I remember the days, when a good sleeping pad took up half the space in my checked bag, now I can fit one in my cargo pocket. I can't say enough about how much I love this pad, I've had mine for a year now and it's served me well in Norway, Patagonia, Iceland and a recent trip to the Alps. I'm able to fit this and my Nemo sleeping bag in my carry on bag and it maybe only takes up 30% of the bag. It's so comfortable too. I just lay on my side, deflate until my hip touches the ground and then add in a couple more puffs of air and I sleep like a baby. It's only more comfortable than most beds in your average hotel and I don't risk getting bed bugs. Over the past year, I've traveled for around 2 months and slept 95% of the time out of my car with this pad and likely saved over 10k in hotel costs and slept wonderfully.

Comfortable, keeps you off the ground, long enough (but in only 5'6"), but NOT wide enough. I invariably fall off one side or the other.

Comfortable and easy to inflate. Well worth the purchase

The mattress itself is very nice. Used on the famous RAGBRAI bicycle adventure in Iowa and slept well. The accompanying filler bag was useless. Popped on the second, literally, second bag full of air. Bring an electric or pedal pump.

My wife and I love this sleeping pad so far! It is fairly nice and compact, and we have taken it on a number of camping trips ranging from the Rocky Mountains to Great Sand Dunes with good results. We did wind up putting a couple of foam pads under it for the Rocky Mountains since the night was going to get down into relatively cold temperatures (mid 30s, F). We did wind up getting a small hole in it (likely due to a cactus from Great Sand Dunes), and that was a bit of a pain to track down, but we were able to patch it and the pad is back to good as new now. The vortex air bag it comes with is great at filling it, and it normally only takes me 8 or 9 breathes to get it fully inflated. The top of the pad gives a bit of extra loft which helps keep your head up, and also makes it a little harder for a pillow to slide off (I haven't had to worry about strapping my pillow to the pad yet). It is nice that it is a doable pad for longer treks without having to strap multiple single-person pads together.

Wow we have come a long way from foam sleeping pads for those who want comfort and need to carry light. This is a great sleeping pad. I'm not light, but it holds me well and I don't bottom out. I love the options for size and insulation. Went with the wide non-insulated. Im bike touring Nova Scotia and so far it's been a great choice. A few things I'd like: more curvature on the sides for us side sleepers. There's some but more would be better. And to be very fussy, I'd like to chose what side to inflate it from.

Worth the money if you want a good nights rest while backpacking, its worth the money and weight especially when your hiking in tandem.

It's extremely comfortable, and while it lasts, it keeps its inflation for weeks. However, like the previous double pad we got from Nemo, this one acquired a slow leak after about 18 months (and maybe 50 nights sleeping on it). The Vortex inflation bag is a terrible idea. It's very difficult to inflate past 80% desired firmness without popping the valve off (the valve literally pops out, still attached to the inflation bag). Do not recommend.

This thing is so much more comfortable than linking 2 pads together while backpacking with your partner. We've had it for 2 years now and it has held up against my large dog, and sometimes are young kids too. It is very well built and durable. It's warm enough for full on winter and alpine camping. This packs down pretty well, but I certainly do not think it is saving any space over bringing 2 single pads. I do not use it car camping though, because a fully size comfort pad is always going to be more comfortable.

We are not stragers to camping. We sweep a tent site for sharp objects like rocks and pine cones. We use a tent footprint outside and tent mat inside. Yet, our Nemo got a hole on the very first night. Disappointing.
