Love this sleeping pad, it is lightweight and very compactable. Comfortable for a side sleeper. I had to use the lifetime warranty 1- year after purchase due to some issues with the valve and the team was helpful and amazing and I got sent a new one. Highly recommend!

5 Samantha M.
[ This is the best mat out there. Super light, relatively durable considering how lightweight it is and their customer support and lifetime warranty make this the best purchase that exists.

5 David L.
[ Probably the best I ’ ve ever used. As a side sleeper was amazed I could lay comfortably on such an insubstantial pad. Packs very small, blows up with only 10 big breaths. Love it.

5 Nol P.
[ Very happy on how fast I received a replacement of my original purchase. Thank you!

5 golpeador09
[ Heard good things about it from other people so I gave it a try. It works well, packs down very small, and is very light. Like other reviews say, you will sink through if just sitting on it, but once you lie down, it keeps you cushioned up off the ground. It's tricky to get all the air out and get it back into the sleeve, but overall, I was pleased with the product.

5 matthew e.
[ The Ether Light XR is a great upgrade to my previous sleeping pad. This pad is super comfortable, packable, and warm. Even though I bought the rectangular wide pad, it is still amazingly small. Also, I love the integrated pump on the sleeve that makes pumping up the sleeping pad super quick and easy. I love that it is integrated right into the sleeve so you ca n't lose it. I have tried a lot of different sleeping pad brands, and I think the Sea to Summit pads are the best backpacking pads you can get.

5 Joel-Philip R.
[ My dad got this sleeping pad for me for my 21st birthday. I am going on tour with an indie band and this is an unexpectedly great and comfortable solution for crashing at people ’s apartments when they don ’ t have 6 extra beds for the band. I recommend it to more musicians who are going on the road. It is comfortable, my bones don ’ t touch the floor, and fits in the car or plane with a bunch of other music gear. I will also use it outdoors in the future.

5 Danielle C.
[ Super cushy. Able to lay on my side without my hip hitting the ground. Lightweight. Packs down great. Very happy with this purchase.

5 Paul L.
[ Simply the lightest, easily packable, and most comfortable air pad available.

5 Debbie B.
[ I have lots of nights in the backcountry sleeping on other brands of sleeping pads. The Ether Light AR Insulated pad has improved my sleep. No more tingling in my arms or sore hips. Much longer and more restful sleep. I have a short mummy which fits me perfectly. Seems wider than other 20 '' pads. The pad does seem to have less insulation than other pads I 've used. Still it's a good pad for summer use. The inflation sack takes a little practice, but it works really well. I wish the inflation bag was separate from stuff sack, since it could then be used for other things. The material is n't as slippery as other pads. Packs down relatively small and easy to get back into stuff sack. Only have 15 nights on it so far. The material seems durable so hoping to get many years out of the pad.

[ Lightweight and easy to set up. You just need to practice setting up. Perfect for backpacking. It comes in a drawstring bag that you can easily fit in your backpack. The drawstring bag also doubles as the “ air pump ”. It is also comfortable to sleep in. It ’s contours fit your body perfectly.

4 laureno49
[ I was excited to receive this product. Although I did not use it outside, I have used it indoors. I have a bad back and like using it on the floor for movie night. It is comfortable for me. As with all air mattresses it is a pain to get all the air out in order to get it back into its case. Either way, definitely worth it.

Grabbed one to replace an older Tensor that has a pinhole somewhere. I loved my older Tensor and used it for the Appalachian Trail last year. Never had any issues with it, slept super comfortably, and it was super easy to blow up with the pump sack. I recommend this product to everyone that comes into work looking for a sleeping pad.

5 LightningBug
After a year of researching which backpacking pad to buy, I think I finally found* the one*. Last summer, I borrowed a Nemo Tensor from my friend and actually slept all through the night, every night on a week- long camping trip! As my old pad neared the end of it's lifetime, I would wake up on the ground, cold and unable to sleep. This pad is a huge upgrade from my previous pad, which lasted me for 10 years. I love the thickness of this Nemo pad and the design of the baffling, so that you do n't feel like you 're going to roll off the side( something that happened to me on my old mat). This pad packs down to practically nothing and feels quite durable for an insulated air pad. Instantly feels warm just laying on it at home. I ca n't wait to take it out with me this season! I now want all the Nemo products.

