    I've got the exped but only because it was the most commonly reviewed one at the time of purchase. I'm very happy with it. Synmat 7.

    I know it's not on your list but my thermarest neo air x-lite is probably my one favourite piece of outdoor kit. So light so small (when packed) and so comfortable.

    I've used a ecp
    I've used a exped ul9 for the last couple of years... Probably the most comfortable mattress I've slept on in the bush...huts included... It's defiantly something I take care of..it sure ain't bombproof but o always have some Tyvek underneath and it hasn't let me down.. Just make sure you don't fully inflate it, it's too hard, about 3/4 is kapai...

    I'm using Exped but you do need to look after them. Had the internal seams go twice because I left it inflated while away from camp. Was replaced N/C by retailer under the two year warranty.
    Hunting is relaxing just like Yoga except I get to kill something.
    If it Flies it dies and if it hops it drops.

    That's very much a common theme and taken on board, thanks

    I bought an Exped Downmat 7 a few years ago. A bit bulkier than the light weight ones but so warm and comfortable. You're welcome to take it for a spin.
    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!
