MEC - VectAir UL 4S Insulated Sleeping Pad

My partner and I just got back from a two week camping trip (frontcountry, no backpacking this time). We got a 10cm thick pad from MEC (we are in Canada) and a Klymit double sleeping bag. It was AWESOME. I slept like a baby every night and it didn’t feel too crowded (unless my 60lb shepherd decided to jump on us…but that’s another story lol).

I have the vectair too and it's nice. My first sleeping pad so I have nothing to compare to but I will say, when it's inflated well, I can't sleep with my arm under the pillow as I usually do because my arm will go numb. Not sure if it's this sleeping mat or all of them that are like that. Also I'm a fair bit shorter than the dude above but I also got the long and wide and it's nice to be able to spread out on it.

I'm assuming we are talking car camping? For years my wife and I used a double air mattress from Walmart with no problems. If you really don't want an air mattress I would ask, do you need to share a bed when camping? Why not two air pads or two cots? For air pads, I love my MEC Vectair insulated wide and long. They go on sale every once in a while.

i have a MEC vectair (MEC is like the canadian REI) and they also have the bigger side baffles. it helps, but i’m a rotisserie chicken when i sleep and i also do the fire hydrant dog leg thing when im on my tummy so it just never fully works out

The MEC VectAir is pretty good value. Not the lightest but good enough for backpacking if you’re looking for a less expensive option.
