Insulated Static V Luxe Inflatable Sleeping Pad | Comfortable, Lightweight, Easy to Inflate Portable Air Bed Mattress for Camping, Backpacking and Hiking — Red

I just wrote a previous review for the standard-size Klymit sleeping pad. I returned it only because it was too narrow for my liking. This Klymit Luxe version is just right -- a little wider, just a little thicker, and kept this "old guy sleeping on the ground" very comfortable during the night. It is well made, inflates easily, retains its loft through the night, and keeps the chill from coming through. I used a battery powered mini-pump to inflate, but it would be no issue blowing it up yourself. I like the valve design -- very simple to operate and doesn't leak. Although it is still a small, lightweight pad that compacts nicely into its bag, some might say it is more suitable for car camping because of their need to save weight. I am 5'10"and 230 lbs, and this pad was very comfortable- long enough and wide enough to handle my "rotisserie" style of sleeping all night. I would highly recommend this pad and the Klymit brand.

This is A terrific camping sleeping pad. As with any product there will be pros and cons. Let me list a couple of the pros. This thing is wide. Not too much worry about rolling off of it. I have a 22" wide 4" thick pad that is extremely comfortable but I am always worried about rolling off of it during the night so much so anytime I feel I'm at the edge of it I wake myself up. Not a good night sleep.. Number 2 this is very comfortable I was a little worried the very 1st time I inflated this and layed down on it, that it was not going 2 be comfortable. if I do not have adequate padding underneath my hip I can only stand about one hour of sleep until the pain wakes me up. And I have to switch sides. This pad is thick enough to keep me completely lifted off the ground in a pain free sleep. I am 5'10" 170 pounds. I included a picture next to the klymit rechargeable inflator. And a can of soda pop. So you could get an idea of the size it folds down into. It is a very thin material but seems like it is very resilient. As for blowing it up, because of its size I would not like to do this manually. But I already had the rechargeable inflator and took maybe one minute to get it completely filled. Usually with A battery powered inflator you have to blow into the pad yourself to get it to the firmness that you want. I think it must be because of the V-shape of the pad chambers that this is very comfortable and supports my weight very well.. The con would be inflating this by blowing into it which because of its size may take a while. Also I purchased the insulated pad when I and rolled it out of its bag I could not believe that it was insulated. I still do not believe it is actually insulated there seems to be a 1/8 inch soft something inside it that they must consider insulation. I think if I were to spend the money again I would buy the non insulated pad and save several dollars.. I am very impressed by the size of the inflated pad and also the size of the deflated rolled up pad. very little Room in my motorcycle panniers.

After decades of family-style camping with 8-person tents and huge queen-sized air mattresses, I recently decided to downsize for solo bikepacking trips. After doing the normal thing and "researching" by watching 78 different YT videos of other people testing sleeping pads, I took the info and picked the Klymit Insulated Static-V Luxe extra-wide sleeping pad based on what my needs were: - 6' tall male @ 240lbs - primarily a side sleeper - packable size but weight was not a primary driver - some semblance of insulation due to camping in 3 seasons in midwest US - compatible with sleeping quilts The 30" width makes it more comfortable for how I sleep, rolling side-to-side frequently all night. I found that the V shapes tended to help suspend the points of contact on my body better than others I tried at sporting goods stores recently. The insulation capabilities make it comfortable when used with my new UGQ quilt and straps. The weight of this pad is a bit more than others in its class, but since I'm packing on a bicycle, weight is not a huge concern to me. Packable size is, though, and this is a little large but not too bad. It fits nicely in one side of my pannier bags. Blowing the pad up by mouth may be too much for some, as it's certainly large. I used a small pump to blow it up; the flip-style valve was kind of difficult to get the pump nozzle to fit to, but it wasn't too bad, and filled up quickly. For the record I have a Flextailgear MP2 Pro pump/lamp. I used the rubber nozzle included with the pump. I have a UGQ quilt; if you don't know what a sleeping quilt is, it's not a blanket made of scraps by artisans. It's basically a down-filled sleeping bag, but it primarily has the back cut out. It's made to be paired with a good insulated sleeping pad to give the sleeper the warmth they need without the extra weight of a full bag. As well, many sleeping quilts are made to be opened fully (like a blanket), and they lay around the sleeper loosely compared to a mummy bag. This pad being wider than most, you will want to make certain your quilt will fit it well. My bag was custom made wide (approx 50" W flat), so it fits well when I'm in it (though a bit tightly if I spread it from edge to edge of the pad instead of to my body). I just used the pad for the first time in temps colder than 50F this weekend; two nights ago the low was 39F, and last night it was 46F and humid. Both nights the insulation in the pad was adequate for comfortable warmth. Coupled with a Klymit Luxe pillow (but also wearing a wool Buff) I slept very well; temps were not an issue for me. Klymit says that normal down sleeping bags will pack into the deep troughs and help to insulate more, but I think that's not likely, as the material of a bag will stretch tight when a body lays on it, and the tight material will tend to span the grooves/troughs. That said, if you're a quilt sleeper, this isn't even an option for you, unless you sleep on additional covers like a wool blanket. I have not needed to try this yet; my Meriwool base layers were more than enough to keep warm on the pad. Is this the perfect pad for everyone? No. Should you try it? Maybe, depending on if the limitations will affect how YOU sleep or pack. For me, it was a great match so far, and I look forward to sleeping many more hours on this pad over the coming years. EDIT: After using this for a few seasons, I am happy to say the above review sticks the landing. I wouldn't change a thing other than to say the pad hasn't given me any problems with over 50 uses logged. No leaks. I do pair it with a "reflective" pad now when I'm camping under 30F, but only as "just-in-case" insurance. And the pillow is quite comfortable as well! Is it the best insulation layer available? No. But I'm not paying $300 for a slightly better Therm-A-Rest. I'd rather spend the extra money on my quilt or sleeping bag. Good job, Klymit! Thanks for making something affordable and useful in this economy!

