Foamy

Am I the only one who thinks the exped is completely over rated? When I saw it for the first time I was stoked, and used it in my tent, but it’s an air mattress. Super springy, and not very comportable. For the the hest foamy is the closest thing to an actual comfortable camp mattress, and I’m surprised exped and the rest don’t have anything comparable. I’ve got the 3.0 DLX coming and I’m curious if the higher tier mattress will compare. I may end up returning the hest if so. But if it’s really just another air mattress I probably won’t be impressed.

I have the foamy. I am a big fan! I think the strengths of the exped come down to packable/storable size, whereas the foamy’s strengths are durability and comfort

HEST Foamy is so comfy I feel like I'm back home in my Tempurpedic

I am 57 and sleep on a HEST foamy camping mattress and HEST medium camp pillow. Both are more comfortable than what I sleep on at home! REI has them you can roll out and test, and they go on sale regularly.

90 nights per year, here. 2 years ago I had to replace my Exped Mega Mat that I'd used for 4 years camping in a RTT and truck bed. It required lots of repairs. I bought a pair of Hest Foamy mats and have used them for over 100 nights so far. They look brand new and it turns out the Hest pillow is awesome as well! So, I'm an Exped Mega Mat contrarian.

I've had both. I've used them in 2 iKamper RTTs and in a Taxa Tigermoth trailer. When I first got the Exped I was blown away with the comfort (I'm heavy and a side sleeper) and I sang its praises far and wide. After a few years they developed air leaks and I repaired them. Apparently I did a sloppy job, so I had to repair the repairs. I finally gave up and got a deal on a pair of Hest Foamys 2 years ago. They're completely different "technology" and designs. To me, the Hest material is much more "hole resistant". We've used the Hest mattresses for over a year now, probably 90 nights, and the Hest is a no-brainer for my abusive use case!
