Mega by name, mega by nature: whether we’re talking about size, comfort or warmth, this double camping mattress has got it all. With a special doublewide profile that is tailor-made to fit inside most campervans, this is as comfortable as sleeping in a vehicle gets. Featuring a self-inflating 3D profile, the Megamat Auto boasts a level sleeping surface from edge to edge. Dedicated low-profile valves for inflation and deflation make set-up and pack-down easy and the carry handle makes it a breeze to move in and out of your van or car. It also includes a smart SideWinder storage bag – just roll the mat up and slot it into the height-adjustable roll top bag, which also features a handy carry strap.
The Exped story started in the early 1980s, in a basic log cabin deep in the Canadian wilderness. That might seem strange for a brand that is Swiss through and through. But it starts to make sense when you hear founders Heidi and Andi Brun talk about their wanderlust as young, twenty-something dreamers.
They built the cabin with their own hands and survived through the harsh winter by learning essential outdoor skills. Day-to-day existence relied on what nature provided – teaching them to live sustainably and with minimal impact. It also demonstrated clearly and simply that the most valuable thing to take into the great outdoors is knowledge, not equipment.
Their fledgling company started out as a distributor, bringing iconic outdoor brands to Switzerland. But soon, they became dissatisfied with other companies’ products. They felt they could do things better. So, they did, transitioning from distributor to manufacturer in 1997. What followed was a slew of pioneering products, from robust backpacking tents to down-filled sleeping mats. Generations on, many of those products are still part of the current Exped range – more refined, yet still built to work in the wild.
