What are these sleeping pads you speak of? When I was young, all backpacking was uphill both ways and everyone slept on the ground in sleeping bags with only a half-inch of thin closed-cell foam between us and every pebble. We also filtered our water with our teeth and ate mainly raw meat and foraged ramps. Kids these days.

你说的这些睡垫是什么?我年轻的时候,徒步旅行总是翻山越岭,大家只能睡在地上,睡袋下面垫着半英寸厚的薄泡沫垫,隔着它能感觉到地上的每一颗小石子。那时候我们甚至用牙齿过滤水,主要吃生肉和采集的野蒜。现在的孩子真是太幸福了。

Still, I suppose there is something to be said for getting a good night’s sleep at the end of a long day on the trail. These days, there’s no shortage of packable, lightweight sleeping pads to make sure no peas (or pebbles) ever disturb your slumber on your next backpacking trip. We’ve spent countless nights on all manner of sleeping pads, and we’re happy to report that in all this time we’ve never had one fail on us. That said, there are some standouts—looking at you, Nemo Tensor All Season—and a few to avoid.

不过,在漫长的一天徒步后,能睡个好觉确实非常重要。如今,市面上有各种轻便易携带的睡垫,确保你在下一次徒步旅行中不会被任何“豌豆”(或小石子)打扰睡眠。我们已经在各种睡垫上度过了无数个夜晚,很高兴地告诉大家,在这期间我们从未遇到过睡垫损坏的情况。话虽如此,其中确实有一些表现突出的产品——比如 Nemo Tensor All Season——当然也有一些需要避雷的产品。

How to Choose a Backpacking Sleeping Pad

如何选择徒步睡垫

Here are some general guidelines to keep in mind when shopping for a new sleeping pad. When backpacking, we suggest sticking with inflatable pads or self-inflating pads (though these are generally heavier), which offer the best insulation and cushioning for their size and weight. Whatever your specific needs, your goal is always to find the best warmth-to-weight ratio. More warmth means more weight. Keep the following tips in mind.

在选购新睡垫时,请记住以下几点通用准则。徒步旅行时,我们建议选择充气睡垫或自动充气睡垫(尽管后者通常较重),它们在尺寸和重量方面提供了最佳的隔热和缓冲效果。无论你的具体需求是什么,目标始终是找到最佳的保暖重量比。保暖性越强,重量通常也越大。请牢记以下建议。

Know your intended use. Every ounce counts, and so does the packed size. Smaller, lighter pads take up less room in your pack and are great for a thru-hike where you’re trying to minimize gear size to make room for food. Also, consider the climate. If you plan to camp in Michigan in the fall where cold weather is all but guaranteed, you need a much more insulated pad to protect you from cold ground temps than you do when camping in the Everglades in August. Bonus tip: Don’t camp in the Everglades in August.

明确你的使用场景。每一盎司重量都很重要,打包尺寸也是如此。更小、更轻的睡垫在背包中占用的空间更少,非常适合长距离徒步,因为你需要尽量压缩装备空间来存放食物。此外,还要考虑气候。如果你计划秋季在密歇根州露营,那里几乎肯定会很冷,你需要保暖性更强的睡垫来隔绝地面的寒气,这与八月份在佛罗里达大沼泽地露营的需求完全不同。额外提示:千万别在八月份去大沼泽地露营。

Know thyself. Everyone sleeps differently, and different pads will be better for different people. Are you a side sleeper who sleeps cold? Go for a thicker pad with more insulation. Sleeping every which way and always waking up hot? Get an ultralight pad that’s quiet, so your tossing and turning won’t disturb your tent mates.

了解你自己。每个人的睡眠习惯不同,适合的睡垫也因人而异。你是怕冷的侧卧者吗?那就选择更厚、保暖性更好的睡垫。睡觉姿势多变且总是热醒?那就买一款轻便且静音的超轻睡垫,这样你翻身时就不会吵醒帐篷里的同伴。

Consider your entire sleep system. The pad is the foundation, but how warm you sleep will also be affected by your sleeping bag, pillow, even which base layers you bring. (Many people don’t know this, but sleeping bag temperature ratings assume you’re wearing a base layer.)

考虑你的整套睡眠系统。睡垫是基础,但你的睡眠保暖程度还会受到睡袋、枕头,甚至你携带的内层衣物的影响。(很多人不知道这一点,但睡袋的温标通常是假设你穿着内层衣物的情况下测定的。)

You might need two. Sleeping pads are not a one-size-fits-all solution. A lightweight pad that’s perfect on balmy summer nights isn’t going to cut it at an alpine camp in early spring. It might be tempting to just get the summer pad and bring a heavier sleeping bag in spring, but this does not lead to restful nights. A good sleeping pad means the difference between being warm and getting rest or shivering all night, even in the same sleeping bag. Trust us. We do it so you don’t have to.

