Attention! Due to the production process (needle felting), the mat is not resistant to stretching!
It is not recommended to drag it along the ground (especially with a load) or to sleep on it with metal parts of clothing (they can catch on the surface and stretch it).
You can felt the mat yourself. However, it is expected that the felting process will result in a loss of thickness.
The mat works perfectly as insulation, it is recommended to cover it with fur or a blanket when preparing the bed.
Thanks to its thickness and natural wool properties, this felted mat provides great insulation from the cold ground while keeping you comfy.
It is soft and comfy, helping you to get your well-deserved rest no matter the sleeping conditions.
2 meters long, 90 cm wide and 1,5 cm thick – all of that just screams “good sleep”. When rolled, the mat has a similar diameter to the standard, modern sleeping mat, yet its significantly greater width makes it comfier to sleep on as you can freely move throughout the night without having to worry about rolling out of it.

As the name suggests, the mats are not felt. They are created in a completely different process. Namely needle felting.
The washed and combed sheep fleece is felted by repeated pricking with barbed needles.
In this way, a fairly dense material is created, resembling felt, but less resistant to stretching. Classic felt, on the other hand, is produced wet in the process of felting the fleece.
The biggest difference between our mats and felt mats is weight.
A fleece mat with dimensions of 90×200 and a thickness of 1.5 cm weighs approximately 2.5 kilograms, while a felt mat with the same parameters will weigh approximately 10 kilograms. That’s 4 times more!
The remaining differences include:
- softness (felt is more compact and harder);
- price (for the same thickness of mat, almost 4 times more fleece is needed, the price is also about 4 times higher);
- durability (felt mats, due to their stronger compaction, are more resistant to stretching).
