Big Agnes Insulated Air Core Sleeping Pad - Mummy
Inflatable Pads Not For Me

Tried this pad after I returned the clearview due to material. Inflatables are a rather new thing for me as I am used to closed cell pads but thought I would join the rest of the group and get a really great nights sleep. This pad is nice, it kept me warm in 30 degree weather but the pad itself I just find uncomfortable and finicky. Perhaps I just didn't give it enough time, but I feel being 2.5 inches off the ground means that you either have to never move at night or be ok with half your body being off the pad. If it works for you great, for this closed cell guy, the move was a mistake. Returned it due to no fault of the manufacturer. Quality seems tough and durable.

I'm wondering if the reviewer had a big agnes sleeping bag. I doubt it, because the pad fits in the sleeve of the sleeping bag so I it's hard to roll off of it.
