sleeping mat
Portable sleeping surface
A sleeping mat is a portable pad placed on the ground for sleeping, typically used when camping, backpacking, or in minimalist living arrangements.
Unlike air mattresses, sleeping mats are usually thin foam or inflatable pads designed for insulation and basic cushioning rather than comfort: I rolled up my sleeping mat and strapped it to my pack.
