It weighs 735g. But this is the large mattress. Dimensions 197cm x 65cm x 7cm. R-Value 5.9.
The size is really great you never feel like you are rolling off it or your back will touch the ground. You can even stretch your legs straight out without them hanging off ( unless you are taller than 197 cm).
One other thing is it comes with this blow up sack. It's not self inflating, but in my opinion much better concept than the self inflating. It also doubles as a brilliant pillow case. You can put your jacket in it and fasten it back on itself thereby creating this excellent pillow.

Just another thing. There are only 2 decent hiking things that I can say that I have bought that I'm really happy with and do not feel they need an upgrade.
This mattress and my garmin oregon 450.

735g for such a large mattress? Sounds too good to be true. I looked up the specs and this is what I came up with:
The SPECS for Medium
•Size: 183 x 52 x 7 cm / 72" x 20" x 2.8"
•Weight: 880 g / 31 oz
•Packed: 23 x 16 cm / 9" x 6"
•Fill Weight: 170 g / 6 oz
The SPECS for Long Wide
•Size: 197 x 65 x 7 cm / 77.5" x 26" x 2.8"
•Weight: 1150 g / 40.6 oz
•Packed: 27 x 14 cm / 11" x 5"
•Fill Weight: 220 g / 7.8 oz

I am sure it's an awesome mattress, especially if its so wide too, just a little heavy for me

Sorry for the late reply
I went to look at the pack again. The weight on the pack is 735g. So I took it and weighed it on a digital scale. The weight on the pack was wrong it was 810g. So it's not 735g or 1150g but it is 810g. The weight is including the packaging that it is in. So without packaging it's probably 800g. But this is for the large mattress

I think I know why there is a weight difference from what I weighed (810g) and that stated on the web site (1150g). When I got my pad in the US about 4 months ago they said that they have changed the inflation mechanism. They use to have a built in hand pump (heavy) in the old one but they have now changed this and are using a bag system (light). They had both inflation mats at the shop (REI). I tried both and found the bag method to be much better.
The bag one is lighter than the hand pump.

That is quite a difference in weight, how is one supposed to figure out which to take if their stats are not correct? Because then the slightly smaller one, the 72" mat(which is the size I would need), should be a lot lighter.....hmmm

I checked the REI website and found that there are mattresses with a pump too, and the ones without the pump are considerably lighter and closer to the weight you are stating! This really seems like the ultimate mat in terms of warmth and comfort! Now to find a sponsor

One other thing: the mattress rolls very small ie the volume it takes up is small.
To make you aware the medium size one rolled into a size similar to a plastic one litre coke bottle. Which is really small.
