"The measure of comfort for me is 4” of inflation. Below that and my hips hit the ground. ... Currently rocking a NEMO which is heavy (17 oz) but has been awesome."
"But it's 3" tall. I'm 6'2" around 210-220 lbs and can side sleep on it."
"Both Thermarest and Nemo pads work for me, and I suspect many others would as well. ... Regular mummy pads work great for me."

"I upgraded from an older therm-a-rest to a Nemo, it is thick, warm, and comfy but noisy!"

"The other two have a slippery surface that makes the last 1" on each side unusable since you slide off it anyway. ... the slipperiness is annoying for me since it just allows my leg to slide back down/off the pad (this is why I tried and ultimately moved away from the Nemo)."

a_lake_nearby 1.0I'm a big fan of the Nemo Astro. Customer service is also amazing. I had a popped rib after about 7 years of owning an early model, and the replaced it no questions asked. There's an insulated version as well. But it's 3" tall. I'm 6'2" around 210-220 lbs and can side sleep on it. https://www.nemoequipment.com/products/astro-lightweight-non-insulated-sleeping-pad-series
msnide14 0.4I cut a Nemo astrolite pad in half and gave my girl her own WM megalite quilt to sleep on. She’s ten years old, and I just can’t make her sleep on a thin foam pad in her golden years.
nshire 0.4Nemo tensor. I went with the alpine long wide.
StateYourCurse 0.4Dump the nemo Astro out of the running: Its R value is listed at only 2.6 and it's 1lb 11 oz. The others are warmer and lighter. Plus it's a 20" wide pad. I don't know why, after all these years, we don't have a 23" option - more comfy than a 20", which tbh sucks but lighter than a 25". But I digress. We don't. It's either 20" or. 25". 25" is a way nicer nights sleep and Some of the pricier pads you've chosen here come in at this size for a very similar weight and significantly more warmth. And since all of these options are in your price range, according to you, then I'd say dump the nemo Astro. By comparison, the other Nemo pad, the extreme conditions, is an 8.5 r value and the Long and Wide size Is only 1 lb 10 oz. That's WAY warmer and more comfortable. It may suffer from a little less durability. Rab is a REALLY solid brand. I would categorically buy anything they made, and I have a lot of Rab gear. So if you are ok with a 20" pad, then this might really hit a sweet spot for you if price is an issue. I would forever and always buy a 5.5 R rating pad over a 2.6. The Thermarest has a very, very good 7+ R rating while also being very light for a long wide mat at 1lb 8 oz. Kinda seems like the winner to me. Again, the question is durability and how you will use it. If you expect to be at altitude or in cold weather or shoulder season, you'll want at least a 5 R value. Fyi Exped pads are really super too. I rock an older down filled Exped mat that's been good to me for a very long time now. R rating of 7+ - Have taken that into 20 degree temps on Mt Rainier for winter camping etc.
Longjumping-Cow4488 0.0Exped and Nemo both have thick pads and they aren’t crinkly like Thermarest. :)
0dteSPYFDs 0.0Comfortable, I have one now. Before I had a Nemo pad I returned and honestly, kind of wish I had kept it. Only downside was it took forever to inflate. Also, these things go on sale/get returned all the time. I’d look for one second hand if possible.
ATrendyName 0.0My Nemo pad is more comfortable than my Purple bed 😂
Beautiful-Process-81 0.0Nemo all the way!! They are luxury and pack up so small! I’ve been pregnant and camped with them and they are superb!
Bliezz 0.0Up vote for the Nemo. Most used wedding present.
Bustin_Chiffarobe 0.0Just used the Nemo for the first time last weekend on the AT, slept on my side half the night and it was a night and day difference compared to my old zrest pad. So much more comfy. Held air incredibly, you can blow it up and make it very firm or leave it a little softer. Didn’t leak at all overnight. Wasn’t cold at all either but it was only in the 40s, so not a good test yet on that end. No experience with others listed
