Exped Flex 1.5R is an extremely lightweight, robust and versatile closed-cell foam sleeping mat, designed for hiking, bikepacking and camping. The mat can be used alone as a primary sleeping mat in mild overnight temperatures, or as an extra insulation and protection layer beneath an inflatable mat to improve the R-value and guard against punctures from uneven ground.

An R-value of 1.7 provides reliable base insulation, and the foldable construction means the mat can be packed away quickly in an accordion fold without rolling. The foam core is made from environmentally friendly IXPE foam – a high-quality material that is highly durable, water-resistant and dimensionally stable over time.

The mat withstands direct use on rock, roots and uneven ground without losing its shape, and is ideal as a lightweight, low-maintenance alternative to inflatable sleeping mats.
