Thankyou for watching I hope this video helps you I can fully recommend this unigear camfy p3
I have the P3, will be trying it for first night tomorrow at a local campsite (I dont have a garden). In order to test a load of new gear including a Phoxx II and a DD 4x4 tarp for some trips this year. Starting Dartmoor first week July then Scottish highlands in September with anything else I can fit in between.
1:25 If you breathe into the little squeezy bag then you'll get more condensation in the pad when it's cold, that's why a lot of people shake the bag around.
Cheers Dan, ill be getting one for me and the missus, I hope your an amazon affiliate, you deserve something for your content. You defo give some of the most honest and down to earth reviews on youtube. Your definitely the most relatable camper on youtube to me.
Had this mat about 8 months now. Great piece of kit 👌
Maybe I need one of these for on my bed 💕
Love the belly support bit 😂 your such a relatable bloke and that’s what makes your channel so enjoyable 💕💕
Was just trying to work out what to use when we go camping on Thursday. Great timing. 👍 thanks
always love your content, please keep up the great work its helping me alot in picking my gear for next year.
Dan… again another honest review. I’m now in the process of ordering one, due to hip / back issues I toss and turn a lot, even ordered a Nature hike envelope style sleeping bag to allow me to into more comfortable position. Looking forward to trying it out 👍🏻🥾🏴🥃🏴
Nice Matt there Dan seems perfect.All the very best pal 👍🏻🏴👍🏻🏴👍🏻🏴
Thanks for this, been looking for a mat like this for ages
I just received this air mat today. I haven’t tried it yet but I like what I see in your video. The raised middle looks very comfortable.
Thanks for the great review Dan, already have it added to my Amazon list on your recommendation.
I bought mine last year after seeing your previous camping video where you had one. That mat is a life changer. My only issue with it is, my sleeping bag is really slippery so I have to camp on even ground or I'll be sliding around :D
Great video Dan - you explained the mat really well too. I have the blue one and absolutely love it. I don't feel any need at all to spend loads of money on any high-end mat. This is high-end as far as I am concerned but for a fraction of the price. I love the way it is shaped. It really does support the bits that need it. I sleep solid on mine - so comfortable. I was so lucky and am so grateful that this was the first mat I bought. No money wasted. Just one thing on blowing it up. I always use the bag and flap it about to fill it with air and then fill the mat by squeezing the air into it. It is said that if you blow into mats/pillows it will make the inside damp due to the condensation from your breath and this will cause bacteria to build up inside and for the mat to deteriorate over time. I am not sure if you have heard that. It never takes long with the bag to be honest once you have the knack. Keep 'em coming. Love your videos :-) Thanks again.
Also the smell when you deflate it will be like someone with bad breath breathing out for a minute or so solid…ewwww 😔🤢🤮
My mat arrived today. I usually use the trekology UL80. The unigear is super comfy, nice and wide and as you say, great for side sleepers. Looking forward to getting out with it.
Just got one of those delivered today, purely on your recommendation, out tomorrow for three nights at one of your regular haunts, hoping it’s as comfy as you described. Loving the vids.bty
Thank you Dan, added to my Amazon basket! Can you do a video on budget down sleeping bags?
I bought mine last summer after having 2 ul80s that failed on me, I've probably used it for 60 days over that time and hasn't let me down once (excuse the pun 😁) thick, comfy and durable, and is wider than most mats so you can actually sleep with your arms by your sides if you're a back sleeper. The only cons are it isn't exactly lightweight at just under a kilo and it is a little bit time consuming deflating it and packing it away. But other than that it is a stella pad and still probably the best budget camping gear I've bought so far.
I use this mat . Really comfy . Good video Dan. Thanks
Another good honest review. Thanks and stay safe.
I'm just on the look out for a new Mat too. Perfect timing. Cheers mate
This is the Matt I use 👌it's never let me down, by far the best Matt in the price bracket, I also use it in hammock and just let some air out so it conforms to the hammock 😜
Thanks for a very useful review, Dan. I always trust and respect your honest experience and I'll be getting one of these. Ta
I bought this thanks to you. I love it
Thanks for the review after watching I've ordered it, looks a good mat I know you give honest reviews.
Thanks Dan, i really need a side sleeper mat so might go for this one.
I'm getting on in years and find this mat really comfy.
Over the moon you re a right side sleeper and I always use my mod mat.
Grand review. Cheer’s.
I bought that mat based on your previous video a while ago, and it is great! My only suggestion for improvement is wish air bag was bigger but I bought that pump anyway.
Cool Video 👍
Thank U for the Info and the Links 👍
Ordered it
Great review. I'm going to try this pad out. Thanks!
Thanks for the great review, side sleeper here as well
Great video.. Just ordered the regular wide one in blue for 38 quid....and whilst I was there the 4x3m green tarp which is a bargain at under 30 quid,cheers.
Comprehensive review Dan..thank you.
