"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"

"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)"

"is a great all-rounder, one of the best actually when it comes to comfort-weigh-pack size ratio."
"Tiny volume for each."
"Seems to pack even smaller than their shortest UltraLite pad (the orange one.) ... pretty packable ... still pretty small"

"I've used them for 1500 miles of multi-day hiking with no issues!"
"I forgot I had my fenix on and did a mud run. Didn’t even phase my watch. Literally dragged it through the mud and it just kept going."
"rugged outsole has held up amazingly well (just replacing them after >600 hard miles)"

"I've had a Klymit V for about 4 years and use it regularly. ... Only one puncture in the years I've used it but easy to patch and still going strong."
"I patched it back up with the included patches and it's been fine."

"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."
"Inflatables take a lot of babying, they often get holes. ... If a pad pops once every 10 weeks, you’ll have to replace the pad at least twice on a thruhike. Of course, some pads don’t pop, it’s just that they often do pop or leak at some point. I don’t want to spend 100-200 dollars on something that’s gonna fail after a couple weeks. ... “ often they do pop or leak at some point” meaning most pads will pop eventually. Once it pops or leaks, even if it’s once, the pad has failed and it doesn’t effectively function unless repaired or replaced. ... Based on anecdotal personal evidence, which of course isn’t a great measure, a lot of pads pop or leak without making it through a full thruhike. One failure is too many for me. There’s no other piece of gear, besides socks and shoes, that fail as often as pads. ... I’ve had one fail in as little as 2 days and I currently have one that has yet to fail after like 70 nights🤷♂️."
"leaked out the valve all through Washington, leaving me on the ground multiple times per night, waking me up every hour or so."

"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"

"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."

"it's so ridiculously loud I can't use it!"
"potato chip bag noise effects"
"the exped still makes noise ... the noise caused by the sleeping bag sliding around on the pad ... I turn over nonstop all night long and am insanely sensitive to noise."
AN0NY_MOU5E 1.0Yup. I went from a yoga mat in my 20s to a 1” pad to a 2.5” pad and now that hit 40 I splurged for the exped mat. For backpacking I still use the klymit
I second this. Used it for years.
BigRedPDX71 1.0I would not recommend a ccf pad though I take a small piece to sit/kneel on at camp. Found the Thermarest Neo-air uncomfortable and a pain to inflate; bought a Klymit Static V2 at less than half the cost and they’re definitely on to something with their design. It’s a few more ounces than the neoair. I’m a side and stomach sleeper and slept like a baby on my last 5-night trip. It seems thin at first so I was skeptical but its wide/channeled design does a miraculous job of cradling your body and distributing the weight. Honestly, best pad I’ve used backpacking in 25 years.
DCITim 1.0I'm similar size and sleep pretty good on my Klymit Static V2
flobbley 1.0You can get a Klymit Static V for $40 direct from their website right now, which is a known brand with a warranty and roughly half the weight of that one. Or you can get a Static V2 from Amazon for $50 and shave off another couple ounces.
No-Veterinarian-9190 1.0Thirded. I have both the standard and insulated version of this.

outlaw_echo 1.0I have a klymit static V2, just need a insulated mat , bit fed up with sleeping on my closed cell army mat when its cold
I have one on the way. mummy version.. so got my fingers crossed.. I'v a Klymit that is OK but cold
The_Dalai_Rama 1.0Niet zelfopblaasbaar, maar: Klymit static V2 luchtbed in combinatie met flextail tiny pompje. Pompje is op accu, gaat lang mee en het geheel kun je in je broekzakken meenemen. De klymit is niet superwarm, dus op koude nachten doe ik er een goedkoop tyvek reflectiematje onder (€8,- op bol of zoiets). Dan slaap ik tot het vriespunt behaaglijk. Met goed googelen ben je voor <€100,- klaar
tmack813 1.0My friends and I use the klymit static v2 and it's been very reliable for us. Definitely too thin for what the OP is looking for but since this pad has been solid for us, I'd imagine their more expensive ones might have what they're looking for and be similarly durable and reasonably priced. Look for stuff on sale or open box on amazon if you can, that can make a huge price difference. I was able to pick up a $300 Marmot puffy cost for less than a hundred the other day when they were clearing it out. Same thing with my tent, sleeping bag, etc.
1bourbon1scotch1bier 0.3I love my Klymit Static V insulated
Bert_Skrrtz 0.3Just 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
