"Never had a blister, no support issues and most of the time I forget to cinch the laces right at the trail head and I don't even notice. ... Incredibly comfortable, right out of the box."
"Foot-shaped toe box ... super roomy ... Great for comfort and natural splay"
"Love my S to S pad also. ... Rivals my Select Comfort bed at home. ... Bought a back up in case they go out of business."

"We upgraded to Sea to Summit because they fold up so small for backpacking"
"I like its softball size. ... It is super easy carry or put on a small desk while working"
"the size of a softball ... I just like the size. It makes it easy to pack and move around."

"super comfortable ... back never aches like it did with Walmart/Costco air mattresses"
"The most comfortable backpacking pad I've found is the sea to summit light because it has a lot of small baffles instead of long continuous tubes like most pads. That makes it a lot more supportive."
"For me the S2S works where others don’t work. ... I find horizontal baffles extremely uncomfortable … it feels as if anything closer to the edge falls down and doesn’t give any support. So for me the S2S works for longer trips and for shorter I use a short version of the Nemo Tensor."

"The De'Longhi Pinguino was WAY quieter than the Honeywell I tried ... If you're a light sleeper, the extra money for a quieter unit is worth every penny."
"Noise is acceptable to me even for sleeping, but it’s not silent."
"Die 81 ist etwas leiser."

"I hate the baffle design of my Therm A Rest Neo Air XLite and have to use it at a fairly low pressure for comfort. Which makes the insulation way worse than its R-value would suggest."
"I've only slept on it for one night with a Thinlight underneath, where it got down to 35F and I felt the cold under the pad for sure but it was fine. ... I would *never* use it without a Thinlight. ... not anywhere near as warm."

"It’s 100% not ultralight ... Yeah it’s heavy."
"a tiny bit on the heavy side ... Not for those looking to shave weight"
"It is heavy and bulkier than the Tensor All Season"

"I havepunctured 2 thermarests on rocks pr thorns. ... I won’t be using them again."
"I do not believe in blow up mats because a pinhole means you wake up two hours later lying on the ground cold as fuck wishing you had bought something else, then spending an hour trying to find a way to warm up when you’ve already fucked that chance."
"Sea to Summit ultralight pad had nothing but punctures (or material defects) for me over the years."

"The fan that circulates the air is so ridiculous it sounds like an airplane is idling inside my house, and it literally changes the air pressure in my kitchen and hurts my ears"
"The biggest issue is the noise it makes, I move a lot from side to back and vice versa during the night. The noise sounds like balloons rubbing against each other. I've tried wrapping it in a blanket, which helps a bit but still makes a lot of noice."
"Very very loud"

"My new fucking Sea to Summit Ultralite decided holding air is not its thing despite very careful handling and making sure it wasn't left inflated during the day."
"Constantly leaks"
Im a side sleeper. I have the XLite. Often feels like the baffles lack structure at the sides so in the mornings I'm fidgeting around feeling like im rolling off the mat. Not used a Tensor although I have heard it offers much better support for side sleepers. Also, the Xlite suffers from mould spots on what seems the outside. For comfort though, from all the mats ive laid on, sea to summit are the most comfortable
r/Ultralight • Tensor all season vs Xlite Nxt? ->When I did Baker I brought a closed cell pad (Nemo switch back) and an inflatable (Sea to summit) for comfort and redundancy. You'll be hard pressed to find a new bag that's also lightweight for $200. You'll probably need to see if you can find something used or I would recommend you see if you can rent one.
r/Mountaineering • Recommendations for Sleeping Pad & Sleeping Bag ->Ended up getting a couple sea to summit mats on sale for $60.
r/CampingGear • Exped vs Lost Horizon sleeping mats ->Big Agnes and sea to summit checks all your boxes. Small/compact, uses vertical baffles to prevent that bouncy castle feeling and provide actual support
r/camping • Sleeping mat choice ->Rapide sl is peak. My favorite pad. Ive got a sea so summit pad that i love too but can't remember the name of it. It has like a 7 or 8 r value tho.
r/Ultralight • Question- sleeping pads ->I personally think Sea to Summit pads are comfortable. Nemo Tensor might interest you as well.
r/hiking • Most comfortable sleeping pad? ->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? ->Try to go double for yourself if you have the room. Self inflating mat is the way for transport and comfort. Thermarest are great . Not sure if they do double. I had a sea to summit double. Also v good
r/glastonbury_festival • Sleeping mats ->I have sea to summits, big agnes, and nemos for the fam. It all depends on the person.
r/CampingGear • Any strong reason to choose one over the others? ->Most don't last very long if you're using them more than 30 nights a year in my experience. These manufacturers are banking on most buyers using them less than that. For super avid backpackers and thru-hikers, obviously we use them way more and therefore need to replace them more frequently. I've always bought them from REI and get them replaced under their policy within the year. Or if it's little seam weld pinholes, take advantage of the warranty (I use Sea 2 Summit pads mostly). But yeah I think the companies just absorb the loss from heavy users, who are a minority of total sales they make globally. Most people just buy a pad to go camping once or twice a year and it just sits in their closet for years before it gets the same amount of camp time as we'd put it through halfway into a thru-hike. Not sure if that made sense - still pre-caffeine today edit: getting holes from pokey things is a given despite the best careful babying if you're out enough, especially in the desert. but i'm not really talking about those kind of holes (that can be patched) - i mean the phantom leaks that can't be identified or fixed easily, like seam welds, valve stuff, etc. (especially on quilted/dimpled baffles) whenever i've returned a pad it's got several patches on it - i keep the solider well bandaged until he can't fight any more
r/Ultralight • My sleeping pads never seem to last more than a few months ->All my sea to summit pads have developed stress pinholes in the dimple welds, nothing to do with anything I could have done or prevented as a user, it's a common defect with that style of baffle.
r/Ultralight • My sleeping pads never seem to last more than a few months ->Good for you for taking care of all your gear. I also take good care of my gear and get many miles out of it. Your response sounds quite lecture-y and finger waggy tbh, making the assumption that others don't take good care of their gear. All my sea to summit pads have developed stress pinholes in the dimple welds, nothing to do with anything I could have done or prevented as a user, it's a common defect with that style of baffle. Manufacture defects on pads are quite common and have nothing to do with user care. No matter how much you baby your sleeping pad, if it has a weak valve attachment, it's gonna develop a leak.
