"The roborock I have kicked and smashed with my foot so many times out of anger when it doesn't collaborate, and still he rocks 4-5 yrs later and no broken parts"
"they are extremely durable. ... I’ve got well over 1000 miles out of a pair and they still have grip and the uppers are in great shape"
"I've used them for 1500 miles of multi-day hiking with no issues!"

"super comfy. ... And even me at 270lbs I can sit in my side and not bottom out (inflated a lot though)"
"definitely has improved our sleep quality a lot while camping ... boyfriend has back issues so a bad sleep set up is not really an option"
"I just put up with the pinholes and patching them on trail because I can't sleep better on any other pad. ... There's a huge difference in comfort depending on your body between the dimpled baffling of the Etherlight/Tensor and the horizontal baffling of the Xlite. ... I can't sleep on horizontal baffling despite all the good features of the Xlite. ... I'm a side sleeper and my arms and shoulders ache and/or fall asleep or go numb on the Xlite. For whatver reason I can only sleep on dimpled baffles (tensor, etherlight)"

"used for the first time at 1 degree and I was nicely warm. ... very impressed with the quality and warmth."
"It has an R value of 4.0 which has kept me warm all year round in temps down to about -5."
"how it kept us warm down to an exact 35 degree night."

"fits in a sleeve for their sleeping bags (also Big Agnes) so they don’t roll onto the ground."
"I like that the sides are higher on the BA pads, which keep you from rolling off the mat. ... It's not that they are super high to physically prevent you from rolling off. It's the subconcious thing that when you feel that extra height, your brain does it, even when asleep."
"This one has vertical baffles that I think work better for me, especially as a very active sleeper to keep me centered."

"sounded like a loud squeaky balloon. ... Every time I shifted weight or switched sides it was loud. ... Even someone walking by looked at me and said “that’s really noisy”."
"The fan that circulates the air is so ridiculous it sounds like an airplane is idling inside my house, and it literally changes the air pressure in my kitchen and hurts my ears"
"It ’s super loud ... Noise at least on hardwood is easily double the qrevo"

"The one I have has a terrible valve that seems to be designed to be as inconvenient as possible. ... You have to blow into it, but there's a bit of resistance to air coming in, and the valve is such that it's hard to tell if it's open or closed. ... I'm attaching a piece of an old bicycle inner tube to make it possible to use a bike pump."
"Pump sack is beyond useless, too porous and leaks air instead of blowing into pad. I just blow it up by mouth."
"Agree the Thermarest pump sack is the worst of the bunch, no question, but I've gotten mine to work enough."

"I had to return my Etherlight XT since it was too cold to use even in summer."
"Klymit is known to completely bullshit their R-value ratings. ... They had an insulated pad rated at 4.4 that they later (had to?) revise to 1.9. ... I personally wouldn't trust them. ... just stay clear of the insulated claims."
"It was so cold with my 30F quilt and a Zoom UL pad that I honestly was concerned. ... I had to spend the night running in circles and doing jumping jacks in the shelter"

"Big Agnes has valve issues ... mine didn't even last 3 uses"
"After two months on the road it is now failing almost every night. ... I’ve exhausted the patches that came with the pad and it’s now covered with third party gear repair patches. ... I paid good money for this thing and it is absolutely not worth it."
"Big Agnes pads are some of the toughest out there as far as I can know, yet I have gone through three because of punctures. ... Each time the holes have been so small that I can't find them without getting to a hotel and submerging them in the tub."

