Cloud Base

I’ve used the cloud base a whole bunch and it’s fantastic. Packs decently small, comfy and really quick to blow up/deflate.

I love the cloud. Hate the numo. The cloud is comfortable for most humans it seems as well. Quite a few of my mates of different sizes, weights and sleeping positions get on with the cloud. I’m 6ft 100kg side sleeper and works for me. The numo I don’t get on with at all. BUT I don’t use either in winter. The cloud won’t be great. As others have said a pad with a higher R rating would be better

It depends on when you want to go away. I'm a fan of the cloud. I've currently only used it in a bivi but I found it really comfortable. I don't think I would particularly want to use it in the winter but it has been great for my use which is mostly warmer and nicer conditions. My favourite thing is due to the size and weight I never leave it at home, I previously had a tendency on faster paced one night trips to leave my bigger mats at home

I use a Widesea one from Aliexpress but I'd opt for the Alpkit one if i was to buy again as it's a little bit slimmer so stores nicer on the outside of the pack. Also using a Neoloft which has gone down on me twice now which is a bit worrying. Both times I've had to pump it up in the middle of the night. Have you had any issues with yours?

Your bike's repair kit should be able to repair the pad as well (you do take a tube repair kit even if running tubeless on multi-day trips right???). I've always heard good things about the Alpkit stuff (and from my experience they do really well for a decent price).
