Comfortable & Dependable

Rating:*****

I use this sleeping pad for backpacking and motorcycle camping. I also recently started using it inside my travel trailer. It makes the RV bed a little more comfortable. The 1.5" thickness seems to be just right. I've tried a 1", and it was just too thin. Anything thicker would be too heavy and take up too much space. I'm 5'4", and the length is just right for me. It does a good job insulating me from the cold ground and provides enough cushion and support for me to sleep on my side. It's been comfortable and dependable during the two years I've been using it.

Awesome pad!

Rating:*****
I took this pad backpacking in the White Mountains on a chilly, wet weekend and it performed admirably. Although it's pricey (my boyfriend jokingly refers to it as the Rolls-Royce of sleeping pads), it was worth it to be comfortable. I have back issues and I'm used to sleeping on memory foam, so this pad high standards to meet and it did. It actually self-inflated pretty quickly, too. If you get its stuff sack, like I did, it packs up nice and small.