5 Liljinx88
As a big hipped side sleeper, I approve of this pad. A little noisy but very comfortable.

This sleeping pad, paired with my quilt, gave me a great( and warm) night sleep in the Rocky Mountain backcountry! Definitely recommend getting the 25 '' wide version, as the extra couple inches makes all the difference. I 've slept on narrow pads in the past that made me feel like I was sleeping on a diving board... but the baffles on the edges of this pad kept me in place all night, no matter if I was sleeping on my side, back or anything in between.

I live in Northern Minnesota where the nights are cool most of the year. May and September can have snow and June and August have some nights in the 40 degree range. I am always too cold and have struggled to fine tune my sleep system so that I can sleep through the night. I have gotten lower and lower rated sleeping bags in synthetic and down, an insulated inflatable pad, tried liners, wool base layers, hand warmers in double socks, hot nalgenes. I could go on and on. A friend recommended this pad and the first night I tried it, the temp was in the low 50s and we slept with the fly off. What a difference! Same bag, same set up as usual and not only did I sleep but I woke up too hot. THAT HAS NEVER HAPPENED. I love this pad for its versatility around camp but especially for the added warmth at night!

5
This pad is a must have for backpacking. It's ultra- lite, really comfortable, can be thrown anywhere to use as a pad or seat, and mostly it is very warm. It's ability to regulate temperature is surprising; it does n't get too hot on the hot days and it keeps your back side toasty warm throughout those chilly nights. Highly recommend.

5 Tristan
Who thought the classic closed cell foamed pad could be upgraded? NEMO made an awesome job coming up with something even better that what was already in the market. It is definitely more packable, and it regulates temperature quite well. From hot days to cold winter nights, the pad remains comfortable and warm. I 've used it in combination with the Vector as well as on its own. This kind of pad can be used in tons of different ways, and that is what makes it a must for any backcountry adventure!

5 grannie
I like this pad a lot! Much more comfortable than its competitors and packs down better. I bought it to increase the R value of my inflatable, but found out I can comfortably sleep on it by itself. I wish they would make a 25 '' wide one though. I would buy it in a heartbeat!

5
I love this pad! However, as pointed out by others, I could be wider. Personally it fits me fine but there could be a 25 inch version. Other wise I live this pad, and I love the brand Nemo all around!

[ This is not a brand I had heard of before but it had the features I was looking for at a great price so I thought... why not? I 've slept on this pad for several nights now,( warmer and below freezing temps) and as a side sleeper, backpacking pads are not always comfy... but this is. It's insulated, blows up within 10 breaths( usually 7- 8 for me), packs down to a nice size, is light and I do n't slide off it at all while I toss and turn. Because I sleep on my side, I find if I do n't blow it up firm.. it's great. It's definitely worth a try if you are on the fence.

5 AT Hiker 2021
[ Light weight, easy to inflate( 10 breaths), easy to deflate and it actually folds up and fits back in its tote bag! Keeps my base weight at 15lbs.

5 Mountain men
[ Bought this mattress for an overnight backpacking trip in New Hampshire ’s White mts. Two nights temperatures dipped only to high 30 ’s but kept me very warm. Light weight and easy to inflate. Only down size was it was alittle bulkier than I was expecting. However worth the space in the bag for a warm restful sleep.

5 Amanda
[ Love this sleeping pad. Doesn ’ t feel like sleeping on a waterbed like so many other air pads. It feels both soft and supportive. So far have used it two nights on granite and was very comfortable.

[ I tried the Big Agnes Divide the other night in the yard to test it out. Blows up easy with the bag or by mouth. The quick release button to express a little air for comfort is a great feature. It seems durable and wasn ’ t very loud. The temp went down to 35 and I was very warm. Definitely great for the price.

5 mmead
[ This sleeping pad is like a cloud. It's so soft and comfortable, you 'll never want to get out of your bag.( Unless you have to tinkle, of course.) But even then, you 'll be so reluctant to leave the warmth and coziness of this pad that you 'll probably just end up peeing in your bag.( Just kidding! Do n't do that.) This sleeping pad is also incredibly warm. It's perfect for those cold shoulder nights when you 're camping in Northern Michingan. You 'll be so warm and cozy that you 'll forget all about the cold weather outside. And this sleeping pad is also incredibly lightweight and packable. It's so easy to carry with you on your camping trips. You 'll never have to worry about lugging around a heavy, bulky sleeping pad again. So if you 're looking for a sleeping pad that's comfortable, warm, and lightweight, then this is the pad for you. It's the perfect sleeping pad for any camping trip, whether you 're camping in the mountains or at the beach. And if you 're looking for a sleeping pad that's also funny, then this is the pad for you too. Because this sleeping pad is so comfortable, you 'll be laughing all night long.( Just kidding! Or am I?)

