I have a Hest and I like it a lot.
I love mine. It is not super compact when rolled though. Easy to carry and set up is a snap. I also find rolling it up not very complicated, just need the right technique.
Hest Foamy Wide or Hest Sleep System Wide, they are both 30" wide. If you act quick, REI has them for 20% off right now. The Foamy is not inflatable, it is dual memory foam. The Sleep System is a Foamy connected on top of an inflatable 4" pad, same material as a SUP so it can be inflated to your desired firmness.
I just looked on REI website and it appears the Hest Sleep System is completely sold out right now but was available leading up to the sale. It probably went pretty quick once the sale started on Saturday. They still do have the Hest Foamy Wide available and in stock at stores, at least here in CO. You could give it a try in store on wood carpeted platforms they generally have (at least that is my experience), assuming the store you go to has one. EDIT: Now a different link shows you can still order the Hest Sleep System Wide to be shipped to an REI store or to home [https://www.rei.com/product/203058/hest-sleep-system-sleeping-pad-wide](https://www.rei.com/product/203058/hest-sleep-system-sleeping-pad-wide)
Hest makes the most comfortable IMO but are more $$ and bigger and heavier. Great for car camping
If you’re not backpacking and can accommodate the space to bring it with you, I highly recommend a Hest mattress. It’s the most comfortable mattress/pad I’ve found.
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 sleeping pad. I find the foam more comfortable than air.
Honestly being a heavier guy and having trouble with the self inflating air pads springing leaks and de inflating. I bit the bullet and bought a Hest memory foam sleeping pad from rei re/supply best decision I’ve ever made yes their bulky and expensive but their have a really good r value and are more comfortable then any sleeping pad iv used.
