"my Mom said it was the most comfortable pad she's ever slept on and the only one where she hasn't woken up with some sort of back pain or tightness."
"I'm a side sleeper and have found the double Exped pads to be the most comfortable pads I've ever used."
"I tried several pads (foam and inflatable) as a side sleeper and the Expeds are AMAZING. ... I actually get good nights sleep on trail with them"

"and warm (much much warmer than I would ever need if I didn't plan on going down below 5°c!)"
"I would snag that 5R in a heartbeat. ... Out this way, the extra grams are def worth the extra insultation."
"its heat transfer resistance is amazing"

"Way way more durable with the 170D bottom fabric face. ... Way better to use with dogs. ... If your aim is best durability and smallest pack size the Exped Dura is probably the best one to get."
"I have the Exped Dura, I was going to get the Ultra but I'm a bigger guy and wanted the extra durability, I like it a lot so far ... I wanted a durable pad since I'm a bigger guy and the Dura is made with a stronger material"
"if you are like me and like to use it as a chair/couch in far from ideal conditions to, get dura or versa."

"Love my Exped 5R ... Nemo Tensor (love it unless I’m camping with my partner in which case the crinkling chip bag sound kept them awake all night) and finally tried the Exped and now I don’t use anything else!"
"Exped has wide pads that are very quiet."

"it's quite heavy at over 20oz for the 72x20 model."
"That's certainly heavier than the Thermarest"
"They're not quite as light ... the Medium-Wide is about 23 oz."

"Personally I was not able to sleep comfortably on the Exped MegaMat Lite, or its siblings (Dura/Versa/Ultra). ... A through-line in my testing of these is the vertical baffling: I regularly wake up and find my arm is numb. ... But in my adulthood I've probably maximum only got about two hours of sleep at a time on a design like these."

"Unless you are only ever going to use it at +10c or warmer, go 5R"
"Going forward I will use my exped 5r coupled with a ccf, mammut bamse extreme, on top at those temps."
"I’ve used the 5 down to 5C but also had an extra foam pad under and a wool blanket down under that as a “carpet” and since R is cumulative it was probably closer to 7-8 total. ... The 5 may have been sufficient in colder with extra layers possibly, hard to say for sure."

"I have yet to find any down side to Exped other than they’re a bit on the costly side."

"it's also the thickest which I don't really like."
"But it's a _little_ bit chunkier and heavier than I might like if I wasn't in need of the warmth."
