"As a hybrid worker, I find the Arzopa one to be super valuable. ... Goes in a backpack"
"Minipc powers/displays to a monitor via a usb-c. Very convenient and great for a travel setup."
"The portable travel monitor travels super well ... I spent probably 2 months traveling/living out of hotels this year between work and pleasure."

"I had a Big Agnes for a decade. ... It sprung a leak on a trip this time last year. ... I found the leak on a seam and called to ask about repairing it. ... They asked for a pic, which I sent as well as a pic of the valve cut off (per their instructions) and my new pad arrived in a few days. No charge. ... I’ll never buy a pad from a different manufacturer again."
"if they fail (which out of all the matt's ive had over the years are the most reliable) the customer service is second to none, you will get a replacement."
"For me the thermarest warranty has been worth its weight in gold ... every interaction I’ve had with them has been amazing, no questions asked replacement or repair"

"It’s the first ultralight mat I’ve used that doesn’t sound like a bag of chips when I move around — no annoying crinkle from the heat-reflective foil. ... The outer fabric is also surprisingly quiet."
"My favorite part is that they're soooo quiet. No rustling or rubbed-balloon sound when you roll over."
"Insulation instead of reflective layer is quieter ... Can’t stand the crinkly noise produced by reflective layer models. ... I find they’re less noisy than the reflective pads. ... Overall, i find expeds less noisy."

"I'm exclusively a side sleeper and my backpacking set up I wake up pain free, so proper support for spinal alignment is so crucial as well as adequate cushion for hips and shoulders."
"the Expeds are AMAZING. ... I actually get good nights sleep on trail with them"
"Lengthwise baffles are just so much more comfortable for me"

"The other two have a slippery surface that makes the last 1" on each side unusable since you slide off it anyway. ... the slipperiness is annoying for me since it just allows my leg to slide back down/off the pad (this is why I tried and ultimately moved away from the Nemo)."

"I personally hated the pitch lock system that prevents it from really folding/rolling as small as its competitor."
"the packed size, it's fkn big ... You really need to be sure you can fit it in your car or be prepared to strap it to the top. ... When I had a Jeep, it BARELY fit! Bottom right corner. When I shut the tailgate, it would nudge it and that was having to move the passenger seat up as far as I could and still be able to sit in the seat."
"It's about the size of 12 by 12 popup shelter folded up."

"But what makes me love the Exped Megamat is that the top layer feels like it stretches, sp the pad contours to your body like memory foam, just less thick"
"The toggles won stop a weighted foot or knee from dropping in between the mattresses but when sleeping it s not really noticeable."
"thinner and less cushy feeling"
compassdestroyer 1.0REI or Nemo (or exped, but imo either get the REI for less or the Nemo if packed size is important to you). I’m talking about their self inflating foam and air mattress in the two person size. And get a backpacking quilt from feathered friends.
gmxrhythm 1.0I'm assuming you want a self-inflating. I have the Nemo Roamer in the double and love it. There's also the REI Camp Dreamer.
heartxhk 1.0we had the Exped Megamat Duo 10 & switched it out for the Nemo Roamer Double. both are equally great with foam + air, the nemo packs down & carries/stows smaller & easier.
Negativeghostrider87 1.0Nemo Roamer Double - best I've ever experienced and I work in the outdoor industry.
TheMuddyLlama420 1.0We use the Nemo (Double) Roamer when car camping. It is a beast and sleeps so comfortable. If you get the singles, they clip together to make larger mattresses. I would have gone that route had I not gotten such an amazing deal in the double.
I prefer the Nemo Roamer pad. I picked up a double for car camping, however, the singles also have clips at the corner so that they can be linked into a larger matress. Comfortable and insulated well.
tmoney99211 1.0My wife and I use the competitive product from Nemo called Nemo roamer double.
I can specifically answer this. So I have tensor 5.4 one. AND the lowest temp I backpacked all season was ~33-34*. Most of the late spring - Fall camping, the lowest temps were ~50 at night. AND dude, this pad is SO warm, I love the pad, so comfy but warm to a point that I can sleep on it in my underwear in 50* and still be warm.. lol I am actually buying a second pad with a lower r value. SO if you think you are sleeping in low temps, buy a pad with high r value. Nemo pads are comfortable as fuck! I sleep like a rock on it. If you are doing mostly summer/early fall backpacking, you can spend a little less money and get a pad with a lower r value.
Alepidoter 0.5NEMO Roamer Sleeping Pad. I dont know how but this 4” thick air mattress feels like sleeping on a regular bed. It’s hands down the best choice that I’ve found.
alicewonders12 0.5The answer is exped megamat or the Nemo roamed. Expensive, but as comfortable as it can get.
CBC_North 0.5As others have said, an exped megamat duo is probably the best option out there but it's pricey. There's a few from other brands that are a similar design (soft top, filled with foam so labeled as self inflating, etc.). Alternatives would be Nemo Roamer, Sea-To-Summit Comfort Deluxe, REI Camp Dreamer, MEC Reactor. The foam filling and soft top make them way more comfortable than the massive intex matresses or the one you have posted even though they are significantly thinner.
dangerousdave2244 0.5The Exped Megamat is insanely comfortable and keeps you REALLY well-insulated (R Value of 8.1, most cold weather pads are R-value of 5). Not to mention it will last decades before it needs to be replaced, and it's backed up by a lifetime warranty. All expensive sleeping pads are. Ive had both ThermaRest and Nemo send me free replacements when my pad developed a leak The Nemo Roamer is similar, as is the Thermarest Mondoking. But what makes me love the Exped Megamat is that the top layer feels like it stretches, sp the pad contours to your body like memory foam, just less thick https://www.outdoorgearlab.com/topics/camping-and-hiking/best-camping-mattress#an-exceptionally-comfortable-mat
