Exped says:
MegaMat Auto is specially designed for vehicles. Its shape with cut-outs on the sides makes it the perfect mat for sleeping in the car.
Like the other mats in the MegaMat product line, the MegaMat Auto features a 10 cm of open-cell foam. This not only provides the best sleeping comfort, but also ideal insulation from below. The 3D construction ensures the biggest possible sleeping surface. The soft stretch polyester surface creates a cradling comfort.
The MegaMat Auto has two separate flat valves for quick inflation and deflation. The mat is self-inflating. With the included mini-pump, the desired firmness can be achieved. A nifty Sidewinder Bag makes for quick and easy packing.

ASTM R-Value:
From 2020, there is a new industry standard for measuring the R-value (level of insulation) of sleeping mats – ASTM F3340-18. This new standard is the sleeping mat equivalent to the EN rating for sleeping bags.
You can now directly compare the R-value of mats rated using the ASTM F3340-18 with confidence that is a fair and accurate comparison between mats. In simple terms, the higher the R-value, the warmer the mat.
In general terms, an R-value below 2.0 is for summer use, 2.0 to 4.0 is for cooler 3 season use and 4.0+ is for winter temperatures. This will be also be dependent on your sleeping bag, how cold you sleep etc. Please contact our customer service team if you need advice on choosing the right mat for your activity.
