So good, I bought 2

So far, I've bought 2 of these mattresses, 1 for myself and 1 for my daughter. They're warm, easy to inflate, and more durable than others I've tried. I might buy the full size mat for my tent(s) next. Just to have tons of room.

Most comfortable pad I've used as a side sleeper

I have used many sleep pads over the years and have never found one as comfortable as this one. I am a side sleeper and the thickness of this pad keeps my hips off the ground. I've never had a cold night on this pad and I've used it in a wide range of temperatures and conditions. Used on a thru hike and have never gotten a hole/leak. I wish it was lighter but for the comfort I get, a few extra ounces is 1000% worth it.

I liked the first one enough to buy a second

Love this pad. I take these on every trip solo or with a partner.

Great Pad

Couldn't be happier with this pad. I'm a side sleeper and haven't touched the ground yet. Easy to inflate with the included sack, and it packed down very small.

Comfortable in cool weather

As a big guy (6'2", 290 lbs) I have looked for a pad that is comfortable and one that I dont constantly feel the ground at my hips. I also enjoy camping in cooler weather and needed a pad that can keep me warm. This pad has answered both those concerns. It is comfortable especially when I let out a little bit of air, and I have stayed warm in near freezing weather. I have used this pad down to 34 degrees F so far and was perfectly comfortable and didn't notice any cold spots. Being a bigger guy I do feel like I could use a a little wider pad when I lay on my back (I have the long wide version) but it's really not that bad. I primarily am a side sleeper so in that position it is great.

Comfortable, warm pad

A great backpacking pad that keeps me warm into 3 seasons. Very comfortable, with the side rails helping keep me and my bag on the pad

Trusted brand and worth the money!

I use this pad in backcountry trips and can't afford a failure in the field. I trust Big Agnes when my comfort and sleep depend upon it.

Comfortable and does the job

I've used this sleeping pad on two canoe trips so far and it is very comfortable. This is the first sleeping pad I've owned with a pump sack. It works pretty well and beats using your breath, but I'll probably upgrade to a USB pump. It is a huge comfort upgrade from my previous sleeping pad. The 20 inch wide pad is pretty narrow and I wish I would have splurged and gotten the 25 inch. Time will tell as faras durability, but overall I'm very pleased with this pad.

Loved it for our last camping trip of the season!

Comfortable and glad we got this sleeping pad. Worked great for our camping trip in Moab. I was a little confused on how to inflate the pad with this open ended bag and no instructions, but I was able to figure it out and it was easy to inflate in the end.

Yep

New inflation bag is lighter/bigger than previous so I like that improvement. I am stuck on this brand as all my old mattresses are still fully functional and your customer service is perfect. I was buying this "shorty" to fit crosswise in the cab of my truck; I do wish it was a few inches shorter for that purpose.

My most comfortable pad.

I use this pad more than any of my others. I like to cut weight wherever possible but am ok with a few extra ounces to get the comfort this provides. Great 3 season pad that can be extended into some mild winter weather especially when paired with a supplemental closed cell foam pad.

Holding up to years of rough use

This has been an awesome pad that's my go-to work horse. I never need to worry if it will fail and the fill sack continues to work flawlessly after years of hiking trips in all weather conditions. My only complaint is that I should have gone with the wider pad so that when I want to sleep on my back then my elbows won't hang to the sides. The extra inches for the wider model is worth it. Not a fault with the pad at all. I used it for a 16 degree overnight camping trip last winter with a quilt in my sleeping bag and was amazingly toasty warm. It simply performs great no matter what the weather throws at you.

Best pad on the market

I've tried numerous pads and nothing compares to this guy the BA Rapide SL. I'm 5ft, 110lbs and got the 25"x72". I could've got the petite, but I like comfort and was willing to carry the extra weight for the 25" wide. I wish they had a petite 25"x66", to cut down on weight and size. But I give this pad a 5 star all around. My dog even can fit on the pad with me and it's tough enough that she won't pop it. Highly recommend and it's been on several overnight trips on the CO Trail and it's still in perfect condition.

I'm 6'3 and 275 pounds. Big Agnes has earned my business.

It's not easy finding high quality, hardworking equipment for big & tall persons. I'm 6'3 and 275 pds. This product not only serves me well, but durable enough for my husky/german shephard (110 pds) as well. If you want a bargain, you'll sleep terribly, if you want something to last you, hold up to you and your treks, buy Big Agnes.

Fantastic Pad!

This is one the best pads I've used and I've tried a number of them. I find the slightly enlarged sides to be very helpful in creating a good night sleep. It doesn't seem like it would be that big of a deal, but it does make a difference. I like the pump bag that comes with it, though it did take me a couple times of using it to really understand how to make it efficient. It deflates easily and quickly, and I like how it gets folded in half twice to roll up rather than in thirds like so many other pads that I've used. I know it's not the lightest pad on the market, but I don't really care given the comfort it provides. And it is indeed very comfortable. i just keep it ever so slightly deflated as I'm a side sleeper. I did make one poor assumption when I bought it. It's not a winter pad. I had a chilly night when I took it winter camping by itself, but if you throw a closed cell type underneath it, it does just fine. I just didn't have the right expectations for it's R-value. If I were to have any complaint about this pad, it's the noise when rolling over. It's not nearly as bad as some of the Nemo's I've used, but it is a tad on the high side. Quite frankly, it bothers my wife more than me as she sometimes hears it. I tend to sleep a little harder than she does.

Firstly what a hoot to inflate. That was me looking like a goof but with pro level results. If the wind is low just blow up the air bag on your own. I love how my BA sleeping bag hooks on perfectly and this one is big enough to stretch out, sleep so comfortably and even for the pup to cuddle up. Easy compact for backpacking, can't recommend enough!

BUY IT!

I've had so many sleeping pads over the years, none have been nearly as comfortable as this one. It's warm and holds air well through the night even in extreme temps. If you're on the fence, this is your sign to go for it!

The best sleeping pad I've owned

I've slept on this pad for 60 nights. It's very comfortable and durable. The oversized air chambers on the sides keeps your body on the pad. It's not noisy like some pads. The inflation bag even works well.

Although pricey, would buy again.

I live in Taiwan and there are no lightweight, two-person air mattresses available here so despite the price, we gave it a try. It turned out to be a perfect size for car camping and our BA tent as we expected. We are both relatively thin so it doesn't feel cramped with two people on the mattress. Luckily, we are both deep sleepers so the noise when moving about doesn't affect us but this may affect some light sleepers.
