I bought this hoping that I wouldn't need an air mattress, but the thickness of this pad is not near enough needed for me. It was almost as if it wasn't there. The next day I used an air filled pad underneath it and it was fine.

If I were to do it over again I wouldn't have spent the huge amount of money for this product that barely does anything on its own.

I slipped it over a thick inflatable mattress, and slept well on it, would recommend it to others; this combo of foam cover + air mattress seems to work well, as I have the hardest time sleeping when I camp.

I bought this kit last year and have used it with my thermarest - I have to admit, I'm kind of disappointed. I still wake up in the middle of the night with pressure points and have yet to get a good night's sleep with it. It's also pretty bulky once you've inserted your pad into it...not ideal for backpacking; more the size you'd take car camping. It's softer than my thermarest or z-rest alone, so I am thinking about giving it a second chance, perhaps with a big agnes aircore mattress. We'll see... it's an awful lot of money to spend for what little it seems to do. Three stars for the idea, happy green color, and in the hopes that with a thicker air mattress it will be as comfortable as I dreamed it would!

I'm mildly obsessed with this product. If it was as wide as a bed it would be just as comfortable. I have the air mattress inside, and it is great. It packs to the size of most other sleeping pads- i actually got a thermarest stuff sack and it fits just right(with the air mattress deflated in side the cover still). I am going on a year long adventure and would carry this even though it is bigger and heavier than other options. Sleep is too important to scrimp on!

I grudgingly give this product three stars as it is adequate for the job... However, I was under the impression it was a stand alone product, and have no intention of adding more weight to my pack. Although I admit that used in conjunction with a thermarest air mattress it is quite comfortable, I took it on a weeklong trip, and felt like leaving it behind after one night... On it's own it is useless.

I used it for a week (5 days) and it was definitely more comfortable than the floor, but I can't tell you that it is any better or worse than any other foam mattress pad.

Bought this for my wife so she will camp/ backpack with me more. I personally feel spoiled using an air mattress let alone an extra inch of memory foam. For trips without my wife I would not take this as I would perfer something more compact. I think the price is a little steep since it does not come with an air mattress of its own, but it is worth it to get my wife out camping more.

The best one so far out of my collection of pads, beats my thermarests, other big agnes, rei, etc. Still have my sights set on a big agnes air core insulated. That seems to be the perfect cold weather pack pad.
