Exped - Ultra 6.5R

I'm personally pretty excited for the Exped Ultea 6.5 mummy. It's 12oz and warm, finally a replacement for the xlite women's (rip) that I loved so much.

Comparable to Ultra 5R.

Any Exped Med-Wide pads fit the bill. Incredibly comfy to boot. They are more expensive but a good nights sleep it worth it imo. Best investment I made for camping. I got my Deep Sleep for just over $100 on sale.

Exped is good, several models depending on what kind of camping. For reference I’m 6’ 330lbs. MegaMat/DeepSleep used for car camping. Dura used for backpacking. You may also be able to use furniture foam which would be cheaper and can be cut to different sizes.

Exped Ultra is comfortable and ultralight. Pretty affordable, too. Give it a try. 

Most 20D pads seems to be "too fragile". Only exception seems to be the exped ultra somehow. But it's really hard to have a good picture on pads reliability.

I really like my Exped Ultra. Im a side sleeper and the vertical baffles are good for me - never had any problems with it.

I had an Exped Ultra for many years, which was pretty comfortable, but wasn't a big fan of the vertical baffles. When it finally failed, Exped replaced it with a duo Ultra. Good customer service. Since then I've had the Thermarest nxt and a ZenBivy which I didn't find comfortable. I bought the Nemo Tensor Extreme last week from Backcountry for 20% off. I haven't really had it out, but I highly recommend it. Six foot, 200# side sleeper. I don't have to keep it rock hard.

Exped Ultra works for me and I sleep very well. I’m also a side sleeper and move a lot, but a wider bag, my exped pad and Nemo Fillo pillow have been amazing. I noticed I need some space in the sleeping bag and support for my head.

+1 on Exped ultra. This was way more comfy for me than the XTherm or the S2S

Honestly the Exped mats are considered some of the comfiest ones available, so while it *may* be the case that you're an outlier that the mat doesn't suit, I'd consider other options first before immediately going out and buying a different mat and potentially wasting money. I have an Exped Ultra and. Thermarest Xtherm and the Exped is way more comfortable. When you first start wild camping sleeping can be hard. No matter what you get, you're going to be less comfy than at home, but you can make some cheap changes to improve the comfort with any mat. To start with, if you haven't already, but a folding Z mat to go under your inflatable mat. It'll add extra cushioning and insulation and levels out some of the bumps and unevenness in the ground. Second, a good pillow can be just as important as a good sleeping mat for comfort. I *really* don't get on with any of the inflatable pillows I've tried, so I bought a toddler pillow case (they're about half the size of a normal one) and stuff it with my fleece and down jacket, and it's miles better than the inflatables that I've tried.
