Double Z

100%!!! Don’t over inflate. And the Big Agnes Double Z is amazing. That’s what I use. It’s so worth the extra weight.

Big Agnes has been great here (most comfortable I have ever used). Though I have their old double version.

Really? I get the best sleep of my life when backpacking and sleeping on my inflatable sleeping pad I bought like a decade ago. It’s the Big Agnes Double Z, they don’t make it anymore but it feels like sleeping on an air mattress because it’s so big and fluffy. The key I’ve found is getting the right inflation level, which is much less than I initially thought I would want.

Dang maybe I really lucked out with my initial pick. My Big Agnes pad is the only inflatable one I’ve owned since switching from a cheap roll-up foam pad. I’m seeing a lot of the same positive stuff about their pads in this thread.

We 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.

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.

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. The company is great about replacing them, but I've gone back to foam mats.

I try to save weight everywhere so that I can "afford" a heavy inflatable pad. I've got a Big Agnes something or other. Its heavy, but my hips dont touch amd the numbness issue is much better than before. I value sleep over an extra pound in my pack.
