FUN PAC 01 mat with pillow review

The widest mat in this group at twenty-seven inches, with a built-in foot pump, a built-in pillow and side buttons to join two together — and a thickness published as three inches and as eight.

On the maker’s own page

A camping sleeping pad, ultralight, with a pillow and a built-in foot pump, single, in green.

FUN PAC states a self-inflating pad up to 78 × 27 × 8 inches with egg-shaped air cells and a built-in pillow designed to relieve back and neck pressure, under a heading reading 3” thick; a built-in pump taking 30–60 seconds to inflate and one second to deflate, through an upgraded two-layer valve, with no need to inflate by mouth or pump; a weight and size stated to be like a water bottle, with the pillow saving carrying another; 40D nylon and TPU, resistant and easy to clean; and buttons on the side to connect another pad into a double bed, with different colors on each side.

No R-value. No packed size. No weight.

Three inches, and eight

In the same bullet.

The heading: “Extra Wide & 3” Thick Sleep Support”. The text: “up to 78278 inches”.

Eight inches inflated is an air bed, not a sleeping pad. Three is consistent with this shelf, where the inflated mats run 1.5 inches, 2.36 to 3.35, and 2.6.

This shelf’s introduction makes thickness the figure that decides whether a side sleeper’s hip reaches the ground. Three against eight is not a detail.

Self-inflating, and pumped

Two constructions, one page.

A self-inflating mat holds open-cell foam that draws air in when the valve opens. A pumped air mat has no foam and needs air moved into it.

The first bullet says self-inflating. The second says the built-in pump takes 30 to 60 seconds and that the mat “no longer needs to be inflated by mouth or pump”.

Both can be true at once — foam doing most of the work and a pump finishing it — and the page does not say so. The difference changes the weight, the packed size and the R-value.

Twenty-seven by seventy-eight

The widest and longest mat in this group.

Sixty-nine by a hundred and ninety-eight centimeters. The others run 19 to 25.2 inches wide and 70.8 to 76 long.

This shelf’s buying tip: buy the widest one your pack tolerates, because shoulders and elbows off the edge undo the rating.

And buttons to make it wider still

The only mat here designed to stop being alone.

Two joined is 54 inches, a small double — and the only answer on this shelf to two people on two narrow mats drifting apart in the night.

Forty denier

Between the two extremes here.

Twenty denier on the lightest air mat. Seventy-five on both self-inflating mats. Forty in the middle, with a TPU coating.

This shelf’s introduction says the base fabric denier is the face against grit. Forty is a reasonable place for a mat this size to sit.

FUN PAC’s instructions carry the inflation and the valve. Nothing here replaces them, and nothing on this page describes any product as safe.

What it does well, and where it gives way

Strengths

  • The widest and longest mat in this group: 27 by 78 inches
  • A built-in foot pump, so there is no separate pump sack to lose
  • A built-in pillow, which saves carrying one
  • Side buttons to join two mats into a double bed
  • Publishes its fabric as 40D nylon with TPU
  • Egg-shaped air cells, named as the reason for the pressure relief claim
  • A two-layer valve, published against leaks
  • One second to deflate, stated

Compromises

  • Three inches in the bullet heading against eight inches in the bullet text
  • No R-value published, on a mat sold partly on warmth
  • No packed size and no weight — "like a water bottle" is the only statement of either
  • Called a self-inflating pad in the first bullet and inflated by a built-in pump in the second
  • No standard named, because no figure is given to attach one to
  • Five bullets, of which the last is about color and connectability

What people ask before buying

Three inches thick or eight?

The same bullet says both. Its heading reads "Extra Wide & 3" Thick Sleep Support" and its text reads "up to 78*27*8 inches". Eight inches of inflated mat would be an air bed rather than a sleeping pad, and three inches is consistent with the rest of this shelf, where the inflated mats run 1.5, 2.36 to 3.35, and 2.6 inches. This shelf's introduction makes thickness the figure that decides whether a side sleeper’s hip reaches the ground, so the difference between three and eight is not a detail — and the maker is the place to settle it.

Is it self-inflating or pumped?

The listing says both, and they are different constructions. A self-inflating mat holds open-cell foam that draws air in when the valve is opened; a pumped air mat has no foam and needs air moved into it. The first bullet calls this a self-inflating pad and the second says the built-in pump takes 30 to 60 seconds and that it "no longer needs to be inflated by mouth or pump". A built-in foot pump on a self-inflating mat is possible — the foam does most of the work and the pump finishes it — but the page does not say that, and the distinction changes the weight, the packed size and the R-value.

What do the side buttons do?

Make two mats into one bed. Buttons along the edge let a second identical mat be joined, which is the only answer in this group to the problem of a couple on two narrow mats drifting apart in the night. At 27 inches each, two joined is 54 inches — a small double. It is also why the width here matters twice: this is the widest mat on the shelf alone, and the only one designed to stop being alone. This shelf's buying tip says to buy the widest mat the pack tolerates, and two of these are wider than any single mat here.
