NeoAir Topo Luxe

My favorite 3-season pad in terms of comfort is the (discontinued) NeoAir Topo Luxe, wide (25") version. It's 4" thick and way more comfy than any other pad I've tried. 3.7-value, which is okay for most 3-season use. When on snow or frozen ground, I place a closed-cell foam pad on top, which boosts its R-value to 5.5, which is sufficient. In winter, I use an inflatable 3" thick pad with >6.5 R-value, but it's not as comfy as my Topo Luxe. Topo Luxe has been replaced with the NeoLoft pad, which is 4.6" thick, 4.7 R-value and has side rails to keep you centered on the pad. I have not spent a night on one, but I've tried them out, and they may well be even more comfy than my Topo Luxe. Wide (25" or 26") is now a requirement for me. I carried lighter pads when I was younger, but my aging hips and back do much better with a 4" pad vs. a 2.5" or 3" pad.

Neo air topo. Just fab.

I would have said that Thermarest Large LuxuryMap was the most comfortbale (individual) mat, but their valve system sucks! It eats rubber o-rings.

I'm pretty much exactly like you. Tried and DONT LIKE: Therm-a-Rest NeoAir Topo Luxe. It's thick! But the horizontal baffles suck for side sleepers. Sea to Summit Comfort Plus Insulated. Not thick enough. Hip pain. Noisy. The one I want to try next: Therm-a-Rest NeoLoft.

I’m a pro guide and me and most of my colleagues use thermarest neo air r4.2. I used a thermarest 32 degree down quilt but most use down sleeping bags
