Main advantages
Used materials
To prevent air leakage through the top fabric of the mattress, an impermeable membrane is laminated to the polyester fabric. Laminating a continuous membrane instead of applying a coating eliminates the possibility of applying an uneven layer of coating, which could lead to the weakening of some parts and subsequent air leakage.
The brushed polyester gives a nice soft feel and prevents bunching.
Detailed Description
When it starts to get cold
We all can certainly calculate that when better thermal insulation is needed, the thickness of the material needs to be increased. The Sherpa 38 is no different.
This reinforcement allows horizontal cavities to be used instead of vertical cavities, which have significantly better thermal resistance than vertical cavities while maintaining very good packability and weight.
Like Sherpa 30 and Nomad, even the Sherpa 38 is equipped with brushed polyester that prevents the sleeping bag from sliding on the mat, so you won't wake up on the cold ground anymore.

Lamination
Foam
The core of every self-inflating mattress is the inner foam. Pinguin mattresses are filled with Polyurethane foam, the open pores of which retain air and thus give it excellent insulating properties. The foam has a very good shape memory, which contributes to its quick inflation and does not sag even after years of frequent use.
