Big Agnes says:
Master your sleep setup with our warmest and most luxurious four-season air chamber pad - the Campmeister Deluxe. On top, an ultra-comfortable and super-quiet quilted stretch top provides a cushioned, pillow-soft sleeping surface for maximum sleep-ins, and inside an incredible Insulation R-Value of 7 is ready for even the coldest backcountry winter nights. You'll sleep soundly season after season as the burly 70D recycled nylon fabric and aviation-grade TPU lamination work together to keep leaks at bay. Perfect for when you're not willing to compromise between lightweight, warm, durable, and packable, the Campmeister Deluxe Insulated is the ultimate in backcountry comfort!
Our Verdict
At 976g, the Campmeister Deluxe isn’t built for fast-and-light missions, but the weight is entirely reasonable for its warmth, width, and comfort. It’s an excellent choice for winter use, but also works well year-round if you’re prioritising comfort. If you're looking to cut weight while still keeping some plushness, the Big Agnes Rapide SL Insulated might be a better fit.
The Campmeister’s stretch fabric top has a soft, almost velvety feel, and the 11cm outer thickness means you’re well off the ground even on uneven pitches. The R-value of 7 is impressive; the heat-reflective layer paired with PrimaLoft insulation does a good job of insulating you from the ground.
Inflation and micro-adjustment via the dual valve system is intuitive, and the mat comes with an improved Big Agnes feather-weight pump sack.

ASTM R-Value:
From 2020, there is a new industry standard for measuring the R-value (level of insulation) of sleeping mats – ASTM F3340-18. This new standard is the sleeping mat equivalent to the EN rating for sleeping bags.
You can now directly compare the R-value of mats rated using the ASTM F3340-18 with confidence that is a fair and accurate comparison between mats. In simple terms, the higher the R-value, the warmer the mat.
In general terms, an R-value below 2.0 is for summer use, 2.0 to 4.0 is for cooler 3 season use and 4.0+ is for winter temperatures. This will be also be dependent on your sleeping bag, how cold you sleep etc. Please contact our customer service team if you need advice on choosing the right mat for your activity.
