best thermarest ever

I have to admit I was a little unsure about this mattress; I've come to trust thermarest but frankly the neoair looked more like something you'd see a kid floating on at a pool than something that would survive years of backpacking. Could it really live up to expectations?
The short answer, as evidenced by it's overwhelming popular reviews, is yes. It really does compress down to the size of a Nalgene bottle, it really does weigh less than a pound (except for the large), and it really does hold up. I just finished hiking for 2 months straight in the Sierras and mine is still in very good condition, albeit a little dirty. The few nights it dropped below 20 degrees it did get too cold for this mattress, but not by much (thermarest rates the neoair at 30 degrees). I plan on grabbing a prolite plus for winter camping.
