"But what makes me love the Exped Megamat is that the top layer feels like it stretches, sp the pad contours to your body like memory foam, just less thick"
"The toggles won stop a weighted foot or knee from dropping in between the mattresses but when sleeping it s not really noticeable."
"thinner and less cushy feeling"

"The other two have a slippery surface that makes the last 1" on each side unusable since you slide off it anyway. ... the slipperiness is annoying for me since it just allows my leg to slide back down/off the pad (this is why I tried and ultimately moved away from the Nemo)."

Comfortable, I have one now. Before I had a Nemo pad I returned and honestly, kind of wish I had kept it. Only downside was it took forever to inflate. Also, these things go on sale/get returned all the time. I’d look for one second hand if possible.
NEMO Roamer Sleeping Pad. I dont know how but this 4” thick air mattress feels like sleeping on a regular bed. It’s hands down the best choice that I’ve found.
The answer is exped megamat or the Nemo roamed. Expensive, but as comfortable as it can get.
It’s all about the mattress. Get a Nemo roamer xl sleeping pad and put a fitted sheet on it, and bring blankets and pillow from home.
Nah an air mattress is not the same sorry. This Nemo roamer and the megamat feels like your on foam, it’s so comfortable.
My Nemo pad is more comfortable than my Purple bed 😂
Nemo all the way!! They are luxury and pack up so small! I’ve been pregnant and camped with them and they are superb!
Assuming you are car camping, go for a self-inflating pad. The ones you have to blow up are for backpacking or they are air mattresses. I don’t use air mattresses for camping. A cot would be the other choice. Do you want two separate pads or one double pad for the two of you? Exped Megamat and Nemo Roamer are thick, insulated self-inflating pads that are top of the line but run around $400 for a double mat. The Roamer has a matching sleeping bag, I think the Megamat does too. Chinese knock-offs from Amazon can be decent.
Tents you can rent from REI and other shops. REI does have some good deals at the moment. -15 degree bag and a insulated pad can make all the difference. I go ice cave camping on Mt Baker every late January. I sleep perfectly fine on my Nemo insulated pad and my -15 degree Marmot sleeping bag.
Up vote for the Nemo. Most used wedding present.
All through the summer I slept on my Nemo roamer XL wide on a cot out on the back porch because it was hot in the house and I like looking at the stars. It really is that comfortable.
Just used the Nemo for the first time last weekend on the AT, slept on my side half the night and it was a night and day difference compared to my old zrest pad. So much more comfy. Held air incredibly, you can blow it up and make it very firm or leave it a little softer. Didn’t leak at all overnight. Wasn’t cold at all either but it was only in the 40s, so not a good test yet on that end. No experience with others listed
