All 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.

Nemo Roamer wide sleeping pad. Camping is so much better with a comfy sleeping pad.

Nemo Roamer XL Wide.  I’m about the same size as you. It may actually be better than my bed at home. Downside is carrying it, it fills a 40 liter bag.  If you can find the space its amazing.

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!

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.

Can back up this assertion as a side sleeper well over 200 lbs. Nemo Roamer XL Wides are our pads of choice for sheer comfort but if space or width is a concern, the Quasar is the only sleeping pad I have left after donating the rest to local scout troops. The quasar with a Zenbivy core sheet is lovely.
