXPED USA. “The latest upgrades to MegaMat include the use of sustainable, recycled materials, welded grab handles for easy handling and two deflate valves on the MegaMat Duo for faster deflation. We’re proud to partner with REI for the early release of the upgraded Mega line.”

With a 4″ thick sleeping platform comprised of high-quality open-cell polyurethane foam, MegaMat provides ample thickness with 3D edge-to-edge construction to keep most campers from “bottoming out.” Exact firmness is customizable by adding more air with the included Top-Up Pump accessory or purging excess air via the one-way inflate FlatValve.

MEGAMAT 2025 updates include:

NEW: Surface material now made from 100% recycled polyester. Exped’s signature 4-way stretch tricot polyester material amplifies the cradling effect and provides a soft next-to-skin feel.

NEW: Convenient welded carrying handles: no more awkward mat grappling. Single Mats: one handle. Duo Mats: two handles.

NEW: Duo sleeping mat models now feature TWO deflate valves for even faster deflation. Intuitive & durable one-way FlatValves for both inflation and deflation aid in setting up and packing away your camping mat.
