I have a Big Agnes Captain Comfort and it’s amazing! You can order the size that best fits your sleeping platform. For two people sleeping in the summer, I’d bring a blanket for each of you so turning over in the night doesn’t let cold drafts in to chill the other person, and a larger blanket to go over both of you to keep in extra heat if you have a chilly night or two.

I have a Big Agnes Captain Comfort and it just so happens they come in a size that fits perfectly in my Yaris!

Exped MegaMat 15 or one of its clones (Sea To Summit Comfort Deluxe, Big Agnes Captain Comfort, Nemo Roamer 3D, ALPS Outback Mat etc). Well worth the money. You will want to get an air pump for this. For the Exped mats the Megapump is totally worth it.

I have a giant Big Agnes 30x76 pad, but I almost think it’s a bit big to pack for motocamping, but it’s comfy. I just got a Featherstone quilt and like it, and they have a nice pad for around a hundred bucks that punches well above its weight. I think I’d look at that if I was getting into things

63 yr old M with bony hips. Just a few years ago I could honestly sleep all night on a 1" foam, but something changed when I hit 60. I tried various 4 inch inflatables. Best comfort I have found is Sea to Summit etherlite. Few extra ounces weight penalty but worth it, good sleep is everything. Also slept great on a fat Big Agnes but had bad luck 2 different outings with slow leaks. Actually slept best with a hammock rig, still use it occasionally - but the hammock, skeeter net, tarp, under quilt, and not having a tent to hang out in during poor weather kinda gets old.

Every Big Agnes pad I bought have had 2 recurring issues: they are cold in the temps they advertise as suitable and they leak after a year.

I bought a Nemo Tensor last summer, the non insulated version and it's the least slippery sleeping pad I've used. I wonder if there is a different top layer. The big agnes I used previously was so slippery it was like they did it on purpose.
