Just want to chime in here in case anyone still views this, the Exped ultra series (6.5R, 8R, etc.)has the same issue that the Eclipse has. There is a large gap at the sidewalls, I just snapped a photo with a flashlight behind but cant attach here. It does go partly into the outer baffle at least, but there is a few inches of no insulation around all sides
I own both.
The Ultra is a thicker version of the Exped Ultra 5.
Exped has a new series of Ultra pads like the Ultra 6, 8 and 10. This now has reflective insulation and standard insulation, is lighter than the older mats and warmer.
I'll add another vote for Exped. I've got a Megamat Duo I take for car camping or no portage canoe trips with my wife. Exped 8R for hike-in winter camping too. I also recently got the single size Hikenture 4" foam + air mattress and it seems to be quite similar in terms of comfort but for only $100.
For backpacking or longer portage trips where weight is a concern, I also really like my Thermarest NeoLoft pad.
