Review on Ultrathick All-Weather Foam Sleeping Pad With Pillow For Backpacking, Traveling, And Hiking - Fast Air Self-Inflating Insulated Mattress - Durable Camping Mat In Green (3 Inches) by Sean Franklin

I bought this in preparation for a four-night car camping trip because my old camping mat sprung a leak. I'm a big guy (6' 5", 260 lbs) and I like to sleep on my side. This is the only sleeping pad that has been comfortable to 'side sleep' on. Everything else has been too thin, or slowly leaks through the night. I've been on hundreds of camping trips, both backpacking and car camping, and this is legitimately the most comfortable pad I've slept on.If you prefer super soft mattresses that you sink into like a full size air mattress, this might not be suitable for you. While it is fairly soft, it is firm compared to an air mattress, but not as firm as an ultra-basic foam sheet sleeping pad. I'd put it halfway between those two.Backpackers: This is not suitable for backpacking. Compressed and rolled up, it's about the same size and weight as a folded up camp chair. I have an ultralight pad for that instead.Pros:• Super thick• Self inflation works well after a few uses• Two vents allows faster inflation/deflation• Long and wide enough for pretty much anyone• Exterior material feels nice• Keeps you warm thanks to the thicknessCons:• Big and relatively heavy, but that's a necessary sacrifice for the comfort of this pad• Included bag is too small, very difficult to roll this pad tight enough to ever fit it back in (it does come with fabric elastic bands to keep it rolled, so this isn't a huge problem)• Does not self-inflate very well ONLY the first couple times you unroll it. I recommend leaving it inflated for a few days once you get it to help with this. (You can always inflate it with your mouth anyway)Best applications:• Car camping• Household guest mattress
