The Sea to Summit Camp Plus Self-Inflating Mat is more or less self-inflating, very thick, suitable for camping in all seasons, and compact and light enough even to be carried in the backpack.
I ordered the wide-regular version of this sleeping pad and took it with me in the Alps for testing. On some tours at high elevations my tent was on pure rock and at temperatures around zero degrees Celsius, but I was very comfortable with this pad and did not feel the ground at all.

I've been undecided between this Camp Plus SI vs the Comfort plus SI. Do you happen to know the difference on both? Price are double on the comfort plus but not sure what the advantage is, they both look the same to my eye
Hi, the main difference is the fabric, you have 30D stretch knit polyester on the upper of the Comfort Plus pad combined with 30D woven polyester on the bottom. But in the Camp Plus it is a 70D woven polyester everywhere.
This would mean that the former may feel softer and more pleasant, but I would say that it is also far less durable.
The Comfort Plus is a bit heavier as well due to the fabric difference.
The R value is 4.1 in the former as compared to 4.3 in the Camp Plus, but this is not so important.
@mountainsforeverybody Thanks for the response! I ended up buying it using your link.
@@povoljan13 Many thanks.
What is the name of the pillow you use? :)
Thank you for asking, this is my Forclaz pillow. Here you can see all about it: mountainsforeverybody.com/forclaz-mt500-inflatable-backpacking-travel-pillow-review
I just bought this pad I’ve open the valve it’s been about 16 hours and it’s still only about 1 inch thick. I know it said the first time it takes a while but seems like it should be thicker after 16 hours. Did you find the first time you inflated this it took a very long time?
Hi, I hope this is the same Plus version pad, because the full thickness is three inches. It make no sense, 16 hours and one inch only. They have the standard version which is 1.5 inch thick, so please check if this is the same pad as mine.
But my experience is also not so great in this respect. Initially it would inflate to some point and it was not bad, I would then blow extra air with my mouth. But later, the self-inflation looked far reduced, and this means more air blowing, but this is still fine.
I think this all is due to too-big cut-out channels. The foam would be more reactive if it would be more of it inside, but this would make the pad much heavier and bulkier. Not a bad trade-off all in all, I am quite happy with my pad.
@@mountainsforeverybody yeah I thought it would self inflate faster even the first time based on the instructions. I got the regular rectangular, but it’s still supposed to be 3 inches stick. I ended up putting a little air in it with a pump this morning and finished it off super comfortable. I mean not too firm but just really really comfortable. I really like it thanks for the response and I subbed in liked
