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.

It was very comfortable, but better slightly under-inflated. There are horizontal ridges that are kind of prominent, so I could feel them a little too much til I let out a little air. It’s bulkier than my current backpacking pad but surprisingly compact for how comfy it is. The fabric is not crinkly/noisy, either.

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

I have the Nemo self inflating and it does great but I also feel like some brands still need A LOT of additional air even after. Some more than others. I bought one of these last summer cause we go through a lot and I was tired of spending a ton. I honestly love it lol built in pillow and pump.

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.

My Nemo pad is more comfortable than my Purple bed 😂
