Sea To Summit - Ether Light XT

Ether Light XT Sea To Summit is an inflatable mattress for hot weather, light, compact folded but above all very comfortable.

If your priority is comfort but without adding too much weight, for hiking for example, this mattress is perfect. Comfort is ensured on the one hand by its thickness of 10 cm and on the other hand by its number of "Air Sprung Cells".

The idea is simple, it's about getting as close as possible to a box spring with many springs. For inflatable mattresses, Sea To Summit has created cells that are independent of each other. Their displacements or compressions are therefore also independent. The result is really very good. The mattress adapts perfectly to your back and there is no "wave" effect found on the majority of inflatable mattresses. At Tentes 4 Saisons, we really appreciate its comfort!

R-value : 1.28. The Ether Light XT is said to be 2 seasons, ie you can use it in summer and at the end of spring if it is hot.

The mattress inflates quickly and easily using the "Airstream Pumpsack" that comes with it. You have to connect it to the valve, open it wide and blow into it. No need for many expirations to fill it. Then just roll the bag on itself to fill the mattress. The valve has a check valve, it's simple but very practical. Once inflated, the multifunction valve simply allows you to manage the firmness of the mattress. By opening the first cap and pressing with your finger, you can gently squeeze out air to find your own level of comfort. To deflate it completely and quickly, just open the second cap.

One of the problems with inflatable mattresses is the noise the fabric makes when you move. The Sea to Summit are no exception to this, but the Ether Light XT is clearly one of the quietest according to our own tests.

It is equipped with the "Pillow Lock System". It's a pretty well thought out detail. With the mattress comes 4 Velcro stickers. If you wish, you can stick them on a location drawn at the head. Once this operation is done, you can put the Sea to Summit Eros pillows on it. The advantage is that the pillow will stay on the mattress, it will not fall off while you sleep.
