Exped Ultra 3R Duo
Exped replaced my older DUO pad that had blown baffles, for FREE! They sent me this updated version of the DUO. I love it! I love that Exped makes a double pad that has separate air chambers! This is a game changer for couples who prefer different pad thickness and comfort.
Pros
- Dual air chambers
- Large and wide
- Warm
- Soft to sleep on





Features
- Each half of the Duo mat fills separately, allowing users to customize their firmness; and, if one sleeper moves around, their motion is less likely to disturb the other sleeper
- Duo sizing can save weight, as a Duo pad is generally lighter than the weight of two separate pads combined
- Mat is 3 inches thick, providing ample comfort against rocky, rooty, uneven terrain
- 20-denier, 100% recycled polyester fabric is incredibly lightweight; nonslip finish helps keep you on the pad
- Interior hydrolysis-resistant laminate is impervious to bacteria and moisture, which can degrade typical polyurethane coatings, ensuring an airtight mat for many years
- Internal welded baffles separate air chambers, creating a fully cushioned and stable sleep surface and preventing cold spots without excessive weight and bulk
- Internal synthetic insulation is laminated to both the top and bottom of each baffle, ensuring consistent warmth and R-value rating, use after use, year after year
- Proprietary 60 g Texpedloft microfiber insulation
- Air chambers are oriented head-to-toe, so the pad becomes slightly wider when weighted
- Oversize outer chambers form the Exped Comfort Cradle, helping to keep you centered and secured on the pad
- Vertical baffle orientation also reduces end-of-baffle welds, increasing lifespan of the pad
- Tapered design (head to foot) saves weight and reduces bulk when packed
- Medium size tapers from 41.3 in. wide at the head to 32.3 in. wide at the foot
- Long Wide size tapers from 51.2 in. wide at the head to 40.6 in. wide at the foot
- This mat has an R-value of 2.9, which makes it best for adventures in cool weather; it provides moderate insulation from ground temperature
- The higher the R-value, the more insulated the mat
- Durable, easy-to-use, one-way Flat Valves provide a high volume of airflow so you can quickly inflate/deflate the pad.
- Includes Schnozzel pump bag for inflation
- Best use: Backpacking
- R Value 2.9

I have always owned ExPed pads, I love them. Two of my pads blew baffles and ExPed replaced both of them at no cost to me! The brand is great and its customer service is unlike any other! They shipped my new replacement pads out in record time so I did not have to purchase another pad.
Background
I have backpacked for over 10 years and have used many different brands of air mattress pads.