Great gear review would love to see you do a video with day tripper
Sea to Summit Ether Light
best for side sleepers . I have the winter version as well brilliant sleeping mats 3.2 r rating on the 3 season grey . And 6.2 on the winter version in black
My Unigear mat (older model) developed a leak. I only used it about 3 times so I was proper annoyed as it was the best sleeping mat I've had. Now I've got to wrestle with it in the bath to find the leak.
Hey Dan most of us at this age have that little podgy belly syndrome ... lol. Great air mat for sure and value for money which is rare these days. Thanks for puting it out there mate. Bushyboy Oz.
Cracking review. Gonna give the OEX Flux 5 a whirl, and if it's crap then this Unigear mat looks the bomb for a cheap comfy option
Looks a quality mat mate 👏
Nice review and sold me. I just cant see spending $300 for a sleep pad and this looks and sounds like it will be one to try. Just found it on their site and ordered the large for $56.95. Thank you for a great product recomendation. Cant wait to try it out as I am a side sleeper and always have issues with every pad. Subbed... 😉
Im a side sleeper too,this mat is not thick enough for me,i started out on a trekology UL80,but found,even though really comfy,it wasnt wide enough,i now have a trekology UL 140, for me, a game changer,12cm thick and wider than a UL80,i swear by it,i dont mind a little extra weight if im going to be comfy 👍
I am a side sleeper and went for an Etrol mattress.
Supposedly thermal rating of 4 and very comfortable.
They've gone up a bit since I bought it but I guess that's inflation 😂
Excellent pun
Cheers Dan, just ordered mine, my UL80 has failed but was comfy too...Cheers ATB Chris.
Great and informative vid, thanks
Good and honest review. Stay safe atb 👍🦊
I bought this after watching this video and it was great. I’m quite a big person, 6’3 and 23 stone, and this was really comfortable! I used a highlander foil mat under it for additional warmth. Thank you for the recommendation Dan!
Thankyou for watching
Hi. I see you are using the highlander foil mat. Is it any good?? cuz I'm planning to buy it soon. Ever tried to use it over a mat?? Pls, tell me your opinion. Tnx
I am sticking with my exped megamat duo 15LXM as it’s like sleeping on a bed at home with room for a solo camper to stretch out and swap sides when sleeping. Nothing else can beat it.
Only a muppet compares a £450 mattress to a a £60 pad
I usually dig out a little hole or divot for my hip to rest in stick the mat on top away you go
English Woodsman, I to have one of those bad boys. I got the regular size but in my opinion it's massive
Love your review videos any chance you can do a wild camp at harwood forest
Must add to the basket for just incase. I'm only after buying the Exped SynMat 5 lite M
Hi woodsman nice information thank you from sylvia ukxx
I've bought the mat on your recommendation and it came today, will be testing it out this weekend because I'm also a side sleeper.
Please let me know what you think mate
@@englishwoodsman i will Dan 👍
@@bourbon_sketcher I've used it about 4 or 5 time's now and i can't fault it mate 👍
THank you Dan. I loke the look of that. I'm currently using the Trekology pad, I think you have one of those too, how does it compare? Thanks for the video. Paul
Ok, you've convinced me. this will be my third attempt to find a comfortable night's sleep when I'm camping. The first two sleeping pads were so uncomfortable. Let's hope third time's a charm!
Is it any good?
@@thebugs8528Hope they survived..
Thanks for the great review! I’m really interested to know your thoughts between the Trekology UL80 and this one, as I’m a little torn. I only ask because you have reviewed both and Camfy P3 is £11 more, worth the extra spend?
Iv got a unimat after losing good versions (leaving gear at friends ) and family , BUT its been good (for a gift of my daughter) its been used for 3 years up scotlands mountains in the worst of winters , its been so good , i would buy one myself , i use thermarest down -18° bag with a liner and down booties in winter , with a british army bivi bag as a ground insulator in my solo tent 10/10 ultralite , version
Hi 👋 thank you for watching
Nice one Dan, a give away would be good.
Have you ever tried that thing where you put balloons in a sleeping bag for a mattress? It sounds awful to me but I have friends who swear it’s actually really comfortable!
Great video been trying too find something that’s not costing me £100+
English woodsman, bejesus they call me English Badger, you are definitely worth a follow.
How’s life bruvva?
Hope all is well with you and yours.
Hi, its that time of year again when camping is back on the brain. Ive been searching for a new sleeping mat and came across your videos. I have owned the ul80 which was good but just too narrow for me so i returned and bought the ul140. Great mat, really comfortable but i hate the built in pump (just a gimmik that adds weight and harder to pack down) and i dont like the built in raised pillow. As a side / front sleeper, its hard to find a comfortable mat, is this still the best one you have found for the money? Gone up a chunk currently £59.99. Appreciate your feedback on this, cheers for your reviews.
Looks a good honest review there Dan . Good that you've actually used this item for a period of time to. I've just got the trekology ul 80( which has differing reviews) . Its definately comfy but there seem concerns over durability . If I'd seen your review first I'd probably of gone for that . Have a unigear tarp that is well made and does the trick . Take care fella 🏕👍
Nice 1 no bs subscribed thnkx
might give 1 o them a go mate cheers Dan 👍👍
Giid video. Thanks. £60 on amazon now.
