The great thing about having so much cushioning is that you can lie on it, let a little bit of air out and then seal up the valves. It straddles that thin line between a lightweight sleeping mat for wild camping and a thicker SIM for campsite use very effectively. Finally, it’s worth bearing in mind that you can add R-Values, so sleeping on two sleeping pads will maintain your heat better than one.The wide design makes it one for side-sleepers but at 119cm in length, it’s suitable for shorter sleepers more than tall.

You simply half-flip the inner part of the valve until the mattress is inflated and then flip it back and lock the cap – simples!

The Shangri-La is exceptionally easy to inflate and deflate, and this is one of its major strengths.which is pretty decent for cold weather camping, but not quite on a par with the Outwell Dreamcatcher.
