"Zero drafts, the mattresses bulge at the sides slightly and effectively seal the gap."
"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."
"can be fastened together to make a double bed. You get the benefits of being able to share body heat"

"Plus lifetime warranty vs. 5ish years for the Exped."
"Now that Nemo has finally fixed the massive leaking problems they had on the 2022 and earlier pads I can recommend them."

"Best night's sleep I've ever had camping was on a borrowed Nemo Roamer."
"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."
"The Nemo is more comfortable than either for me."

"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"

"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)."
alicewonders12 1.0The answer is exped megamat or the Nemo roamed. Expensive, but as comfortable as it can get.
It’s all about the mattress. Get a Nemo roamer xl sleeping pad and put a fitted sheet on it, and bring blankets and pillow from home.
Nah an air mattress is not the same sorry. This Nemo roamer and the megamat feels like your on foam, it’s so comfortable.
BulldogMama13 1.0All through the summer I slept on my Nemo roamer XL wide on a cot out on the back porch because it was hot in the house and I like looking at the stars. It really is that comfortable.
CapableImplement5830 1.0Nemo Roamer wide sleeping pad. Camping is so much better with a comfy sleeping pad.
ensoniqthehedgehog 1.0It'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!
giraffess 1.0Ditto 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.
hanumanCT 1.0I 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.
I_SingOnACake 1.0We 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.
Less_Suit5502 1.0I have a NEMO Roamer XL, extra wide that I am very happy with. I am 6'5 220 lbs and it's very comfortable for me. It's not a budget pad, but I camp a lot with scouts so it was worth the purchase for me
Muddydog1996 1.0I’m too am a big guy and slept on my Exped Megamat LXW last night. It’s very comfortable when I get the air pressure right. But, it’s pretty large for backpacking. The Nemo Roamer XL goes on sale frequently and packs smaller. If you must go with a matt, I’d go that route. That said, my 6-8yos like having their own space in a tent while I hang nearby in a hammock. Between my snoring and stumbling over them to take care of business in the middle of the night they were glad to see me go.
tactile-sandman 1.0I have a nemo roamer XL and I recommend it for sure. Slept on it for 6 weeks while working out of town. It's about as good as you're gonna get.
