These lightweight backpacking sleeping pads aren’t exclusive to your Amok Hammock as they can be utilized for tents and hammock tents but choosing from these sleeping pads will guarantee countless nights of successful sleep in the backcountry.
No time for reading? Here are our picks for the best sleeping pads.
R-VALUE (How cold of temperatures can your sleeping pad withstand?)
Manufactures of sleeping pads meant for hammock and tent camping provide an R-value. This describes the pad’s insulation capability & the higher R-value means better insulation.
For winter use it’s preferable to have an R-value of 5+. For the rest of the seasons (spring, summer, and fall 3+ works well.
If you are hammock camping in tropical conditions you’ll be able to use a sleeping pad without an r value. Most good brands include a repair kit when you purchase a pad.
From experience, pump sacks are the most effective way to inflate a hammock sleeping pad. Though integrated pumps or blowing into the pad will work just fine.
Sleeping pads that are filled with down or fiber must be pumped up with pump sack or integrated pump, otherwise the moisture from your breath will harm the mattress over time.
