 Not as fluffy as it looks Jan 31, 2007
By ThurzNite
The product did self-inflate, but not very much. Left on it's own, it's only as comfortable as the non-inflatable mats (like thick yoga mat). I ended up giving 4 full breaths of air to make it comfortable. With so much air, you barely feel the foam in the mat, which made me upset because I've been on nicer self-inflating mats that rose the full 1.5" and didn't need additional breaths. The pillow's convenient too. Weight is medium to heavy but still portable. Best left to car-camping. I've used it many times for sleepovers and it's very durable. Wish it came with a sack, but the compression straps are ok.

 a decent self inflating mat Jan 09, 2007
By ACE

I went motorcycle camping right after Christmas. It got down to 25 degrees at night. The Swiss Gear Self Inflating Mat kept me off the cold
ground. It packed compact enough to be carried between my windshield and my handlebars. The pillow had to be blown into to get the "pillow" effect.
If purchasing again, I would try to find one at least 3 inches thick when
inflated. It appears to be a quality product. Much needed in winter camping.

Not as expected, but still good Jan 18, 2007
By Victoria Raisky
The Mat is very well made, but the expectation was for it to be a bit thicker than it really is and also to inflate faster. In general, though, it is pretty good.

By Melinda Machovina
This isn't a very good mat I didn't even like slepping on it one night.

It's just okay Jul 13, 2007
By Andrew Peters
I bought this mat because it was a lot less expensive than many of the Thermarest options out there and I needed something quick. Like others have said, it does not inflate very well on it's own and takes a good few breaths to get it to inflate to a comfortable thickness. The attached pillow is a very nice feature and is separately adjustable from the main mat to fit your preference.
The sleeping area itself is my only complaint. Wegner should have put in more rivet points or use another method to keep the pad more flat and even. When sleeping on this mat, most of the air goes to the area where there is the least weight: the feet. It took some adjusting to get my feet from flying into the air when I laid down or rolled over, but it is possible to find a reasonably comfortable position on this mat. The attached pack straps are handy to keep the mat closed too.
Overall, I would say this mat is decent for the low price and having an attached pillow is nice. It might be a bit bulky for those that like to backpack, but is good for the car camper.
