Similarly, Nemo Roamer double. Both are great and are super comfortable. Saw the Nemo Roamer double on sale recently too.
REI or Nemo (or exped, but imo either get the REI for less or the Nemo if packed size is important to you). I’m talking about their self inflating foam and air mattress in the two person size. And get a backpacking quilt from feathered friends.
I have been extremely happy with the Nemo Roamer, which looks similar to the MegaMat. https://www.nemoequipment.com/products/roamer
The Roamer has very big vents and is not hard to fully deflate.
I'm assuming you want a self-inflating. I have the Nemo Roamer in the double and love it. There's also the REI Camp Dreamer.
Same, I love my Roamer. They have provisions on the sides to attach two mats together.
Nemo Roamer Double - best I've ever experienced and I work in the outdoor industry.
My wife and I use the competitive product from Nemo called Nemo roamer double.
Im about 250, 6'2. I roll around and sleep on side, front etc. I have a Nemo tensor 25 inch wide for backpacking and Nemo double roamer for wife and I for car camping. I sleep like a boss on both of them. I carry 2 pillows and my quilt is very comfortable.
It's expensive but comfy. They also have a life time warranty. I have had it for about 5 years, no buyers remorse. We camp a lot so it gets a lot of use. If I wasn't camping as much, I would recommend a Coleman inflatable mattress... It is cheap, not as comfy but it does the job. Super compact as well. I had it for years before I upgraded.
I can specifically answer this. So I have tensor 5.4 one. AND the lowest temp I backpacked all season was ~33-34*. Most of the late spring - Fall camping, the lowest temps were ~50 at night. AND dude, this pad is SO warm, I love the pad, so comfy but warm to a point that I can sleep on it in my underwear in 50* and still be warm.. lol I am actually buying a second pad with a lower r value. SO if you think you are sleeping in low temps, buy a pad with high r value. Nemo pads are comfortable as fuck! I sleep like a rock on it. If you are doing mostly summer/early fall backpacking, you can spend a little less money and get a pad with a lower r value.
Assuming you are car camping, go for a self-inflating pad. The ones you have to blow up are for backpacking or they are air mattresses. I don’t use air mattresses for camping. A cot would be the other choice. Do you want two separate pads or one double pad for the two of you? Exped Megamat and Nemo Roamer are thick, insulated self-inflating pads that are top of the line but run around $400 for a double mat. The Roamer has a matching sleeping bag, I think the Megamat does too. Chinese knock-offs from Amazon can be decent.
You can get megamat knockoffs on Amazon for a reasonable price. I like the Nemo Roamer but it’s expensive. I got a great deal on a lightly used one.
