I looked at the Exped but went with the REI version to save a few bucks. Camp Dreamer XL. I have used it a couple of times and it is very comfortable. Much better than the air mattress I used to use since those always seem to leak. And this 4" foam mattress rolls up to less than twice the size of an air mattress.
I plan on using it for guests as well. https://www.rei.com/product/147924/r...ing-deluxe-bed |

+1. We recently upgraded to a Megamat and Megamat duo (since our 6yo sleeps in the tent with us). It’s been a huge upgrade and much more comfortable than our previous setup which was basically our backpacking mata. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

thanks guys. between the great reviews, a little more economical price and the bulletproof return policy, i just went ahead and got the REI model.
the width is the key for me, and this should be a meaningful tent upgrade. the actual cushiony comfort is OK on even the crappy ground pads, but i move around a lot in my sleep and i hate having to roll over and balance on what seems like a ledge. cheers.

Free roadside pickup : float foam mattress
I am giving this a try on my road trips coming weeks before I plunk down the money for an exped. I will spread it out in the back of my van...

I just wanted to add that if anyone winds up getting an Exped pad, this is a worthy addition: https://www.rei.com/product/829645/e...nozzel-pumpbag
Maybe things are better now, but mine is an older version and comes with a tiny inflation device. The schnozzel bag makes pumping the mattress up way quicker and easier. |

Reminds me of Ensolite (sp?), the miracle technology of an earlier age. Half length, about 5/8 of an inch thick. Slept on snow. Put some of your gear under your legs and feet to keep them warm. I'm not so sure I could do that today.

https://www.amazon.com/SLEEPLACE-04T...1637705&sr=8-8 Simmons roll up pad was nice as well, but not as comfortable as a 4”. https://www.amazon.com/Simmons-Beaut...ns+roll&sr=8-3 Trust me, air mattresses are fine if you need the space, but like fat bike tires, air pressure needs to be set exactly right and always be prepped for the mysterious air leak at 2am. |
