Comfort Light Self-Inflating Sleeping Mat

I have a Sea to Summit comfort light plus (think that's the one). Great. Light. Recommend.

Sea to Summit and is a great pad. Light and insulating and a bit tougher than the Klymit pads that I have.

If you haven't tried self-inflating pads you should give them a shot. I hate sleeping on air mattresses or inflatable sleeping pads, and self-inflating feel much more like a real mattress. It's a combination of foam/air, also helps if you don't inflate it all the way. Sea to summit has a whole line including the comfort and comfort light which I've used and I think are great. I've also used a cheaper REI branded one and ALPS mountaineering version and found them just as good.(Only difference being the cut which shaves weight instead of just a rectangle.) They are heavier than what everyone seems to want to go for, but they have better insulation properties than inflatable and in case of a puncture will still have some comfort.

Hi, Request for shared experiences and opinions, especially regarding comfort and reliability/durability between Therm-a-Rest Neoloft (regular wide), Neoair Topo Luxe (30 wide), and Trail Pro Max (regular wide). I travel with my wife, mostly by motorcycle, but occasionally also on short backpacking and bikebacking trips. Currently, we both use Sea-To-Summit Comfort Light (non-insulated), and we want something that provides insulation and maximum comfort, within a weight and volume compatible with our use. After much research, the Neoloft seems to be the new gold standard in terms of comfort and weight/volume. The Neoair Topo Luxe is tempting due to its 4-inch thickness and the high discounts it currently offers. The Trail Pro Max has excellent reviews in terms of comfort and durability, and is available at more affordable prices, but its volume could be a problem. The idea is to use both connected with a sheet or something similar and use a quilt or sleeping bag for two people. We didn't consider double sleeping pads because there are few options and they seem excessively expensive. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

Hi 1Screw2Few, Thanks for your opinion. When you mention that the "NeoLoft" is much more comfortable, is that due to the type of exterior material, noise? Considering that the difference in thickness isn't very significant. We started with a self-inflating mattress that was 1 inch thick, then moved on to the current Sea-to-Summit mattresses that are 2 inches thick and 20 inches wide, but we never slept comfortably. So now, if we invest, it has to be something comfortable that gives us a good night's sleep. Weight, particularly for motorcycle touring, isn't the most important factor, volume should be limited, but above all, comfort for both is paramount.

It's a Qomotop, but I don't see them for sale anymore. Really, just look for any self-inflating pad, then look at reviews. The valve on mine looks like this one, which is a Forest Dawn on Amazon. Sea to Summit seems to have some good prices now. Mine is 4 inches thick. https://preview.redd.it/4yybdcuyugef1.jpeg?width=829&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=543cb29673b12eb77528047244ced74433ba6de5

I just bought a used Sea to Summit of Poshmark for $25. Had a small leak that was easy to fix. Just set it up in the house and seems really comfortable. Packs up small

I used a Therm-a-rest in 1994 and, more than 30 years later, I don't see any reason to choose something else. I stopped using those for backpacking trips in favor of ultralight inflatable sleeping pads (which you DO NOT inflate with an electronic pump) because they are so much lighter, but for something like drum corps where you are using it every day and you aren't carrying it in a pack up a mountain, it's Therm-a-rest (or similar self-inflating pad from many other brands, e.g. Sea to Summit) all the way. They are more comfortable than a close-cell foam pad, still lightweight, relatively durable, and you won't have to be screwing around with a pump when you just want to be sleeping after a 3 AM bus arrival.

We use fold up carton type mats as our base. Then in our tent we have Sea to Summit self-inflating bed rolls. Our kids have the same base and use Therm-o-rest self-inflating ground mats. We find as long as we stay on the self-inflating mats, we’re pretty comfortable. The ther-o-rests are almost 20 years old and still in great shape. We upgraded to Sea to Summit because they fold up so small for backpacking
