I used a Nemo tensor +tyvek through all of the AZT. No punctures. Everything is poky in az. Consider tyvek. It’s the most comfy UL pad I could find as a side sleeper. Otherwise my big Agnes divide is more comfy but heavy.
I need to investigate this. I got a BA Divide last year for a trip. When I tried it at home on the carpeted den floor, I didn't notice a sound. Got in my tent on the trip and laid down and it sounded like I was on a balloon. I may have to carry a light sheet of fabric to put down next time.
Hey peeps, I just tried the BA Divide and I was not super impressed, the air chambers running parallel to my body were kinda bugging my back.
I like a firmer bed (I do understand how pressure works) so I am looking for something which is more flat when fully inflated.
Please let me know what air mattress has worked for y'all.
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
What isn’t comfortable? At home I’m a back sleeper, in the wild my 20” Big Agnes inflatable is a bit narrow so my arms drop to the ground. That means I’ll turn sideways a couple times each night. I also have a Outdoor Vitals long inflatable which is wider at the top although a slight weight and space penalty. The OV also has slightly oversized side rails to help keep centered on top. I still move the same, turns out I don’t sleep quite as well away from home.
We have the same sleeping bag! We use the Big Agnes inflatable, we probably have the same mats but I don’t like them. I sleep really close to my spouse and I end up getting stuck in the little gap between the two mats every time. Part of the problem is that I’m a side sleeper and a creeper, so I just scoot closer and closer to steal heat. I thought a 2 person mat would help keep me from getting stuck in the gap between the mats but I’m open to suggestions.
I know what you mean. Being in the gap seemed like the best way to describe it because it’s kind of hard to explain. It’s more like I’m on the very edge of the mat. My shoulder and hip are on the edge of the mat because we spoons so its 2 people mostly on 1 mat, the other mat kind of pops up a bit because I’m only on the edge of it and throughout the night it gets worse. My spouse doesn’t have any problem with the mats but they never end up in the bad spot. I’m sure a lot of my problem is because I’m a side sleeper. So I was kind of hoping for something with a little more support than the BA double sleeping pad. Unless, have you tried it? Is it more supportive than their regular pads? I thought they were the same.
So sorry for the confusion. When I car camp I sleep on a foam bedroll, when I backpack I sleep on an inflatable pad.
I have a double Big Agnes sleeping bag but I don’t like the sleeping pad set up it has. It’s a 2 person bag and you use 2 sleeping pads. I sleep on my side and I cuddle close to my spouse so and I’m kind of like on the spot where the 2 mats meet. It’s uncomfortable.
I’m comfortable spending a bit of money on a good pad but I don’t want to spent a lot of money on something without a recommendation, if that makes sense. I would like to stay under $500, USD from what I’ve been looking at, the double pads are kind of expensive.
I am a god damn baby and I won’t go if it’s below 30F. It’s too cold.
M/F couple, we’re thin, both 5’10”.
Honestly I can see the appeal to the separate sleep situation and this is the first time I’ve ever slept in the same sleeping bag as someone but the two person bag is warmer.

Car camping comfort champ, but some side sleepers find it thin.
