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 3/4Quote:

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?Quote:

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.
Neo air you won't regret it:)
