Regular Size is Way too small

Ether Compact Sleeping pad - Regular size. Guess I should have thought about the measurements, but when I got it inflated, it didn't barely provide a base for my north face kilo mummy bag. I didn't slide off of it except for the fact that it was just way too damn small, so unless you are very small or able to sleep absolutely ramrod straight balanced on this thing, don't get it. What part of my body I was able to keep on the pad was pretty comfy; I didn't feel any rocks or hard ground through the pad. I'm a full figured 5'6" female, but I'm not that big; the skinny guy that came on the trip with us said it looked far too skinny for him! :P Inflates pretty easily. The fact that it didn't come close to being the same size as the bottom of a unisex mummy sleeping bag to me means it's too small. I'm going to return this one...not sure if I want to spend $90 for the full size ether pad.

I am 6'1" and i can sleep on my side or full length and sleep just fine... just make sure that after u fill it up, let some air out so that you're not sleeping on a floatie for the pool.

Interesting comments, the pad is 20 inches wide when blown up, same as every other high performance pad on the market. try sleeping with the pillow off the top of the pad, and it would more than accommodate for anyone 6 feet and under. The pad looks skinny, but looks can be deceiving.
