The hybrid design of the Flyer combines the plush comfort of an air mat with the durability of a foam mat. Weight and packsize have been dramatically reduced with new techniques resulting in an impressive sleeping mat.

Nemo says: 

A sleeping pad with a radical hybrid design, our best-selling Flyer™ self-inflating pad is now also our first bluesign® product. Combining the thickness of an air pad with the plush durability of a foam pad, Flyer checks all the boxes with minimal weight consequences.

Designed with a groundbreaking manufacturing approach that removes 60% of the foam, the pad self-inflates to increase thickness and provide ridged baffling for faster recovery after a hard day on the mountain. Each horizontal foam channel is hollowed out to both reduce weight and provide progressive suspension that allows you to comfortably sink in; the baffles are linked by solid foam to evenly support and prevent any bottoming out.

Though its top-performing design hasn’t changed, we updated the materials and accessories in order to achieve the trusted bluesign® product label. The fabric used on the pad’s top, bottom, and stuff sack are now all 100% recycled and bluesign® approved, and Flyer’s production meets the strict social and labor standards required by bluesign®, as well. You can rest easy knowing that this product was produced in a resource-conserving way with a minimum impact on people and the environment.

Our Verdict

Nemo's Flyer Regular Sleeping Mat delivers the best of both worlds with foam and air pads. It is deep and dense enough for side sleeping. The grippy silicone patches on the bottom prevent the pad from slipping and sliding around on your tent floor when you move during the night. There is a slight weight penalty for the addition of the insulating foam but this is made up with this being a much better value and more durable option than air-based models.

The Flyer range does pack down surprisingly small if you are determined enough, but it can and will go back into the provided stuff sack with the help of a Velcro ‘belt’. With an R rating of 3.3 it stacks up well to the Tensor Insulated range which has an R rating of 3.4 making it a viable option for 3 season use.
