"As a side sleeper and getting up in age the extra weight and space is more than worth it for me. ... And as a side sleeper it helps my lean frame get extra padding."


"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."


"6'-1" 195lb, roll in my sleep - Nemo Flyer self inflate. ... I went through quite a few before finding this."

"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)."

6'-1" 195lb, roll in my sleep - Nemo Flyer self inflate. Deflate and fold it into thirds, place against your back in the pack 👍 I went through quite a few before finding this.

r/UltralightIs it worth it to invest in an inflatable sleeping pad?
10 months ago

You need to try them out since it’s rather personal. I can’t stand pure air mattresses but I do like closed foam air mattresses. And, when it comes to sleep I’m more than willing to break UL because getting a great night sleep is way better than so-so or crappy sleep. I actually use a ZLite and Nemo Flyer. As a side sleeper and getting up in age the extra weight and space is more than worth it for me.

I dislike all the “only air” pads I’ve tried. I’m happy with my Nemo Flyer which is air with internal foam. It is quiet. I sleep on my side.

r/UltralightSleeping Pad Advice

I don’t know all of those pads so I can’t say this all applies. Anyhow, I’m a side sleeper and on the lean side so I don’t have much body padding. I am also a very light sleeper and even in the comfort of my home I wake usually every 90 minutes; and take a while to fall asleep again. I dislike pads that are air only. I actually use a ZLite and a Nemo Flyer (normal width). The ZLite is good protection for the Flyer; and a convenient sit or layout mat during the day. The Flyer is air with internal open cell foam so it isn’t that void of just air which I dislike. The combined R value is 5.3. It is however 2.25 pounds. I’m often in Ventana Wilderness and the Sierra and that includes high Sierra in the winter sleeping on snow. It’s definitely warm enough insulation for me and comfortable so I get descent sleep.

From my experience only (cuz we all sleep naturally warmer or colder than others), my EE 950 fill 20* keeps me toasty warm at 30* ambient temp with my older Nemo 3.2R pad. I plan to replace my pad with something more like 5R or more and 4” as I’m a side sleeper. I’ve used this quilt on warmer nights and sticking a leg out is a great technique for comfort

r/CampingGearMegaMat Duo Sleeping Mat - Medium, worth the hype?

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.

Up vote for the Nemo. Most used wedding present.

Just 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

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
