most comfortable pad

[eLightfoot]

I need a new pad this year. I care less about weight than most, Im 6-4 245lbs. Looking for something that is comfy and durable, yet still not out of reason for packing. This will be a backpacking pad.

Exped Megamat Lite

 

[Where's Bruce?]

EXPED UL9 LW or WINTER...R rating of 6 and 3.5" thick. Very comfy, especially with an EE quilt.

Second what Bruce said. The Exped UL9 is VERY comfy.

Anyone have experience with the Nemo Tensor Field insulated sleep pad? Warmth/comfort/durability?

Do yourself a favor and try the Sea to Summit comfort plus long. Not at all heavy for how comfortable it is. I have some friends who are well past 300lbs that think they’re comfy.

Sea to summit Comfort plus insulated is very comfortable but pretty heavy.

True i think it’s 25oz but I sleep best on it.

I have one, got about a dozen nights on it. Its decent for its weight, not overly noisy and pretty warm. Its not a comfortable asthe expeds i have but its much lighter.
The nemo is a decent pad.

Klymit Insulated Static V Luxe. Hard to beat a 30" wide pad. I gladly carry the extra weight of the pad for the sleep I get on it.

Im 6'2" 275 and I just went to a 30 in pad. Its awesome. I went with the nemo cosmo insulated...i think its 2.5 pounds or so but i lightened up my bag by 2 pounds so its actually close to a wash. Its also 80 in long which is significantly longer than the Static V if i recall. This thing is a luxury. I love it. I have broad shoulders and this thing is heaven. I was running 25 in wide pads for a while but this year im running the 30 for the first time.

Good luck, it seems to be a mixed bag on the BA pads.

Im 6"4 255lbs and I run a therm-a-rest xtherm and love it. Ive used the exped's, sea to summits, and even the rei brand ones. By far the most comfortable & weight saving of them all. If your talking just comfort..... exped megamat but that thing is HEAVY!

I had the big agnes system for a while, as I liked the generous non mummy cut and the pad holder. The q-core was warm and comfortable for a little while, but I (being a bigger guy) started getting cold spots around the pad due to the height. IF I slept on my side and then rolled back over in the middle of the night, there was a cold channel along the sides. Then, I started noticing that it was not holding air through the night. Tested over and over for leaks, but couldn't find any. Returned it to REI and got another one. The next one I got did not leak, but had the same cold spot issues. I also found that I did not need the extra height to be comfortable, so I tried out the therm-a-rest xtherm. First night I was taken back by how warm and comfortable it was. The only downside was that it makes noise due to the material it uses. Its not enough to wake me up at night, but if Im moving around a little before bed, its noticeable.
