paytonfrostI'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.
Wandering_HickComparable to Ultra 5R.
AgerakAny 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.
AdeptNebulaExped Ultra is comfortable and ultralight. Pretty affordable, too. Give it a try.
Comfortable-Pop-3463Most 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.
fanshaw63I really like my Exped Ultra. Im a side sleeper and the vertical baffles are good for me - never had any problems with it.
Mission-Calendar-372I 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.
mu5tarastasExped 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.