Hello Dan, could you tell me if this mat is any good for the colder months??
I have the large and wide one it’s all I use can not fault it for the price 👍
Great review Dan.
Just the sort of thing I want to see!
I too, am aside sleeper, I’ve been using a XL mat/pad by a firm called Forclaz from Decathlon. It’s good and wide but not as thick as that one in the important places, like you pointed out.👍🏾
Have u ever used it in a hammock like the dd frontline?
good one
I've just bought one Dan
Hi mate, I've just bought the camfy p3 after watching your review... it's great. However, I've since seen a pad by Kilos Gear for £81. R rating of 4, 950g and 10cm thick, built in foot pump. For an extra £25 it sounds like a great alternative.
Did you go for the kilos gear mat in the end ?
@@haydenwiles7299 I haven't yet met, I'm still interested in it though!
I have the ul 80 which has no R rating comfy but cold. I am a side sleeper. Certainly consider buying from your review.
That’s a Trekolgy one, I had to put the thermal mat on top of it to get warm!
@@RaynarNslR so did I, its a summer mat. Absolutely useless in the cold. I've just bought a crisp packet neoair x therm max (top dollar). A night at the Ritz!!!!!.(packet) 🤣
When I was a young kid (in the 60's) what you are using was called a lylow . Whats the difference? I want into try camping next year
Hi mate, will this fit in a dutch hooped bivi?
Foam Pad Exped Flex Mat Plus
combined with Evazote Piece for Shoulder and Hips
555 Grams
is this better than the trekology ul80? thanks.
After years looking for a good air mat i end up getting this one and I just got 2 more just in case they stop having it in Amazon
Hi Paulo thankyou for watching. I did the same in getting some just incase something happened
Do you think this mat is better than the OEX flux 5.0 as there both a similar price and the flux has R rating of 3
QVC Dan. You should get a job as a telesales 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Brilliant video just ordered one you were right about the outbacker stove and the hot tent and the hammock hot tent. So if it’s good enough for you then I’ve got to have one. Have you used it in a hammock?
Can you say which is more comfortable .The unigear comfy or the Trekoligy 140
I'm 5"9 175cm and I was only able to grab the large version....but I'll be using the largest thermarest compressible pillow with it. Will I be alright or are the proportions gonna be out of wack?
Hi would you say its better than the trekolgy ul 140 thanks
Thinking about this one. I had a ul80 but it keeps deflating on me, can’t find the leak but it won’t stay up…and it’s cold! I’m hoping this one will be a bit warmer as well.
This is the best side sleeping pad I have used..100% recommend
Thanks for input I have a thermo rest mat wasn't comfortable at all doing the west highland way with it it's the mummy shape one not good for side sleepers I think il give this one a shot 1kg is the weight is the down side but after seeing the reviews on here I think it's worth a try thanks 👍
Like number 15 :)
Can't find it for sale anywhere, only the smaller size left
You should visit Yosemite national park-california sometime if you ever traveling to the U.S . Amazing hiking and camping
Anyone have more long-term reviews? Any deflation etc, thanks!
Hey mate, you didn’t mention using it on a hammock. Would it be good for that? The klymit V wide is on sale for 40€ and I’m divided between these two.
I wanna go with the Onewind 12ft tarp and 12ft hammock. Their under quilt and blanket combo are tempting but… I still want the flexibility of being able to sleep on the floor if need be, because there won’t always be a tree around where I intend to go.
Mate the ungear is not good in hammock but the klymit would be
What's your thought on this against the Trekology UL 140?
Unigear all the way mate
hi dan do you know if this will fit inside a dutch army bivvy bag ?
I think !! It does Helen but I can't be 100%
Great unfortunately I don’t shop with Amazon
If it hold airtight it is waterproof.
Still reckon this is the best one you've tried for side sleeping EW? I've got a Trekology UL140 but either my daughter or partner pinch that whenever I'm out in the wild so looking at grabbing another one.
Mate I will highly recommend it to you I promise
@@englishwoodsman Cheers Dan. I'm hoping to have some videos up soon logging my misadventures on the Gower coastline....
Just slowly getting my electronic gear sorted as my camping setup is almost complete,
I paid about 27 pound in total with delivery I think. Really good material.
Can i ask where from? £27 is an immense price. 👌🏻
@@joeMancsGoneWild don't qoute me if it defineltyl was 27 or the price qouted by English Woodsmen. I cannot remember my friend. Got it online. Highly reccomend is worth 37 pounds anyhow.
@@bensden50 yeah ive since seen it for £36, great price! 👌🏻
Would you still recommend it at the more expensive / tapered end version that's now available?
Yes 100%%
I bought the large. Fill valve leaks. Failed the first time out.
That's no good . Did you send it back ?
@@englishwoodsman I had it for a couple months before I could get camping. I filled it with air the day I got it. Was very comfortable. I couldn't wait to sleep on it. Went hot tenting a couple months later and it leaks overnight. It was too late to send it back. I bought a thermarest. Love it. But it isn't as compact as the unigear.
