I have a Thermarest Prolite 4 and am a side sleeper (no matter how hard I try not to be). I always wake up with sore hips. Friends clued me into the Big Agnes pad this past weekend. I don't have a Big Agnes bag with the sleeve - should I get the mummy to save on the weight or the rectangular to allow me the room to roll on my side and curl up?

If you get a bag with a pad built in, side-sleeping is very uncomfortable (read: impossible). I have the Therm-A-Rest Prolite 4 and just add about 2 breaths once it's self-inflated to get it really firm. I'm a side sleeper too, and it works fine for me.

I guess that depends on a couple things. How much of an ounce counter you are. For instance the difference between the long and the long mummy is 4 oz. Also, are you going to be able to sleep on your side on a pad that is 20 in at the widest with not as much room for your legs? I am a side sleeper as well and I have the same thermarest. I do have to give it a little extra air to get it to the desired firmness, so my hips wouldn't hurt. I also have a big agnes bag for colder camping along with a ba pad. I couldn't sleep on the 20 in unless I had the ba sleve system to constrain me a bit.
