"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."
"Both Thermarest and Nemo pads work for me, and I suspect many others would as well. ... Regular mummy pads work great for me."

"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)."

"But that Nemo pad was only the 20R rectangular version which was fine but I prefer wider."
I use an astro non-insulated for 50-55+ nights and an older Nemo cosmo insulated for the colder stuff. It's heavy, but I sleep well on it. However I'm no longer enjoying the foot pump in it. A tensor is at the top of my list to replace it whenever I'm ready, but the astro covers most of the stuff I do.
r/CampingGear • Almost there! Narrowed down my sleeping pad search and it's between the Nemo Tensor All season and Sea to Summit Ether light XR. What would you pick? ->Bought the Nemo Cosmo with built-in foot pump about 4 years ago. Insulated, quiet, durable and so comfortable. Highly recommend.
r/canoecamping • Sleeping pad recommendations? ->I had a Nemo inflatable Cosmo Lite pad from 2015 that was leagues better than my old thermarest self inflating foam pad. But that Nemo pad was only the 20R rectangular version which was fine but I prefer wider. This year I upgraded to a 2024 Nemo Tensor Regualr wide 25” pad - only used it in the house a few nights and think it’ll be great. I had a whole excel file going and the Nemo Tensor kept coming back as the sweet spot on price, weight, pack size and R value no matter how I sliced it.
r/Ultralight • Sleeping pad analysis paralysis ->Comfortable, 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.
r/CampingGear • MegaMat Duo Sleeping Mat - Medium, worth the hype? ->Have you considered a camping cot? There are a lot of ultralight options now which are about the same price as a good sleeping pad for side sleepers. The only difference being is the weight, you’re looking at around 1.5kg for a cot bed which would be double the weight of a sleeping pad. For me, the extra weight is worth it for the comfort. For context I’ve tried Therm-a-Rest, Big Agnes and Nemo mats. If I’m going for comfort, the cot bed wins every time.
r/wildcampingintheuk • Best sleeping pads for side sleeping? ->My Nemo pad is more comfortable than my Purple bed 😂
r/WildernessBackpacking • How much better are “nice” sleeping pads? ->Yeah. I don't regret getting a fancy Nemo pad because it's at least light and warm, but I've still never had a good night on one.
r/WildernessBackpacking • How much better are “nice” sleeping pads? ->Nemo - I have the same pad and its great. Very comfortable, light and warm.
r/CampingGear • Almost there! Narrowed down my sleeping pad search and it's between the Nemo Tensor All season and Sea to Summit Ether light XR. What would you pick? ->I’ve had it about a year I think. I had the previous version too the insulated. Both in regular wide. Before these I had an Xlite and a S2S ultralight insulated. The Nemo is more comfortable than either for me.
r/CampingGear • Almost there! Narrowed down my sleeping pad search and it's between the Nemo Tensor All season and Sea to Summit Ether light XR. What would you pick? ->Buy once cry once. Thermarest, Nemo, Sea to Summit. They make the best small, lightweight, comfortable pads.
