"I had one of the first neo airs and I used on extended trips and for work. ... I also let my dogs walk all over it. ... I used it on rocks and twigs. ... It took like 10 years to get a hole."
"The neoair is one of the highest rated inflatable pad on the pct survey, it wouldn't be the case if they were constantly popping."
"I think I only made one repair."

"The Thermarest NeoAir is indeed lighter. ... At just 12 ounces the semi-mummy arguably the best quality sleeping pad in this range and weight."
"given it's thickness and size it packs down really small."
"Super small packed up."

"if they fail (which out of all the matt's ive had over the years are the most reliable) the customer service is second to none, you will get a replacement."

Accurate-Yak-219 1.0thermarest neoair topo luxe. 30 inches wide! You just need a tent wide enough for it.
bummer69a 1.0Anything from Thermarest would be my recommendation. I've got the Neo Air Luxe and it's fantastic. But whatever brand/mat you go with, I'd 100% recommend you get the wide version, such a better sleep.
craigcraig420 1.0I’m your size. Thermarest Topo Lux XL.
darth-noxious 1.0I love my Thermarest neo topo air xl, but have recently picked up a KilosGear Aerocloud elite and it might be my new backpacking mat. More comfortable for side sleeping than even my thermarest.
DIY14410 1.0By "better," do you mean more comfortable? If so, check out Thermarest NeoLoft regular wide or large, depending on your height. 4.6" thick, 4.7 R-value. I have the NeoAir Topo Luxe (4" loft), which it replaced and which is by far the most comfortable backpacking pad I've ever used.
Follow your instincts. You will not find a pad (which qualifies as a backpacking pad) more comfortable than NeoLoft. The closest is the discontinued NeoAir Topo Luxe, which NeoLoft replaced. Pro tip: Buy the NeoAir Micro Pump
MagicColourBRIGHT 1.0Have used a Therm-A-Rest Neoair Topo Luxe Balsam Large since 2022. 3.7R value, 4" "tall" so you can let out some air to get comfortable. Sleep on the side and stomach mostly. When really cold I'll pack a Therm-a-Rest Z-lite Sol which is 5.7R value combined. 680 grams ish (1.5lb), compact and easy to deflate. To inflated it I just being a Aerogogo GIGA Pump 4.0, which is awesome
marieke333 1.0Thermarest Topo Luxe XL. My partner has one for bike holidays, first pad ever that he sleeps comfortable on as it offers a large and stable platform. I find the feel comparable to the neoair models.
Intesresting, in the EU still widely available and on the EU Thermarest site.
That sounds logic! Maybe they bring out a 30" version later...would definitely buy one as a birthday present for my hubby who doesn't care about weight. Tried it in the shop and that thing is so damn comfortable.
Only-Assumption-3794 1.0Gonflé bien ferme, présente t-il un problème ?! Je suis de fort gabarit ! J'ai un Néoair Topo Luxe que j'adore ! J'ai aussi un Xtherm 😉 !
Je suis en amour avec mon TOPO ! Est-ce que tu la essayer ?!
Own-Nefariousness-79 1.0Neo air topo. Just fab.
Pyroteryx 1.0Lots of options if you're okay losing the self-inflating aspect. Thermarest Neoloft or Topo Luxe are two that immediately come to mind. Big Agnes Rapide SL is 3.75"