"Certainly heavier than the neoair though"
CAElite 1.0I have a Big Agnes Divide insulated pad. Was about $80-90 when I got it on sale. Comes in various sizes including 25x72” It’s about 3-4” thick when inflated. Probably the comfiest pad I’ve slept on.
The LLM does seem to have a problem with some negatives. Theres a comment regarding the Big Agnes Divide where the posters says they'll "never buy from another manufacturer" after having a positive warranty experience, counted as a negative towards BA.
Haha, thought I'd browse through the BA Divide as it's one I know I've recommended myself on this sub, think your comment is a couple down from one of my own. u/heyyyjoo I think the sites great, do you think you could implement a reporting tool for false positives/negatives?
Cavalleria-rusticana 1.0This is the biggest drawback I had with the equivalent burnt orange Big Agnes Air Core Insulated, but BA replaced it at no cost within a week ^((although now it's the Divide Insulated Pad in a quite awful yellow and slightly lower r-Value...))
DependentFriend8 1.0The "Big Agnes divide insulated" model is/was my favorite sleeping pad ever. I have never slept so good before in my whole life outdoors. I also did not have a puncture in it for over 6 months, even while bike packing through Baja, Mexico which is notorious for cacti punctures. It fills up to a pretty big size, and is incredibly comfortable. Look into it! If I was in the USA right now, I'd buy it right away. My previous one was stolen from me in a storage unit burglary, unfortunately.
G00dSh0tJans0n 1.0For "comfort" backpacking I use a Big Agnes Divide Insulated wide pad. 25" wide. Sleeps so good being a side/stomach sleeper. 30oz weight
imacbo 1.0My favorite pad ever and most comfortable to me is the Big Agnes Divide Insulated. Not crazy expensive and meets the R-Value you’re after
knight-under-stars 1.0They have explicitly said in their original post that their original mats are too heavy for wild camping. Offering up a 2kg mat is merely trading one unsuitable option for another. There is a reason Exped themselves market this as a "base camp mat". My suggestion would be to get a closed cell mat for the dog and something like the Big Agnes Divide Insulated (~800g) for the people. I have one of these and am a side sleeper and they are very comfortable. I'm far from the smallest of people either and it has stood up to my weight (laying and sitting) for over two years so can attest to its durability. And on top of all this, it is £75 cheaper than the Megamat.
I am an "active" side sleeper, someone who changes side 4-6 times a night. When on my side I've very much in the recovery position like you, and as such I cannot stand being restricted in a sleeping bag. I use a [Big Agnes Divide Insulated Wide](https://ultralightoutdoorgear.co.uk/divide-insulated-sleeping-mat---regular-wide/) mat and it is super comfortable. I pair this with an [Ice Flame Extra Quilt](https://iceflamegear.com/product/extra-quilt-32f-standard/) which is rated to 0C/32F. I opted for the additional 200g of fill to make it extra snuggly. I've had this combo down below zero (somewhere between -2c and -5c) and I would not want to use it much colder than that. Anything down to 0C though and I've been toasty warm all night long. If you have a bit more cash to splash then the [Zenbivy Light Bed](https://zenbivy.co.uk/pages/light-bed) sleep system looks like the absolute dream for a sleeper like me. This is top of my list for upgrades.
I use a Big Agnes Divide Insulated mat. It has an R value of 4.0 which has kept me warm all year round in temps down to about -5. Packs up pretty small and is a doddle to get back in its bag. The bundled pump sack is crap though, it just leaves in one of my gear bins and I use a Flextail pump.
I use a Big Agnes Divide insulated mat in wide. It is really comfy, very durable and best of all ridiculously bright yellow.
NastySnapper 1.0I've been using the Big Agnes Divide for a 3 seasons pad the last few years. I paid 50 bucks for it on sale. Also, recommend the $20 rechargeable pocket pump for the pad. We'll worth the extra few grams.
raiderjesse661 1.0Gf and I currently use a Big Agnes Sleepy Bear 35 which is a double wide sleeping bag and for our pad we use the Big Agnes Divide Insulated double wide pad. We love this combo for how comfortable it is and how it kept us warm down to an exact 35 degree night. Definitely recommend the sleeping pad. The bag is also great but discontinued. I see the current equivalent is the Dream Island which seems to be an improved version.
runslowgethungry 1.03-4 pounds is very heavy for a backpacking pad and you will probably regret it, IMO. Even 2 pounds is a fair bit. I think the Divide is the best option of those, personally. They're a pretty good value. See if you can get it on sale - they don't go on sale too often, but watch around the May long weekend as there are often price breaks for the big brands then.
soupyjay 1.0Big Agnes. Get a wide. Bonus points if you pair it with one of their bags, as they work well together.
