As Alpkit aren't currently in the sleeping mat market, can anyone suggest a similar alternative? I'm not looking for light and small, I need something massive and comfy for car camping. I can only find technical (and very expensive!) stuff.
Thanks!

I use a cheapy North Ridge one from Go Outdoors which seems no less durable than the Thermarest it replaced.

Go outdoors do the North Ridge Alpine Lite
It's Red about 500g and its a steal at £27
In the Sale
They also do an Expedition Mat which is
Dynamite if you want more comfort ideal
for camping I picked up for £19 last year

Thanks for all the ideas.

I have the North Ridge Alpine mate and I can't fault it's performance. Still going strong after about a year and a really warm, comfortable mat.

I've got the "Hi Gear Ultra-Lite 3/4 Self-Inflating Mat" from Go Outdoors, cheap and comfy.
