Rab says: 

The Hypersphere 9.5 is the result of our 40 years of down mastery combining with the technologies we’ve honed for our lightweight sleep mat collection. This thick, ultra-warm down-filled sleep mat offers unmatched comfort and insulation for when you’re hunkering down at high altitudes or on expeditions to polar regions. With a hardwearing fabric and uncompromisingly comfortable design, it’s rugged, versatile, and adapts easily to remote and challenging environments.

Our Verdict

The Rab Hypersphere 9.5 Long Wide Sleeping Mat is a robust and exceptionally warm option for those venturing into extremely cold, expedition-type environments. Weighing 1151 grams, it offers an industry-leading R-value of 9.5—the highest currently available—delivering unmatched insulation against freezing ground temperatures.

With its extra length and width, this version provides even more room to stretch out, making it ideal for taller users or those who prefer more space. The 10 cm thickness ensures excellent comfort, while oversized outer chambers cradle you in place, preventing unwanted midnight slides. The durable 75D recycled polyester fabric is built to withstand tough terrain, and Rab’s pump sack makes inflation quick and effortless, sparing your lungs after a long day on the trail.

While the Long Wide version adds some extra weight, no other mat on the market currently offers this level of insulation. If you’re heading into extreme conditions and need maximum warmth, comfort, and space, the Hypersphere 9.5 Long Wide is a top contender.
