Yes, of course. This sleeping pad is very comfortable and will give you a good nights sleep in any season. In my opinion. The added bonus of a high r-value just means it is truly a 4 season sleeping pad.
To deflate the one I was using ( cot size ) is pretty straight forward...just reverse the valve then begin rolling up the mat from the opposite end. Because it's a one-way valve, the air gets pushed out and does not rush back in as you roll it up. I'm not sure how easy it would be on the larger sized mats but I had no difficulty deflating this size. Lost Horizon also makes a portable air pump for easy inflation/deflation: amzn.to/3J2pfxi
I agree, that is insane, but that link is for the double size, thicker pad with an r-value of 13. Try the second link, it should show the same model I reviewed @ $185 cdn.
Beware, it's close to impossible to roll this mattress back in its bag. You need to be extremely strong to take all the air out. Unless you are will to struggle I would definitely not recommend this matt.
I hate to disagree with you, but I had no issue deflating my ‘cot’ size mat, thanks to it’s one-way valve it’s actually pretty easy to do. However I have not used the larger mats which might be harder to deflate. Lost Horizon also make an electric inflator/deflator that will suck all the air out quickly and easily.
@@TheOneCanoe unfortunately I purchased the twin,about 38 inch. I deflated the mattress on my bed and it was a hard task.. I can’t imagine deflating it in a tent on the floor. I opened the valve for twenty minutes and walked out of my bedroom. After twenty minutes the mattress was still full. I began using my knees and body weight to let air out and I can’t imagine a senior or someone not strong deflating this mattress. Maybe the smaller mattress would be easier or maybe if the twin had 2 valves it be easier. The mattress is extremely confi but deflating it is a major con.
@@lazaroisern8032 These mats do not "self-deflate". They have to be rolled up or folded to force the air out, and the one-way valve prevents air from rushing back in as you are rolling them. Yes it can be a bit of a chore due to the depth of these mattresses.
I guess only 'time and use' will answer that question. I'm very impressed with the build quality and durability of these mats. I have used mine on several trips and so far no problems.
Thanks for the video just ordered mine. What kind of tent are you using?
Would you recommend this for spring/summer camping?
Yes, of course. This sleeping pad is very comfortable and will give you a good nights sleep in any season. In my opinion. The added bonus of a high r-value just means it is truly a 4 season sleeping pad.
good review
Thank you.
Can you show or tell me about deflating on scale how hard or easy it is to pack it ???

Any idea of cost? Or did I miss that in the video?
The current price for that size on Amazon is $109 US or $185 Cdn.
Only used a Lost Horizon product once, it was not a good experience.
Oh, sorry to hear that. My Lost Horizon was probably one of my best sleep experiences.
link says $400!!! That's insane

Any type of these self inflating mats will pack up best if you roll the air out of it at least twice. It's what we do for extra r value and comfort 😊

trying to deflate it "on your bed" is not going to help at all.
Are these just another cheap a$s blow up mattress that wil start leaking after a week?
