Paragon Sports

The Big Agnes Air Core regular/mummy has an I-beam construction technique that is functionally superior to the typical welded-through construction of other air mats. Die cut holes in each I-beam allow air to flow freely between chambers as you move around for constant support and comfort. A full length 2.5" thick pad that is lightweight and packs small.

Features:

  • Air Core pads are not self-inflating
  • All REM Air Core Pads come with a stuff sack, repair kit, and a 100% guarantee
  • Durable 70 denier nylon fabric top and bottom protects against abrasions and punctures
  • Durable, water repellent (DWR) coating sheds water and stains
  • Exclusive: Non-breakable, EZ-Flate brass valve for easy closure
  • I-beam construction makes inflation quick and easy
  • Internal polyurethane (PU) coating makes pad waterproof
  • Non breakable brass valve seals tight due to its fine threading
  • Packs down to a compact 4" x 8" or 4.5" x 8" size

good pad

Rating:****
comfortable pad, takes a while to inflate, but its worth it because you're well above rocky surfaces for them to affect your comfort by the time this thing is full. I slip around on it quite often but i'm a very spastic sleeper. I found it's more comfortable if not inflated the whole way, and this also helps to keep you from moving around on the pad. One con-moisture gets in the pad while inflating, but you can hang it out and let the moisture evaporate.

Better Than a Motel Bed

Rating:****
This is by far the most comfortable pad I've ever used. It will require additional insulation to stay warm in cooler temps; but even using a blue/grey closed cell pad, it's as light or lighter than any 'Big Name' brand self-inflator. That's the only reason I "dinged" it one star.

I slept better on this pad on my last 25 day self-supported trip, than I did in on motel room bed going and coming back.

The best sleeping pad out there

Rating:*****
This pad will give you a great nights rest. It's fairly easily to inflate. It's thick and provides lots of cushion. I like it fully inflated, feels like sleeping on an Aerobed. It stows very small and is light for the size and amount of comfort it provides. When sleeping, the pad will slip on a slick tent floor but there wasn't a problem with me slipping off the pad.

Works great

Rating:****
This air pad is great and is fairly easy to inflate by mouth, but I found it impossible to find an attachment that inflates this pad using an air pump. Is very comfortable though...

No sheep counting to sleep on this pad!

Rating:****
This pad was my bed for two weeks of camping in various terrains. Slept very well after long, hard days, and it fit easily in my bike panniers.

Not a bad pad

Rating:***
I loved my rectangular Big Agnes pad so much I bought this mummy style one for myself so my wife could use the rectangular one. After a couple years of use of the rectangular pad, I noticed that by morning I was sleeping on a decidedly deflated pad. I tried finding the leak, and eventually determined that it was leaking a tiny bit from, well, everywhere. I think that the fabric had just stopped working to hold the air in. So far, the new mummy one has not had the same problem, and I'm hoping it stays that way.

The mattress is comfortable, but always seemed a bit hard to inflate. Now that I have a P.O.E. Therma 6 pad to compare it to, my suspicions were correct and the Big Agnes is harder to inflate, even though they are both the same size mummy style pads.

Still a good pad, and I have no major complaints. I said I wouldn't recommend it to a friend merely because I like my P.O.E. pad better and would recommend it instead.
