"It has an R value of 4.0 which has kept me warm all year round in temps down to about -5."
"how it kept us warm down to an exact 35 degree night."
"It has a 4 R value so it insulates well."

"fits in a sleeve for their sleeping bags (also Big Agnes) so they don’t roll onto the ground."
"This one has vertical baffles that I think work better for me, especially as a very active sleeper to keep me centered."
"The vertical baffles seem to do a good job of preventing ... rolling off."

"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 also did not have a puncture in it for over 6 months, even while bike packing through Baja, Mexico which is notorious for cacti punctures."

"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."
"The bundled pump sack is crap though, it just leaves in one of my gear bins and I use a Flextail pump."

"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."
"Big Agnes pads are some of the toughest out there as far as I can know, yet I have gone through three because of punctures. ... Each time the holes have been so small that I can't find them without getting to a hotel and submerging them in the tub."
CAElite 1.0I have a Big Agnes Divide insulated pad. Was about $80-90 when I got it on sale. Comes in various sizes including 25x72” It’s about 3-4” thick when inflated. Probably the comfiest pad I’ve slept on.
The LLM does seem to have a problem with some negatives. Theres a comment regarding the Big Agnes Divide where the posters says they'll "never buy from another manufacturer" after having a positive warranty experience, counted as a negative towards BA.
Haha, thought I'd browse through the BA Divide as it's one I know I've recommended myself on this sub, think your comment is a couple down from one of my own. u/heyyyjoo I think the sites great, do you think you could implement a reporting tool for false positives/negatives?
Cavalleria-rusticana 1.0This is the biggest drawback I had with the equivalent burnt orange Big Agnes Air Core Insulated, but BA replaced it at no cost within a week ^((although now it's the Divide Insulated Pad in a quite awful yellow and slightly lower r-Value...))
DependentFriend8 1.0The "Big Agnes divide insulated" model is/was my favorite sleeping pad ever. I have never slept so good before in my whole life outdoors. I also did not have a puncture in it for over 6 months, even while bike packing through Baja, Mexico which is notorious for cacti punctures. It fills up to a pretty big size, and is incredibly comfortable. Look into it! If I was in the USA right now, I'd buy it right away. My previous one was stolen from me in a storage unit burglary, unfortunately.
G00dSh0tJans0n 1.0For "comfort" backpacking I use a Big Agnes Divide Insulated wide pad. 25" wide. Sleeps so good being a side/stomach sleeper. 30oz weight
imacbo 1.0My favorite pad ever and most comfortable to me is the Big Agnes Divide Insulated. Not crazy expensive and meets the R-Value you’re after
knight-under-stars 1.0They have explicitly said in their original post that their original mats are too heavy for wild camping. Offering up a 2kg mat is merely trading one unsuitable option for another. There is a reason Exped themselves market this as a "base camp mat". My suggestion would be to get a closed cell mat for the dog and something like the Big Agnes Divide Insulated (~800g) for the people. I have one of these and am a side sleeper and they are very comfortable. I'm far from the smallest of people either and it has stood up to my weight (laying and sitting) for over two years so can attest to its durability. And on top of all this, it is £75 cheaper than the Megamat.
I use a Big Agnes Divide Insulated mat. It has an R value of 4.0 which has kept me warm all year round in temps down to about -5. Packs up pretty small and is a doddle to get back in its bag. The bundled pump sack is crap though, it just leaves in one of my gear bins and I use a Flextail pump.
I use a Big Agnes Divide insulated mat in wide. It is really comfy, very durable and best of all ridiculously bright yellow.
Welcome 41 year old father of 4, I'm 44 year old father of 4 😁 The right pad will depend on a number of factors such as what position you sleep in, how cold it is, how thick you want a pad etc. I'm a side sleeper and use a Big Agnes Divide XL insulated pad. It took me a few nights to acclimatise to and I had to learn how firm I like it but now I sleep great on it. The other thing that helps is being bloody knackered when you go to sleep. Believe me at the end of the day on trail you will sleep like your batteries have been removed...it is *glorious*.
raiderjesse661 1.0Gf and I currently use a Big Agnes Sleepy Bear 35 which is a double wide sleeping bag and for our pad we use the Big Agnes Divide Insulated double wide pad. We love this combo for how comfortable it is and how it kept us warm down to an exact 35 degree night. Definitely recommend the sleeping pad. The bag is also great but discontinued. I see the current equivalent is the Dream Island which seems to be an improved version.
runslowgethungry 1.03-4 pounds is very heavy for a backpacking pad and you will probably regret it, IMO. Even 2 pounds is a fair bit. I think the Divide is the best option of those, personally. They're a pretty good value. See if you can get it on sale - they don't go on sale too often, but watch around the May long weekend as there are often price breaks for the big brands then.
Whatkindofbirdareu 1.0Big agnes double, I use a 2 person tent and it fits perfectly. https://www.rei.com/product/216101/big-agnes-divide-insulated-sleeping-pad
Any_Cicada2210 0.8We have the big Agnes for the last two years now and it’s the best pad I’ve ever slept on. Suggestion to get the wide version, that bit of extra width really adds to the comfort, plus the thicker “rails” really help keep you on the pad. Durability seems good as well, we camp with our Australian Shepherd and thy hold up to him pretty well lol. Also grab an air pump off of Amazon, we grabbed one for about $30 that charges via USB C and is much quicker than the pump bag. We just give it a couple firming pumps with the bag and it’s good to go.
