"man I'd rather sleep on that then my real bed some days."

"I had a Big Agnes for a decade. ... It sprung a leak on a trip this time last year. ... I found the leak on a seam and called to ask about repairing it. ... They asked for a pic, which I sent as well as a pic of the valve cut off (per their instructions) and my new pad arrived in a few days. No charge. ... I’ll never buy a pad from a different manufacturer again."
"Bought my Big Agnes pad for $100 at REI ten years ago and still going strong. ... Not a single leak."
"I’ve had it for 8 years, which feels kinda unreal for an inflable. ... Never had an issue with it and definitely put it through the gauntlet- camped in the desert a lot, cowboy camped, camped on rocky areas. ... Never had a leak. ... Love it and feel like it’s worth the price tag"

"They are so much quieter than other inflatables."

"I like that the sides are higher on the BA pads, which keep you from rolling off the mat. ... It's not that they are super high to physically prevent you from rolling off. It's the subconcious thing that when you feel that extra height, your brain does it, even when asleep."
"Because the lost dog attaches to the pad it keeps me from falling off the pad."
"fits in a sleeve for their sleeping bags (also Big Agnes) so they don’t roll onto the ground."

"It has a 4 R value so it insulates well."
"Being cold from below was not a a problem."
"An R-value of 4.0 (Big Agnes Divide pad) should be enough for temps down to 5C. If you add a clothing base layer it should even be ok down to 0C."

"their pads are a disaster. Lots of leaking from those weird dimples they have."
"Big Agnes has valve issues ... mine didn't even last 3 uses"
"After two months on the road it is now failing almost every night. ... I’ve exhausted the patches that came with the pad and it’s now covered with third party gear repair patches. ... I paid good money for this thing and it is absolutely not worth it."

"it is the loudest pad I’ve yet used. ... the BA pad was so awful."
"I'd say it's at the very least quieter than my Big Agnes that I used most recently."

"Big Agnes has valve issues ... mine didn't even last 3 uses"
"The one I have has a terrible valve that seems to be designed to be as inconvenient as possible. ... You have to blow into it, but there's a bit of resistance to air coming in, and the valve is such that it's hard to tell if it's open or closed. ... I'm attaching a piece of an old bicycle inner tube to make it possible to use a bike pump."
"PITA to fill up every night"

"Big Agnes pads, I have 3, tend to sleep cold so I discount their R values."
"the R value is a little exaggerated"
"But alas not as warm"

"BA and Exped are the only two brands I've liked, unfortunately, the comfortable ones are NOT UL."
