Bought it and returned it as it was a real pain. The sides never inflated not even when I tried blowing it up myself. A terrible piece of kit.

I’m amazed no one has made a decent lightweight inflatable mat because the backpacking industry have had this technology for years.
This is what I’m using below.
I part inflate it and fold it in half. I’ve made an elastic strap to hold it folded and I’ve made a nylon cover for it. All together it weighs 800g and packs down very small (25cm x 10cm x 25cm). The mat on its own is 415g.

I'm pretty sure I have a 'Sevylor' inflatable mat in my tackle store. Has anyone owned one in the past?

I've got the Aqua self inflating one, it does have foam in like a sim. Not a large mat Its not bad but doesn't pack down particularly small.
I prefer it to the JRC one i also have.

Cheers Dave, I looked at that earlier but zero details on condition put me off and not even pics of it out the bag.
I could get one new from pecheur.com for around £150

Cheers for them Rich, I had seen both but struggled getting clear info to confirm fully inflatable.
Some more digging shows the Nash as a good option, although both are very expensive. I haven't properly seen the raptor packed down, but suspecting it'll be chunky as it looks like a smaller boat with nice thick material.
A good starting point, if only the Nash wasn't so expensive, i mean, compared to others it has a memory foam filled mat LESS but the price didn't know 
Cheers

This is something I have been looking for, just bought a scope sling mat which is pretty small for its size but not fully inflatable
I was wanting one that is basically just flat so I could roll it up small and keep it in my van. Self inflating ones that I looked at are not that small
If you find anything, please share

I'm currently looking at kids travel beds, 30 quid is cheap enough for testing
Self inflating mats will still have foam in, it's the foam that makes them inflate, or not if it's rubbish foam. This is the same theory as SIMs for bedchairs

I have a korum one that’s self inflating base
It rolls up into around 4”
It’s ages old though
Aqua did do a self inflating mat also in the atom range
Might still be able to find one kicking around
I bought one in the last year or so.
