Sleep outside in luxury, without the extra weight or bulk on a Boundary Deluxe Insulated. Featuring an ultra-comfortable and super-quiet quilted two-way stretch top that provides a cushioned, pillow-soft sleeping surface for maximum sleep-ins. Keep your tent mates happy with fabric that makes minimum noise when changing position or getting up in the night. Perfect for when you're not willing to compromise, the Boundary Deluxe Insulated is made for both speed and comfort!
Our Verdict
The mat works well for side sleepers; it’s 8cm thick in the middle, keeping you off the ground and well cushioned. The two outer baffles are oversized, 11cm thick, and help you stay on the mat at night, which is especially good for restless sleepers.
The materials used are lightweight yet robust, with a 40D nylon top and a 70D recycled nylon ripstop bottom; you don’t have to be as precious with it as you would be with some ultra-light mats.
The upper material is nicer against the skin and would work brilliantly with a quilt. However, Big Agnes’ description of a “Stretch top material (that) provides a pillow-soft sleeping surface” is a bit of an exaggeration; it’s nicer than sleeping on a bare mat, but I wouldn’t describe it as “pillow soft”.
The mat is rectangular, which I prefer over mats that taper at the feet; I always find that my legs have slipped off during the night on narrower mats, especially if I'm using a quilt. A rectangular mat will add some weight, but I'll happily carry a few more grams for a good night’s sleep. It’s a nice quiet mat, so you won’t disturb your campmates tossing and turning during the night
