Big Agnes Air Core Pad

Great air mattress. Takes awhile to blow up but very comfortable for tenting and backpacking and lightweight (relatively) . wide enough for entire body and arms of average size person.

Worked well for 2 seasons then developed a slow leak that I cannot find.

I bought one because my hiking partner swears by his. He has had leaks from heavy use and Big Agnes replaces the mattress no questions asked. As far as what I think, I am 6 ' 200 lbs and a side sleeper. The mattress is a little skinny for that but otherwise is comfortable if I sleep on my back. It does pack down small and is lightweight. It Inflates without completely hyperventilating you. It is a good product by a company that stands behind what they produce.

This sleeping pad is terrible! It's really loud when you roll over to the point where it wakes you up. Used it about 6 times then it deflated over night. Do yourselves a favor and buy the accordion style pads. Weighs nothing, won't deflate and makes no noise.

My adventuring son recommended this air mattress as s good combination of quality verses cost. I took this air mattress on a trip to Thailand into the rural areas. It came in handy when sleeping in homes with wood floors and motel rooms with only two beds and three people in the room. It was soft enough to keep my cranky (58 year old) hips reasonably comfortable. A little narrow but that is s positive when packing and trying to keep things small and light.I would not have wanted to take the trip without it!! Used it almost every night and was able to get some rest.

leaks air with little use.

As an avid whitewater kayaker I do a lot of weekend overnight trips. Usually it's car camping but sometimes it's camping out of the back of a kayak which is a lot like backpacking as your load needs to be as light and compact as possible. I have the 20" x 72" Rectangle pad and it's pretty comfy. When you blow it up, don't fill it like you want to float on a lake with it, it only needs to be about 1/2 full of air to give good comfort and support.

Used twice for camping so far, near Austin TX in MarchPros:Compact, lightEasy to air up, takes 2-3 minutes of blowingConsNoisy when moving/rolling overHard to get the air out of it when packing up. Maybe I'm not doing it the right way.It got chilly, so if you'll be using for less than 40/50 degrees F consistently, the insulated version may help, and more importantly, bring enough warm clothes or proper rated sleeping bag. I'm not an avid camper, so lesson learned.
