DD Self Inflatable Mat

DD Self Inflatable Mat Coffin Shape for Hammock and Ground Camping

The DD Hammocks Self Inflatable Mat features a unique coffin shape with tapered foot end, making it truly versatile for both hammock camping and ground sleeping setups. This design fits perfectly in the dual layer pocket of DD Frontline Hammocks while also working as a standalone sleeping mat for ground camping.

Why the Coffin Shape Makes All the Difference

The tapered foot end isn't just about saving weight - it's designed to work with your body shape and hammock geometry:

• Hammock Compatibility - Fits perfectly in the dual layer pocket of DD Frontline Hammocks
• Body Shape Design - Wider at shoulders, narrower at feet matches natural body proportions
• Weight Distribution - Puts insulation where you need it most
• Pack Size - Tapered design reduces overall bulk when packed
• Ground Use - Works equally well as a roll-out mat for bivi camping

Real-World Performance

This mat handles UK camping conditions well. The 3cm thickness provides good insulation from cold ground, while the coffin shape means you're not carrying extra material you don't need. In a hammock, it slides easily into the dual layer pocket and stays put through the night.

The self-inflating design means you don't need to blow it up manually - just open the valve and it inflates itself, though you might want to add a few breaths for firmness preference.

What This Mat Does Well

The DD Self Inflatable Mat excels at providing insulation in hammocks where traditional rectangular mats don't fit properly. The coffin shape eliminates wasted material while providing insulation where your body needs it most. It's also genuinely useful for ground camping when you want something more comfortable than a basic foam mat.

What to Consider

This mat is designed for 3-season use - you'll need additional insulation for winter camping. Don't over-inflate it, especially in warm weather, as the air will expand. Keep it away from sharp objects and store it in moderate temperatures (under 25°C).

Perfect for UK Camping Conditions

The olive green colour blends well with UK woodland environments. The insulation works effectively for spring, summer, and autumn camping across Scotland, Wales, and England. The coffin shape is particularly useful in UK hammock camping where space efficiency matters for backpacking.

Sizing Guide

Choose Regular if you're under 5ft 10" and prioritize weight savings. Choose XL if you're taller, prefer more room to move, or plan to use it primarily for ground camping where the extra width is beneficial.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the coffin shape work in a hammock?

The tapered foot end fits perfectly in the dual layer pocket of DD Frontline Hammocks. The wider shoulder area provides insulation where you need it most, while the narrow foot section saves weight and bulk.

Can I use this for ground camping too?

Yes, it works well as a roll-out mat for bivi camping and ground sleeping. The coffin shape actually follows your body contours better than a rectangular mat.

Which size should I choose?

Regular for people under 5ft 10" who want to save weight. XL for taller people or anyone who wants more room to move, especially side sleepers.

How much should I inflate it?

Don't over-inflate. Open the valve and let it self-inflate, then add a few breaths to your firmness preference. Over-inflation can damage the mat, especially in warm weather.

Is this warm enough for winter?

This mat is designed for 3-season use. For winter hammock camping, you'll need additional insulation like a DD Underblanket underneath.

How does this compare to a rectangular sleeping mat?

The coffin shape provides insulation where you need it while saving weight and bulk. In hammocks, it fits much better than rectangular mats which can bunch up or slide around.
