The Exped Downmat 9 Pump is a 9cm thick sleeping mat that contains Goose Down to provide superb insulation from the cold ground and is suitable to temperatures as low as -38°C. These mats have been scientifically proven to be 3 times warmer than a self-inflating foam mat of the same weight. Plus, another massive advantage of the Downmat is that it can be packed much quicker and takes up a lot less space in your pack, making it ideal for the fast and light adventure racer and minimalist backpacker.
To inflate the mat it is best to use the built-in pump, and not your own breath as this will be damp and impair the loft of the down. The pump is easily operated and fills the mat in a few minutes. The two wide valves ensure fast inflation and simple deflation, just one quarter turn closes and opens the valves making things simple but efficient.
Similar to a sleeping bag, baffles between the mat's chambers eliminate cold spots and promote a stable and supportive air cushion. Light foam blocks at the mat‘s ends prevent down from escaping or migrating between chambers. The laminated polyester fabric is both durable and airtight. The top surface of honeycomb textured fabric provides superior slip resistance and comfort next to the skin. Seams and valves are all high-frequency welded (most secure method of fusing fabrics and materials) to ensure mat durability and integrity.

Exped Downmat 9 Pump Review
Reviewer: Janice Willsher, Craigie (5-5-2012)
Bought as back needs support. I get cold at night. Wanted something reasonably light for future long distance walking. Narrow for a woman with hips but fine as it will fit into a smaller, lighter tent. Easy to pump up. Only slept on one night so far but great. Need decent height of pillow as flat, I got heartburn and a sore neck with one pillow (but thats just me).




Exped Downmat 9 Pump Review
Reviewer: Ben, Bristol (21-11-2009)
Exped Downmat 9 Pump DLX purchased from Facewest in March 2009.
The mattress was used on an expedition to Mera Peak, Nepal, and performed very well. The stuff-sac is generously sized, to allow easy packing, and the overall pack size is compact for a mattress providing such a high degree of insulation. At over 1kg in weight, it is not particularly light, but the added warmth generated more than compensates for this.
Through continuous daily inflation and deflation for 18 nights, no problems were experienced whatsoever. Only minor criticism would be on length of time it takes to inflate but, again, comfort provided makes the extra effort worthwhile!
The tough outer material was found to be resistant to minor spillages in the tent, but the black colour does mean the mattress warms up very quickly when exposed to sunlight, so should not be used, or left to air/dry, outside in the sun (where damage could result due to expansion of air inside).
The larger DLX version fitted snugly into an average-sized three-person tent, but may be too large for smaller tent inners.




Exped Downmat 9 Pump Review
Reviewer: Stephen M, Brussels (8-11-2009)
The Exped Downmat 9 Pump Mattress is in my opinion the best inflatable sleeping mat on the market at present.
Weighing a kilo with the pump bag (which is also waterproof) and having 250 grams of 700 European Fill power down it a must have items for any trips below zero, the Mat is rated to -38 Celsius and also allows for a lighter sleeping bag to be carried.
Comfort wise it is very hard to beat. I would have no problem sleeping on this mat for extended period. It is a bit heavy for summer use but from Autumn to Spring it comes in to its one.
