    I have a macpac self inflating sleeping pad/mattress thing, only used it once and it was very warm and comfortable, the only thing that puts me off is the bulkiness of them. I use a normal foam pad as they fold flat inside the pack.
    Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

    I find it ok, it was a trade between bulk & weight vs length, the only thing is if your in a tent for a week & it's a wet week the foot end of your sleeping bag can get a bit damp if you end up with a bit of moisture on the tent floor, that's the only downside of a 3/4
    Shut up, get out & start pushing!

    Ive got the Exped with the mini-pump doodad and it's great

    Still got the bulletproof old Thermarest and it's less than half the size of that. The following provisos apply-

    I didn't pay enough attention to cutting down stalks at my last campsite and a branch punctured my old cheapo $35 pad, hence the new one

    Also the guy in the shop warned me to leave it unplugged/unsealed during the daytime - the theory is that the tent heats up during the day and the mattress blows up in the heat and munts its internal baffles.

    It works really well and keeps me really warm

    Just purcased the ul 7. Medium is 450gms minus 4 rating and you dont need to worry about the pump because they don't have the down fill.

    @possum_shooter - What's the warranty like with that product? Being the UL model - more prone to punctures?

    2 years I think. Best to put a tarp or builders paper underneath

    I use a Thermarest NeoAir Xtherm size large - packs down to about the size of a pump bottle. Pricey here in NZ, but slightly less so when purchased overseas. SUPER warm and plush. I'm generally a side-sleeper, and thinner mats (plain foam ones, old-school thermarests) leave me sore in the morning.
