From Backcountry.com:
"The Exped DownMat sleeping pad combines the cushioning of an air pad and the insulation of down to let you sleep comfortably on cold winter camping trips. Super light 700 fill-power goose down traps air beneath your body, decreasing the heat-robbing effect regular air mats have when lying on cold ground. Down's superb compression factor allows the DownMat to pack comparably with other air or foam pads, and inside the tough, UV- and abrasion-resistant polyester fabric, a Nocar treatment prevents molding and clumping. Exped provides a pump sack that quickly and safely inflates the sleeping pad to avoid loft-killing moisture entry, and you can use the pump sack as a pillow when you're done."

From Backcountry Outlet:
"Need a comfortable, lightweight way to warm up your winter camping trip? Get the Exped Downmat sleeping pad. This inflatable down-filled sleeping pad gives you the best of all worlds-the comfort of an air pad, plus the insulation of down. The Exped Downmat deflates and compresses to a size that's comparable to other air or foam pads. Inside the tough, UV-resistant laminated polyester fabric, a Nocar treatment prevents molding and clumping of the 700-fill down. Because you're breath contains moisture that can ruin the insulating qualities of the down, Outdoor Research provides a pump sack that quickly and safely inflates the sleeping pad."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"Stay three times warmer in cold conditions than on an ordinary self-inflating mattress with the innovative Exped Down Air Mattress. Beneath the slip-resistant polyester fabric is a thick layer of 700-loft goose down insulation that optimizes thermal performance and minimizes heat loss through convection. The down insulation is also far more compressible than most self-inflating foam mattresses, so you can stick the 10 inch-by-6 inch stuff sack inside your backpack instead of letting it dangle on the exterior like other sleeping mats. This is an inflatable design, but the combined weight of the Pumpsack (included) and the Down Air Mattress is just over two pounds. Keep in mind that inflating the mattress by using moist air from your lungs can cause the down to clump and render it less effective. Exped recommends using the included Pumpsack Pump to inflate the Down Air mattress. You only need to pump the Pumpsack roughly ten times to fill the mattress (the exact amount of air largely depends on individual preferences). High loft 700 premium goose down insulation 75-denier polyester fabric with tricot netting baffles Welded vertical baffle design to reduce exposed surfaces to cold air Packsack air pump included Open dimensions: 72 in. x 20.5 in.

"This was the first time I slept decent, not needing to turn over all night to relieve pain from grounding out my hip in the hard dirt. I slept great. Conditions were not cold, so I can't attest to warmth created by Exped, but comfort, yes, unbelievable."
