Going insulated Nemo Quasar 3d extra-wide. Side sleeper who shimmies like it’s a Shakira concert and I’m done with mummy. Yes I backpack. I’ll carry the extra weight for actual sleep. Here’s to nature and sleeping outside! Yay!
I have a Nemo mat. Quasar 3D long wide. I’m 50 years old 200 lbs. been sleeping on it every night for the last 90 days in Baja. Can recommended
The Neoloft is great, but extremely expensive. The Nemo Quasar 3D is practically the same thing but $100 cheaper.
Get a Thermarest Neoloft, or a Nemo Quasar 3D. Both incredibly thick and comfortable and packable.
I'm a big guy and I feel good on a nemo tensor. I also have a nemo quasar 3d but I think they're discontinued? When properly inflated, I am well supported and I'm a side sleeper at 270# I also have a naturehike cot that packs down small enough for motocamping, but so many campsites are built for RV's now and the rocky ground + the cot resulted in holes in the bottom of my tent, even through the footprint. The cot just focuses the pressure onto to small of an area. I got some stick on felt to put on the cot feet, but I haven't tested it if fixed the problem yet.
Self inflating mats IMO suck. Get something you inflate with an inflation sack to your firmness preference and finally get that good night's sleep. My NEMO Quasar 3D is like a hug. I inflate it super firm and just love the swept up sides cradling me at night. https://www.nemoequipment.com/en-ca/collections/car-camping-pads/products/quasar-3d-insulated?variant=41090227798189 That said if you live and camp in a well treed area then a hammock is the ultimate way to go. You have to purchase a whole new setup though so it's an expensive way to change up your sleep if you are coming from tent camping. Also you can't sleep with your partner in a hammock. There are kits that allow you to pair up your hammocks close together but it's quite different from being inside a tent together.
I personally use the Nemo Quasar 3D. Its inflatable but its super comfortable and packs down pretty small! I've had it for about 3 years now and love it!