你可能需要两个睡垫。睡垫并非万能。在温暖夏夜表现完美的轻量睡垫,在早春的高山营地可能完全不够用。你可能会想只买个夏季睡垫,春天带个更厚的睡袋,但这并不能保证你睡个好觉。一个好的睡垫决定了你是能温暖入睡,还是整晚瑟瑟发抖,即便你用的是同一个睡袋。相信我们,我们已经替你踩过坑了。

Comfort is key. I know I joke about sleeping on tiny closed-cell-foam pads, but there’s no need to anymore. This guide is proof that comfortable sleeping pads exist and weigh next to nothing. Even though I really did sleep on the ground 35 years ago, you couldn’t pay me to do it now. Now I almost always bring two pads: one inflatable and one thin, closed-cell foam. The latter gives me a place to sit in the evening and adds quite a bit of warmth and a no-slip sleeping surface when I need it at night.

舒适是关键。我知道我开玩笑说睡在小小的泡沫垫上,但现在完全没必要那样做了。本指南证明了舒适的睡垫确实存在,而且几乎没有重量。虽然35年前我确实睡在地上,但现在你给我钱我也不干了。现在我几乎总是带两个垫子:一个充气垫和一个薄的闭孔泡沫垫。后者让我在晚上有个坐的地方,还能增加不少保暖性,并在夜间需要时提供一个防滑的睡眠表面。

What Are R-Values?

什么是 R 值?

They’re a long con by the outdoor industry. Or at least they were. Now they’ve been standardized, so, in theory, you can compare brands’ R-values and it will mean something. If you see the acronym ASTM (or ASTM FF3340), it’s using this new system. If you don’t, it’s pretty much made up. Thankfully, REI has been pressuring brands to adopt the new system, so most of the R-value listings you see today use the standardized system.

这曾是户外行业的一个长期骗局。或者至少曾经是。现在它们已经标准化了,所以理论上,你可以对比不同品牌的 R 值,并且这些数值是有意义的。如果你看到 ASTM(或 ASTM FF3340)缩写,说明它采用了这套新系统。如果没有,那数值基本就是编出来的。值得庆幸的是,REI 一直在推动品牌采用新系统,所以今天你看到的大多数 R 值标注都使用了标准化系统。

So what is an R-value, then? A sleeping pad’s R-value is a measure of how much it resists heat flow. (Get it? R for “resists”?) The scale is simple. An R-value of 2 means it resists heat twice as much as a value of 1. So a higher R-value means the pad will better insulate you from the ground. Unlike with sleeping bags, where buying too warm of a bag is going to be bad for summer camping, buying a high R-value pad and using it in warm conditions won’t be a big deal. You’re just carrying more weight than you need to.

那么,R 值到底是什么?睡垫的 R 值是衡量其抵抗热量流失能力的指标。(明白了吗?R 代表“Resists/抵抗”。)这个标准很简单。R 值为 2 意味着它的隔热能力是 R 值为 1 的两倍。因此,R 值越高,睡垫对地面的隔热效果就越好。与睡袋不同(买太暖的睡袋在夏天露营会很难受),买一个高 R 值的睡垫在温暖环境下使用并不会有太大问题,你只是多背了一些不必要的重量而已。

The problem is that this doesn’t tell you much about how warm you will be. Even though an R-value of 4 might be good enough for me to sleep on snow, it might not be good enough for you if you sleep cold. In isolation, R-values tell you very little, even the standardized ones. However, if you have a pad that’s not cutting it and you know it’s an R-2.5, you can look for a pad with R-4 or R-5 and know that it should be warmer.

问题在于,这并不能完全告诉你你会有多暖和。即使 R 值为 4 的睡垫足够让我睡在雪地上,但如果你怕冷,它可能对你来说就不够了。孤立地看,R 值提供的信息非常有限,即使是标准化的数值也是如此。不过,如果你现有的睡垫保暖不够,且你知道它是 R-2.5,那么你可以寻找 R-4 或 R-5 的睡垫,并确信它会更暖和。

Sleeping Pad Tips and Tricks

睡垫使用小贴士

I’ve had very few problems with any inflatable sleeping pad I’ve tested. Some have lost air, but I’ve never had one deflate completely (knock on wood). That said, there are some tricks to getting the best night’s sleep and having a pleasant trip.

在我测试过的所有充气睡垫中,我遇到的问题很少。有些会漏气,但我从未遇到过完全瘪掉的情况(敲敲木头,祈求好运)。话虽如此,这里有一些技巧可以让你睡得更好,让旅途更愉快。

Don’t inflate your pad with your mouth: For one thing, some of these pads are huge, and it’s just a pain, but also your breath is warm and moist and you’re injecting into nylon, which is a recipe for mildew.

不要用嘴给睡垫充气:首先,有些睡垫体积巨大,用嘴吹非常费劲;其次,你的呼吸带有热气和水分,将其吹入尼龙材质的睡垫内部,很容易导致发霉。
