"I sleep all night and no body aches."
"I'm a bigger guy (250 pounds) and a side sleeper as I said and the Nemo Tensor is amazing for me. ... It is the most comfortable inflatable mat I've ever slept on. ... We have frequent "yard camping" trips in our bumpy front lawn and I honestly get as good a night's sleep on this as I do on my bed, side sleeping and all. ... As a side sleeper I was searching for the best mat and this is it."
"3.5in thick so very comfy for me as a restless side sleeper with hip problems!"

"I had a Nemo Tensor straight POP with a one-inch tear from a extremely tiny burr on the edge of my quilt pad strap!"
"it popped on me."
"my Nemo Tensor failed 2 days into the JMT. ... I had about 20 previous nights on it. ... It developed a leak in a seam between baffles on the underside. ... The stress and discomfort of dealing with a (relatively) quickly deflating pad every night was not pleasant and I ’m not eager to relive it."

"the crinkling chip bag sound kept them awake all night"

"I still frequently used my Nemo Tensor because it was so space efficient until it let me down in a big way and I spent 3 nights freezing my ass off this April. ... It was too slow of a leak to locate and patch."
"The summer and all season version will help down that low, but are noticeably colder sleeping at those temps."
"I’m a side sleeper and I’ve used it down to 30F and it gets the job done but that’s about its limit. ... If I were going to be in temps consistently that low I’d put foam under it."

"I am a flopper and tended to roll onto the edges, which made them collapse and dumped me onto the ground."
"I find horizontal baffles extremely uncomfortable … it feels as if anything closer to the edge falls down and doesn’t give any support."
"won't accommodate your dog width-wise ... It won't accommodate your dog width-wise"

"i was never able to deflate it to a comfortable point without my butt touching the ground below ... instead i always slept on it "overfilled" which led to lower back pain almost every night."
"it hurts my back and hips so bad."
