HEST - Sleep System

HEST Sleep System or Dually by a country mile

Hest Sleep System in wide. Best sleep ever!

I had to return my Hest. Got a sleep system (with the inflatable base), and tried it on my bedroom floor without inflating the base (really wanted the smaller form factor of the foamy). Woke up in tears unable to move or get up in the morning. With the base half inflated it was comfortable - but it was just soooo big and took way too much room when not in use. Had to return it.

No - it was the “[heat sleep system](https://hest.com/products/hest-sleep-system)” that has the foam mattress on top, and it zips onto what’s basically a rectangle shaped SUP underneath. You inflate the base to add some structure and stability on uneven ground. It was honestly a nice system - you could inflate that base til it was hard (like a SUP) and use it as a table, or maybe even as a bench across a ditch lol. Inflating it only half, til it was still spongy, added the extra cushion I needed to keep my pressure points off the ground. But it was just big. Imagine an inflatable sup along with the foam mattress rolled up inside of a bag, AND a big SUP pump in there with it. Just too big to store, unless underneath your bed is empty and you could let it live under there unrolled.

Hest makes the most comfortable IMO but are more $$ and bigger and heavier. Great for car camping

If we car camp we use hest sleeping pads, they’re pricey but I’d say they’re just as comfortable as our bed at home. We place them side by side and put a blanket over top to cover the gap. They also hook together as well. In the backcountry we sleep separately because our inflatable sleeping pads move around too much, plus we like different firmness

Hest is the goat

Hest. They aren't cheap - they take up space, but man are they comfortable. You can throw two together and it's literally like sleeping in your bed at home. I bought one of their comforters as well and is that thing nice. Never a fan of sleeping bags but their comforter did the trick.

They're not small - we have two - but are they comfortable. Also don't have to worry about them deflating. It take about a minute to roll it up. We manage to fit two in our Crosstrek Wilderness with all our camp gear, stacked.

My wife just upgraded us to a Hest and it was positively luxurious! One caveat, It does take up a lot of space, especially when compared to even the thickest of the self inflating mats. We had been using two Therm-A-rest Luxury Map 3s, tucked together in a fitted sheet, which was serviceable, but just okay. The Hest, on the other hand, was about as good a night of sleep as I get these days. Zero complaints on the sleeping experience whatsoever; Cloud-like.

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

Hest mattress is most comfortable thing I have ever slept on

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.
