HEST - Foamy

https://www.rei.com/product/203057/hest-foamy-sleeping-pad I've used one on my 30" cot for about a month straight. It's a game changer.

I built my own platform that is half as wide as the one in the pic, and bought a Hest sleeping pad on sale at REI. The pad is super high quality. I’m a side sleeper and it doesn’t bottom out. I car camp for rowing regattas and also with my friends while they sleep in a tent. But, for $995, I’d say get the one you show! But, go with a Hest.

Hest is a foam mattress https://www.rei.com/product/203057/hest-foamy-sleeping-pad?sku=2030570003&store=15&CAWELAID=120217890017762363&CAGPSPN=pla&CAAGID=147758269879&CATCI=pla-2055717823364&cm_mmc=PLA_Google%7C21700000001700551_2030570003%7C2055717823364%7CBA%7C71700000074421743&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD_DTlw7EBcU5gShlwffsipEYK-oh&gclid=Cj0KCQiAz6q-BhCfARIsAOezPxkFDGKEKdPFVkMA4wACSXxcPiXV_Y05qU7Aw_nwif2sZGQw_e9LFrIaAqgLEALw_wcB

Weight/space not a concern? Hest foamy sleeping pad. They're expensive, Tedious to lug around. But I'll be damned if Ive ever had a better night sleep on the ground.

My spouse and I use two hest foamy wides on a Coleman queen cot, replacing the queen air mattress. They fit in the sleeve for the air mattress which helps secure the slight overhang from the frame of the cot. We are adding some thicker yoga mats underneath them to reduce the dip in the middle, but I've never had a better night sleep while car camping, and I've tried them all. I broke my back years ago, and this setup has restored my willingness to camp more often. Win/win.

If you want something fantastic try the hest foamy. It’s pricey but rolls up small and is super comfortable. Check REI garage for cheaper ones

HEST Foamy... and bonus they'll be 25% off at the REI sale next week.

Exped MegaMat 15 LXW or the Hest foamy are the most comfortable by far on the market. They are expensive though. The MegaMat 10 is a bit less expensive but not as thick. You can look at some of the Exped clones though and they are quite comfortable. ALPS Mountaineering Outback Mat Big Agnes Captain Comfort Hikenture semi inflating foam mat King Camp semi inflating foam mattress Lost Horizon AirSoft REI Camp Dreamer (warning, only a 1 year warranty) Sea to Summit Comfort Deluxe Stoic Cloud and Cloud Lux Thermarest MondoKing 3D You can usually find the Exped MegaMat 10 at most REI stores as a return in the ReSupply (Garage Sale) section. They are usually 50% off or so. Just make sure to bring a portable air pump like a FlexTail Gear or Exped air pump to test in the store. Just be careful as there are NO returns and your warranty from Exped might also be denied if they can determine it was a ReSupply purchase. They usually tell if it is a ReSupply purchase because REI likes to take a silver Sharpie and put an X mark on the product. If the X is on the outside stuff sack then your are ok, it they put it on the actual mat you consider the warranty void with Exped. If they put an X on the stuff sack then just don't send the stuff sack into Exped if you ever have a warranty claim.

LOVE my Hest Foamy mat……it’s freaking huge to pack and they’re expensive but totally worth, in my opinion. I sleep fantastic when I use it and have done a couple long trips with it now.

Hest Foamy wide and you can buy two and connect them. They’re expensive and big to store but IT’S SO COMFY.

For a base camp setup, they are hard to beat. I love mine

Can confirm, the Hest Foamy is stellar on a cot.

I dropped the exped for hest

HEST sleeping pad. I find the foam more comfortable than air.

I went with Hest. Not cheap by any means, but I like my sleep and being comfortable and it fits the bill.

I don't know if cots with high R-value, but we typically use a warm pad on top of our cots in the winter and it gets pretty comfy at that point. Exped megamat is both comfy and warm, not on sale but that means you can use your 20% member coupon. If you're not a side sleeper, the REI campwell is also great for the money, it's just a little too thin for me in the winter as my hip gets cold when side sleeping. Hest is great too but packs super bulky so I'm less fond... The REI Kingdom Cot 3 is also super comfy with a warm pad on top, just takes up a big footprint in the tent

Definitely Hest for an every day long term sleeping system. Super comfortable and quick setup. No air to mess with daily.

I think they have a 100 day trial policy.

I had an exped and it was fine. Then I got the Hest. Hest wins for me every time. It’s so comfortable.

Man, this is interesting. I like the HEST because it’s so quick to set up, but find it much less comfortable than an air pad.
