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

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.

I definitely notice a CONSIDERABLE difference when I sleep on my pad. I can have all the blankets in the world and be cold but I add the pad and suddenly I'm toasty warm

Probably depends a lot on the ground temp too. 40 degree air temp at night but warm days might do ok. Early spring and 40 degree nights would probably fare worse

Yeah, these are too uncomfortable for me to sleep on with my back problems, but as far as durability, I have one of these for my 85 pound dog and it’s held up just fine even with his nails
