Light or thick sleeping mat – which should I choose?
One of the most important characteristics of a good sleeping mat is its weight. For example, when hiking, you want your backpack to weigh as little as possible. Therefore, you can gain a lot by saving a little weight and choosing a lightweight mat.
But if you are going camping instead and not carrying a heavy backpack, you can take advantage of the comfort offered by a thick sleeping mat. You should therefore choose a mat according to your specific needs.
