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 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.
