Divide / Air Core Ultra Series

Be wary of uninsulated air mattresses in mild temps.  I bought 2x Big Agnes insulated pads for my twins, along with the BA kid’s sleeping bags for our twins. This is more of a backpacking setup, but works great for car camping and living room camping.  The bags have a sleeve on the bottom so you can slide the pad inside. Helps keep them in the bag and on the pad - again - cause the cold ground can give them a chill. 

I’ve got 2 BA pads for my kids but haven’t had any issues with them at all, but they don’t seem anywhere as nice as my Nemo Tensors. A buddy has an BA pad and did get it replaced via warranty.  With that said, my Nemo Tensors have been amazing and one of them lasted over 7 years. Got it replaced very easily with Nemo, too!

Might be an issue specific to the pad or your back. We can be pretty particular when it comes to sleep, and it can take a few tries to really dial it in. I have a big Agnes air core pad. I don't think it's warm enough for winter camping but I've been comfortable laying on my back on it. I do usually side sleep, but I wake up on my back often and sometimes just lay on it to relax at the end of the day.

Big Agnes is the best I’ve found. Pricey but well worth it.

We have the big Agnes for the last two years now and it’s the best pad I’ve ever slept on. Suggestion to get the wide version, that bit of extra width really adds to the comfort, plus the thicker “rails” really help keep you on the pad. Durability seems good as well, we camp with our Australian Shepherd and thy hold up to him pretty well lol. Also grab an air pump off of Amazon, we grabbed one for about $30 that charges via USB C and is much quicker than the pump bag. We just give it a couple firming pumps with the bag and it’s good to go.

Big Agnes pads are some of the toughest out there as far as I can know, yet I have gone through three because of punctures. Each time the holes have been so small that I can't find them without getting to a hotel and submerging them in the tub. The company is great about replacing them, but I've gone back to foam mats.

My Big Agnes Divide works for me, and I'm a side sleeper.

I bought a Nemo Tensor last summer, the non insulated version and it's the least slippery sleeping pad I've used. I wonder if there is a different top layer. The big agnes I used previously was so slippery it was like they did it on purpose.
