Nemo Eclipse All-Season Regular Wide Sleeping Mat Review - ''For my money, when you weigh comfort, R-value, pack size and cost together, this is the best sleeping mat on the market.''

Posted by Andy Neil on Jul 27, 2026

The Nemo Eclipse All-Season Regular Wide is the comfiest sleeping mat I have used, which is why it has become my go-to choice for most of my recent trips.

I used it at the Outdoor And Social event, then took it on a 50-mile section of the Pennine Way. S …
