Crash Pad as a Mattress
|
I seem to remember seeing a crash pad that opens longitudinally as well as normally, but can't remember the make. Red Chili makes one like it that goes for around $400, but I'm not looking to spend that much. Any ideas on other pads like this? Thanks for your time. |

google tri-fold crashpads. |

I use my Metolius Magnum crash pad as a mattress when I go camping. It's a tri-fold and fits perfectly under my 2 person REI tent at the end of the day for bedding. It is huge and is solid for protection when bouldering. Stu |

Mad Rock Triple Mad Pad is pretty good too. It's their regular pad with a third section that's not permanently attached. Six feet long when all laid out. It can also be made into a couch using the straps. |

Maybe the edelrid mantle? |

Sleeping on s Mad Rock pad is worse than sleeping on the ground. I don't know what they put in those pads - falling onto them is fine - but the moment you try to sleep on one, the foam turns into a slab of steel. |

+1 for the metolius tri folds. I have the recon which is a little small but it's super comfy and most importantly an awesome pad. |

The Misty Mountain Stealth Pad splits down the middle and joins end to end for a 2 foot x 6 foot sleeping pad. You really need another pad on top like a Thermarest because boulder pad foam is much denser than sleeping pad foam, which is probably why Wyatt H finds his Madrock pad to sleep like a "pad of steel". |

After years of use, my trifold mammut is an ideal sleeping pad. It is however pretty useless as a crash pad. |

I've got the Flashed ShoGun pad. It rolls up instead of tri folding and is a bit smaller than a twin matress. It fits perfectly into a 2 man tent, and it fits to the trunk of my Ford Escort. Not bad. It's dual density foam so the side you fall on has a stiffer foam than the underside where the shoulder straps are. Luckily Flashed is awesome and made the shoulder straps and hip belt removable so you can sleep on the soft side at night. Genius. I've also been caught in a storm for a couple of hours and I was freezing so I unzipped the whole pad and crawled in between the two foam layers with my dog and waited it out. And it works GREAT as a crash pad too. |

for versatility both bouldering n camping - I use the equivalent of a triple pad... a madpad and a full thickness V-crux satelite pad (thickest half pad ive seen). together theyre 69" / 5'9" in length. |
