"it’ll be half the size of an exped."
"packs small and light"
"My conclusion at the time was that the Roamer was better (inflation/deflation/compressed size/fabric and lifetime warranty)."

"Zero drafts, the mattresses bulge at the sides slightly and effectively seal the gap."
"can be fastened together to make a double bed. You get the benefits of being able to share body heat"
"I prefer using two Nemo Roamer XL singles (or one double if you are dead set on that format) buttoned together for the space savings and flexibility."

"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)."

"I upgraded from an older therm-a-rest to a Nemo, it is thick, warm, and comfy but noisy!"
"It's a little "crinkly" sounding"
It's huge. I prefer using two Nemo Roamer XL singles (or one double if you are dead set on that format) buttoned together for the space savings and flexibility. They really are just as comfortable as the Expeds, high R value, tough, and come with a lifetime warranty. (For backpacking the bright green Expeds are my favorite.) Edit: Just noticed you posted the medium. The one I suggested is much larger. Yours should be great for what you want!
r/CampingGear • MegaMat Duo Sleeping Mat - Medium, worth the hype? ->Ditto this answer. We bought Nemo XL wide roamer pads and use them this way with a queen sheet and it's heavenly. Some of the best sleep we've ever had camping.
r/camping • how do you sleep comfortably as a couple? ->I have a kid and a second on the way and looking for a solution for all 4 of us can use and snuggle into. This weekend I’m trying out two nemo roamer XL pads that interlock, but I am seriously considering returning them and doing two exped mega mats.
r/camping • Couples: what do you sleep on (NO air mattresses, I resent them so much) ->We have 2 Nemo roamer XL pads, they clip together and have a lifetime warranty. Had them a couple years now and super pleased. They roll up pretty small for a self inflating mat too.
r/CampingGear • Sick of air mattresses - what's the best sleeping pad? ->I have the NEMO Roamer Sleeping Pad - XL Wide and it was well worth the money. I am 6'5 so I needed a big pad. It's basicly half the size of a queen bed in width and the same length. It's also very comfortable. It's significantly more comfortable then many hotel beds I have slept in. It's not very small packed up though so it's for car camping
r/camping • What are you getting with a $200+ sleeping pad ->The Nemo Roamer XL sleeping pads are awesome, they have toggles to join multiple mattresses together (three make a king sized mattress). We use ours all the time and they pack down a little smaller than a typical Coleman sleeping bag. Nemo also has a lifetime warranty… Ours are going on 5 years now and have been used dozens of times… Cant recommend them enough… (Having owned both the nemo roamers and a set of megamats, the roamers pack smaller, come with a better storage bag and have an easier system for inflation)
r/camping • Best sleeping pad solution for a family of 4 ->NEMO Roamer Sleeping Pad. I dont know how but this 4” thick air mattress feels like sleeping on a regular bed. It’s hands down the best choice that I’ve found.
r/camping • Couples What do you sleep on? ->The answer is exped megamat or the Nemo roamed. Expensive, but as comfortable as it can get.
r/camping • I am tired of air mattress to sleep on. ->As others have said, an exped megamat duo is probably the best option out there but it's pricey. There's a few from other brands that are a similar design (soft top, filled with foam so labeled as self inflating, etc.). Alternatives would be Nemo Roamer, Sea-To-Summit Comfort Deluxe, REI Camp Dreamer, MEC Reactor. The foam filling and soft top make them way more comfortable than the massive intex matresses or the one you have posted even though they are significantly thinner.
r/CampingGear • Anyone here tried the Kingcamp air mattress? ->The Exped Megamat is insanely comfortable and keeps you REALLY well-insulated (R Value of 8.1, most cold weather pads are R-value of 5). Not to mention it will last decades before it needs to be replaced, and it's backed up by a lifetime warranty. All expensive sleeping pads are. Ive had both ThermaRest and Nemo send me free replacements when my pad developed a leak The Nemo Roamer is similar, as is the Thermarest Mondoking. But what makes me love the Exped Megamat is that the top layer feels like it stretches, sp the pad contours to your body like memory foam, just less thick https://www.outdoorgearlab.com/topics/camping-and-hiking/best-camping-mattress#an-exceptionally-comfortable-mat
r/CampingandHiking • Is an expensive sleeping pad worth it? My pool float beat the cheap ones. ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
