"A good robovac is a life changer. Even a $350 basic S8. It is a great place to start. ... I promise you that you will not be disappointed by a basic S8. It will change your life even if it can't fit under every piece of furniture you own. ... My two S8s just finished vacuuming our entire house in about 46 minutes. ... While my floors were being cleaned, I sat comfortably on our patio in the cool shade with a slight breeze and composed my far too long response to you while sipping a diet soda and relaxing. ... I will have to spend about four minutes maintaining my two S8s. This will be my entire contribution to my home floor cleaning effort for today. Four minutes!"
"I got the Q5 Pro for $139. ... costs $450 less than what I paid for the S6 ... it is the best value option out there imo."
"Like 500$ these robots are currently the steal of the century ... You can get a mova p10 pro ultra (cannot remove its mops), equivalent to the l40/x40 for 500$ after a discount code"

"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)"
"I sleep all night and no body aches."
"This specific pad and its sibling, Ether Light XT Insulated, have been my primary pads the past four-ish years. ... They are 4" thick and the most comfortable pads I've used, probably tied with the NeoLoft. ... Never woken with my arm numb, and the only pad I've ever slept seven-plus hours straight-through."

"shockingly surprised that how comfortable it was in my mid 40s on the hard ground ... I even had room for an inflatable pillow because of it"
"For 3 season use, Klymit isn't _bad_. ... My kid sleeps on it when she comes out for a Thanksgiving campout in October."

"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"

"of the two I bought both of them wouldn’t hold air in them. It’s the valve system they use, it leaks air."
"Both times I’ve hiked the PCT my thermarests have popped in the desert . ... My first one had multiple holes and was a write-off."
"I do not believe in blow up mats because a pinhole means you wake up two hours later lying on the ground cold as fuck wishing you had bought something else, then spending an hour trying to find a way to warm up when you’ve already fucked that chance."

"My ass is always hitting the ground with the Klymit V."

Adubue 1.0It's tough to find a quality sleeping pad with an R-Value of 5 around the $100 price point. What type of weather will you be hiking in? My off the cuff recommendation within your budget is the [Kylmit Static V (Insulated) ](https://amzn.to/4irkjTc). It's got an (alleged) R-Value of 4.4. I have their non-insulated version of this pad as a spare pad that friends borrow for summer hikes. It's lightweight and comfortable. I've heard that the insulated version (linked above) is on the "Meh" side of the spectrum for R. If you really need an R-Value of at least 5, I'd go higher and go with a [Thermorest](https://amzn.to/4htamDn). I don't like being cold at night 😂 I've got a slightly older version of this pad and it's super warm and comfortable, though it's a little "crinkly" when you move around.
_significs 1.0Just to add a bit of context here: Some of the old model pads you can find have a Klymit R-value rating, compared to the industry standard ASTM. [Discussion here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Ultralight/comments/euwcv1/updated_klymit_rvalues_with_the_new_astm_standard/). My v1 insulated static V, which Klymit still sells and advertises as 4.4 R value, has an ASTM R value of 1.9. They do advertise their _new_ versions of those pads with ASTM R values.
zakafx 1.0For budget 4 season AND ATSM tested, Justin Outdoors reviewed the Hikenture sleeping pad: HIKENTURE Sleeping Pad, 6.2 R-Value Insulated Camping Mat with Pump Sack, Ultralight Inflatable Sleeping Mat, Portable Self Inflating Sleeping Pad for Camping Backpacking Hiking(186L x 64W) https://a.co/d/cEha9rX I have used this pad in the winter months in Northwestern Ontario, I definitely prefer it over the non-ATSM tested Klymit pads (though they are slowly seeing an ATSM rating now). Slept great @ -20C. For 3 season use, Klymit isn't _bad_. My kid sleeps on it when she comes out for a Thanksgiving campout in October. We use this paired with a CCF pad, but in summer, no CCF pad needed.

ThePracticalDad 0.3My Klymit Static V wide was a game changer for me. I had quit camping. (.side sleeper, hate cold ground) Half inflated it’s warm, holds me in place, and packs small.
1bourbon1scotch1bier 0.2I love my Klymit Static V insulated
Bert_Skrrtz 0.2Just make sure whatever you buy is actually ASTM tested for the R-value. So avoid Klymit for example. If it’s not ASTM tested, they can make up any number they want to. It’s night and day between my Nemo Tensor all-season and my Klymit Static-V Insulated
crevasse2 0.2I have a Klymit Static V Insulated (4.4 r value) I used on the GDMBR in 2023. I somehow managed to poke a hole through both sides including the tyvek ground cover and tent. Shit happens when you sleep on the ground. I patched it back up with the included patches and it's been fine. I consider these things to be consumable and assume I'll have to replace for whatever reason. They're just glorified pool floats. Also you use your breath to inflate them and I suspect they get pretty icky eventually. I try to air mine out whenever possible in the sun hoping that keeps the air chamber somewhat disinfected. I bought mine discounted at Sierra. Not showing online at the moment but might be in stores or this one looks like it's the same thing under a different sister brand (same copy on tag). I need to get one for wifey and I'll probably get this one.

danmanwick 0.2+1 for mec reactor (my solo, 5 years old) or klymit static insulated (double, for doubling, 3 years old) and aquaseal uv for field repairs and aquaseal seam grip for reinforcing the repair at home
derch1981 0.2I would maybe start with better insulation below, I know that pad says r4.4 which should be good in that range but klymit pads are usually not that warm partially for their pattern.