Used this at Scout camp as an extra pad for my bunk. The extra insulation helped, and my body was very supported. I really liked the v-shape to keep me in the middle of the pad. Inflating it was a pain. It inflated in about 50 breaths, but some air escaped because I needed a break. I bought a battery operated air pump to use the second time, and it inflated much better. Deflating took time, and rolling it back up into the stuff sack is hard if you're impatient. Update 2026: My sleep pad is still going strong! I've used it for Scout camping trips, and in our popup camper on my bunk. I did have a minor puncture from my cat clawing it when she decided to lay on it to claim it as hers (As she does with everything). The Klymit repair kit sold separately worked like a charm. Overall I am VERY happy with my purchase, and I have recommended Klymit to others searching for camp sleeping gear. I've updated my review to 5 stars from 4, and would give more if I could.

I used this for the first time last weekend on a two night backpacking trip. I really, really liked it. It's thick enough to provide some real comfort and equally good at giving some good insulation against the cold ground. Just remember to fully snap the closure over the air inlet/outlet valve to maintain air pressure in the pad throughout the night. And get a lightweight rechargeable electric air pump to inflate and deflate the pad. On a long backpacking trip, it's probably too heavy, but for a couple of days on the trail and just around a campground, it's worth it.

I am a larger person, at 5'10" 300 pounds. I was worried if this would hold up, and not give me pressure point soreness. This pad was excellent. During my gear test just in our small woods this pad kept me comfy and warm paired with a 20 degree sleeping bag. The low was 28 degrees and the only thing that was cold on me was the tip of my nose. Wasn't too bad to inflate, took just a few minutes. Stayed inflated the hole night, and easily rolled back up to fit in its carry bag. A little bulkier than non insulated, but not terrible.

This was a gift for my son who enjoys camping. It was lightweight in his pack and inflated easily. Good size for a 6 foot man and not noisy and no crinkling when you move during your sleep. Good purchase and quick shipping.

Bought two of these for my camping trips. They look good, pack nice and their pump is pretty cool. That is all good. Now the bad. Damn thing does NOT hold air, doesn't matter if you inflate with the pump ( which it doesn't inflate hard enough) top it off with your mouth or you inflate with pump only - couple hours and the damn thing is completely flat. I was so excited that finally I will have mattress which will prevent cold air from the ground to reach me. I had a guests coming and I had to sleep in the computer room on the floor, so I thought that is going to be a good practice in mild condition to test the mattress. I woke up after couple of hours completely on the floor, just as flat as you would take it from the bag. I thought OK, it's a lemon, maybe I try my second one. Inflated, and couple of hours later - the damn second one had the same story! You may say - you just don't know how to use the valve. Rest assured, I can figure that out just fine, I make my living of fixing industrial equipment, conveyors, robots and programming damn PLC's. I can understand what is written on the valve and how to use it. The damn thing is a disaster. The fabric is really nice and comfortable, but completely worthless because it does not hold air. So my return time window closed and now I am stuck with TWO worthless mattresses and pump which it wasn't cheap. I also bought the cross canyon tent from them through another outlet, I sincerely hope the tent will be better than these mattresses. So now you know what you will be dealing with, so make informed decision before buying. Or test it the same day you receive it. Unfortunately for me because of my very busy schedule between work and college I haven't done that. My bad trusting them.

Exelente colchón aproximadamente llevo 10 salidas de campamento y es muy comodo. En climas templados a frios no permite el paso del frio ni humedad del suelo la temperatura mínima en la que lo he utilizado es de -1°C. El tamaño es adecuado para una persona de 195cm y 95kg. A la hora de guardarlo en su bolsa es un poco mas grande que una botella de agua y no siento que sea pesado

Heute 3 Monate nach dem Kauf ausgepackt und es fehlt einfach das Ventil. Somit lässt sich die Matte nicht aufblasen lassen. ABER: Habe den Kundendienst angeschrieben und das Ventil wurde direkt nachgesendet. Top Service und Top Produkt. Somit immer gerne wieder. Einfach beste Matte für draußen unterwegs sein. Einige schon ausprobiert und diese ist nicht zu toppen. Zudem bin ich recht schwer mit 110kg und bin seitenschläfer. Dennoch schlafqualität super.

very happy with this item .

This sleeping pad has ruined me for all other sleeping pads. I have tried sooooo many over the years and never been able to find the perfect one that is genuinely comfortable. Some are comfortable but too narrow so my legs or arms hang down from the sides. This is very comfortable to sleep on your back or your side (I am a side sleeper or tummy sleeper). Despite its weight I even carry this when hiking and wild camping, the good sleep is worth it. Also the insulation is phenomenal, I sleep directly on top of the pad and unzip my sleeping bag to use it as a quilt. I am so warm and comfortable! ** Now I have had a chance to use it through winter, I can say with absolute certainty that this is only a 3 season pad. Warm and very comfortable down to about 5°c, I tried it at 0°c (using a comfort -7°c sleeping bag and a thick foil insulation pad under the pad) and I could feel the cold on my hips and my back. It was awful and l got no sleep. I will keep it as a 3 season pad and I will have to invest in the Thermarest xtherm for winter.

I'm a big guy, and a side sleeper, and I didn't touch the ground. Very comfortable, didn't feel like i was sleeping on an old school air mattress, and didn't touch the ground, and most importantly didn't wake up with a bad back. This is a winner. If you think you might camp in cooler weather buy the insulated model, it wasn't too hot camping in summer, and you'll be happy you did if you camp spring and fall. I used it motorcycle tent camping on the ground, and recommend it, packed small and light, and was comfortable
