Big Agnes Insulated Air Core Sleeping Pad - Mummy
Warm comfort

Ranked #252 - Midweight Sleep Pads
March 28, 2008
I like the 2.5" thickness of the Big Agnes Insulated Air Core. I can adjust the firmness as with any inflatable, but have more depth to accomodate my finicky back. I'm thin and tall and can finally sleep on my side without the hip bones aching in the morning or touching down through the mattress. Then insulation keeps the air from moving in the mattress so it's warmer. Downside: gotta inflate this baby all the way with my breath each evening; about 25 big breaths, broken up to keep the dizzy head away. There is a 6 oz weight penalty over the winter full length Ridgerest I was using, but it's also lighter than the full length (older) Thermarest Camper I was carrying. Rolls up nice and small - another plus.
