Big Agnes Air Core Sleeping Pad - Mummy

Big Agnes Air Core Sleeping Pad - Mummy

Rating for this product: 4 July 2, 2003

I have been using a Warmlite Down-filled Air Matress (DAM) for the last several years. However, it developed a serious leak around the fill (that defied attempts at repair) and costs $140 to replace, so I thought I would give the REM a try. The price is comparable to quality self-inflator, while the weight is comparable to a thin foam pad. Playing with the air pressure yields a very, very comfortable, conforming mattress. The down-side of all non-filled air mattresses is that they require an insulator as the air temperature drops. I use a layer of foil-covered bubble-wrap (building insulation). This nearly doubles the weight, but is still well less than the DAM, or a full-length self-inflator. I sleep heavy, and will find the ground, even on 1.5" self-inflators. The REM kept me very comfortably off of the ground. The material appears as tough (puncture-resistant) as any self-inflator I have tried. If you need the comfort of a thick mattress, and can't afford, or want the weight (28oz) of a DAM, this is an excellent choice.
