Ultra Series

Have the same and love it. Most comfortable pad I’ve owned

I got one years ago to try as a couples mat and it was way too small for us, but felt like a very nice one person mat. Great option if you really want to sprawl out in luxury and not have a car camping heavy mattress. 

I’d get the 3R and supplement with a CCF pad for the occasional sub freezing trips. That’s my personal setup.

Exped Ultra is comfortable and ultralight. Pretty affordable, too. Give it a try. 

I second this. Love my exped 3R and 5R. The UL 5R is ~$160 and sleeps better than thicker pads I've used

Ahh ok then yea low or no R-value would be fine in those cases. Klymit also makes a good lightweight low R-value pad, it's what I used in Texas and worked quite well in warmer weather. Not as heavy or thick as the one you linked, but much lighter and packs down smaller. Great if you're backpacking but there are better options if car camping imo. Exped Ultra 1R is also a good pad, the more insulated 3 and 5 are also popular for colder temps. I've used the Dura versions which are a heavier/more insulated version and it was comfortable. I've also heard good things about Nemo Tensor but have no experience with it.

That bag will not hold up, it’s a rectangular and won’t seal well and temps are below what it’s rated for. Even with layers and extra blankets it’ll be an uncomfortable at best night. The pads are also borderline and I’d recommend a couple more Rs to get to a better insulation value. You can either upgrade one of the pads (maybe a 5R Exped) or add another pad to your setup. I don’t like stacking too many pads as they tend to slide and you lose insulation. Tie wrapping them together can help.

Exped Dura is solid as a rock and makes some very warm options at 5R and 8R. It is a bit heavier but also a much thicker denier of fabric. The Ultra series is a lighter version with thinner, more standard denier of material.

Exped is good, several models depending on what kind of camping. For reference I’m 6’ 330lbs. MegaMat/DeepSleep used for car camping. Dura used for backpacking. You may also be able to use furniture foam which would be cheaper and can be cut to different sizes.

You should go to REI if you can and try out different pads. I had a very hard time sleeping on the neoair, the horizontal baffles killed my shoulders (Im a side sleeper). I recently got an exped 5r mummy which is still under a lb depending on size. I love it. Its so comfortable, it feels sturdy, doesnt slide around. I sleep better than I ever got on the trail I love it. I think its a nice balance between very light & obscenely heavy (like the neoloft).

Agree 100%. I actually got the 5r because I was waking up every 20 min with pain in my arm from my thermarest. Figured out the side baffles were killing me. The exped is so nice I sleep so much better now.

If you liked the Dura why not get the 5r? I just got one, the mummy version which saves a few ounces, to replace my thermarest and I love it.

I have the 5r and love it. Exped rules.

I used to use a thin closed cell foam, but upgrade to a 3” R5 pad: wide mummy, but it’s only 19oz and $50 cheaper than what you are looking at. Exped Ultra https://www.rei.com/product/222897/exped-ultra-5r-mummy-sleeping-pad Exped Ultra 5R Mummy Sleeping Pad | REI Co-op It’s a bit crinkly if you toss and turn, but it’s thick enough that as a side sleeper my hips are fine. Very warm, and wide for me too. 19oz. 1/2 lb lighter than what you were looking at.

I have the dura 6r, and ultra 5 mummy which hasn’t been used yet, the dura pad seems insanely durable although the ultra seems like it will be fine for durability also, seems like they are known for reliable sleeping pads so easy to reccomend
