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.

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.

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

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.

Nemo all the way!! They are luxury and pack up so small! I’ve been pregnant and camped with them and they are superb!

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
