Do yall think these would keep a sleeper warm enough in the winter?

Yes why not and it is inexpensive however it may not be over comfortable in comparison to say a "prolite 4" but at half the price why not give it a go

Well, for the price of prolites- it's either the blow-up or the closed-cell foam blue mattress, which I think is actually colder/harder than the ground.....

Thanks Corvus!

I've got one of these, and I doubt it will be warm enough for winter by itself. I've been putting a piece of blue closed cell foam (which I like to have to sit on anyway) on top of the blow up matress, and it works a treat. Would probably work just as well underneath.

I have one of the old thermarests, and the blow up matches it for comfort.

I've got one as well. It was plenty warm enough in snow in WOJ in Dec/Jan. Similar idea to woka, I had a very thin layer of foam (bought from a hardware store), but did put it underneath for extra insulation. I don't know what the temperature was, but I assume since it was snowing (and felt cold outside) it must have been reasonably low. I think it is designated 3 season but up here should be OK for winter; Tassie winters dunno. Definitely much warmer than my Exped Simlight 2.5 though (standard type, not the downmat) and three times as comfortable. Hitting the ground when you roll over on a thinner mat doesn't do it for me. Also quite cheap, I think I paid about $63 including 15% discount.

thanks guys!

Ya can't take it with ya! Bite the bullet an get an Exped downmat 7 and you'll never look for anything better. Costly but fantastic.

I have and use the previous version, very similar. It is comfortable/warm down to about 5c for me and just doable down to 0 but at that you will need a warmer sleeping bag than if you were using the Exped 7 .
Several US hikers use that or a similar Big Agnes version with a thin CCF mat. Most suggest to use the thinner mat on top.
A fuller inflation will insulate better but to me feels less comfortable so I compromise between the two.
