Ok product. Don’t spend any more though. I’ve had the yellow ow for a while now and it’s adequate but the bonded ridge construction is kinda gimmicky imo. Doesn’t seem to matter that much with sleeping bag and with a quilt is kinda pointless. Also slide on top more than I thought I would Warmth is also mid. Built quality in mine is fine it’s really just the design imo.

I've used this inflatable mattress for ~10 years. https://klymit.com.au/products/insulated-static-v-sleeping-pad-1 They are good for side sleeping. Like all inflatables they can puncture, so a good tent footprint can help.  They pack up small and don't weigh much. They also aren't noisy when you roll around on them

OP, if you buy a sleeping pad make sure it is insulated and/or has a higher r-value. The cheapest entry level pads have lower r values and are not great for cold weather. But you don’t have to break the bank. My pad was $50 when I bought it years ago. Looks like it’s $80 now on Amazon. Klymit insulated static v inflatable.

I’ve got a regular and an insulated Klymit. Love them both and have used both for over 10 years. My thermal works just fine for me - even used it with a hammock rather than an underquilt.

Look at the Klymit Insulated Static V. I switched to it from a more expensive (and noisy!) Thermarest pad and have spent lots of August nights in the sierra with no problems. It’s a bit heavier but durable and you may find refurbished ones that are cheap.

That's a good pad. I have one. Although I heard that they had some... ahem... Issues... With their R ratings. If it's really cold I layer it with a Nemo switchback. That setup paired with two sleeping bags (and a fair amount of clothing) kept me warm enough (though not exactly comfortable) in temperatures at least -15 F.
