alicewonders12It’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.
BulldogMama13All 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.
CapableImplement5830Nemo Roamer wide sleeping pad. Camping is so much better with a comfy sleeping pad.
ensoniqthehedgehogIt'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!
giraffessDitto 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.
hanumanCTI 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_SingOnACakeWe 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_Suit5502I 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
Muddydog1996I’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-sandmanI 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.
