Roamer Series

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.

My Nemo was the first time I actually slept comfortably while backpacking

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.

You can get megamat knockoffs on Amazon for a reasonable price. I like the Nemo Roamer but it’s expensive. I got a great deal on a lightly used one.

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.
