sleeping mat?

[Ian Afloat]

Hello,
Doing the CF in July/August. Is a sleeping mat going to be advisable or just a bulky paperweight? I realize that there might not be a consensus, bit I'm guessing this place has a good concentration who have actually done it rather than passing off something they read on the interweb as hard earned experience.

Lol, wrong, the consensus here in the past has been always - no need sleeping mat! And I agree. Buen Camino! SY

I second that. You do not need a sleeping mat unless camping.

Ultreya,
Joe

Yes, what I meant to convey was that here is where I would expect more of a consensus than looking at other sources on t'internet.

Thank you for your responses, I shall dismiss a sleeping mat from m things on the edge of the edge of th things to take list.

Consensus and correctness are two different things, unless, perhaps, you have complete faith in the wisdom of crowds!!

Nonetheless, I agree with the two previous posts, a mat is unnecessary extra weight.

The one discarded item I see more of in the free boxes than any other item are sleeping mats.
And the pilgrims start discarding them in Roncesvalles.
Leave it at home.