5 Redrider620
[ I have the long wide version for solo trips and it facilitates the best sleep I can get while tent camping. Just picked up the double wide for trips with the wife. It is just as comfortable and even laying in the middle, by myself, on my side, the pad does not compress such that I touch the ground.

5 SamW
[ I ordered this for my partner who thinks most sleeping pads are too small and not thick enough. We have n't had a chance to really put it through the wringer yet, but first impressions are good. It is easy to inflate with the bag. Generously sized and seems durable( we camp with dogs that climb all over the seeping pads and I always worry about their claws). It's maybe a bit bulky/heavy but for the price point and r rating I think it strikes an excellent balance.

5 No nickname
[ Exactly what you think you 're getting. Kept me toasty and was super cozy. The inflator bag works great. I think the pack weight and size are spot on.

The Big Agnes Zoom UL Insulated sleeping pad is an excellent choice for anyone who values comfort without sacrificing pack weight. It's impressively light and compact, yet provides a warm and supportive night's sleep thanks to its high R- value and insulated construction. The surface feels stable and quiet, and the larger outer chambers do a great job of keeping you centered through the night. Setup is quick, I use a small battery inflator instead of the full sack, and it packs down smaller than a water bottle. Overall, the Zoom UL Insulated is a top- tier pad for backpackers and thru- hikers who want premium comfort in an ultralight design.

I chose this pad because it was rated as one of the top 10 products for 'best sleeping pads for women' on Outdoor Gear Lab. I wanted to optimize for weight and this pad met my needs. I love that the pad is easy to inflate using the stuff sack as the inflator pump- it helps me blow less of my own germs/moisture into the pad if I do n't have to put my mouth on it. It's a pretty thin pad but I do n't have any issue of feeling the ground when I lie down on it and the 'air sprung cells' are pretty comfortable since it's more flexible than a flat inflated pad.

My precious pad that I used was a Thermarest Prolite( 31oz) and truly love it but needed something comfortable and lighter. I have several other pads that weigh close to the Tensor but were all over the weight of the Nemo Tensor( 14. 5oz).

Everyone that has used it have given me glowing reviews and confirmed a restful night sleep.

This pad changed the game for car camping comfort. Does n't slip when used in combination with the matching Dream Island 2 person bag. Self- inflates easily, but deflating, rolling and stowing it in the stuff sack is a chore.

I read a lot of reviews complaining about rolling this pad up. If you have ever rolled a self inflating pad up before, you will have no problem. This thing is sweet! I use it in my Toyota Sienna and it fits perfectly. It also fits my three man tent perfectly. I love this pad for exactly what it is... a glamping pad.

5
I used my pad this past weekend on a Cub Scout campout with my family. It was the best night's sleep I 've had camping since I was a kid( and I 've logged a lot of nights on the ground between Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, and the Marine Corps). I 'm a stomach sleeper and this 5 '' mat worked perfectly for that. I also loved that I did n't feel cramped on it. I 'm a bigger guy( 6' 1 '' 235 lbs) and I felt like I had plenty of space on it. My wife was jealous so we are planning to buy her one also.

5 Rena
Tested it out on a car camping trip a few days ago. It made all the difference in comfort and warmth in upper 30 degree temperatures. Insulated, comfortable and it does n't squeak, like an ensolite pad when moving around. It initially took a good amount of time for the pad to inflate when we first got it. But, it now inflates much faster. The challenge, as others have said, deflating it and getting it to a size that fits back in the sack or taking up less room in the car.

I ’ m amazed at how comfortable this pad is considering it weighs less than 10 ozs! It blows up to 3 ” thick and sleeps just like a normal- weight pad but packs down to size of a 12oz beer.

NEMO raised the bar once again with the Tensor pad. I used this pad for a week of backpacking as an upgrade from the older Tensor version. The sizing is a real game changer – it really could fit inside my nalgene bottle. I was concerned about durability due to how small is it, but it's just as strong and durable as the other Tensors, if not more. I 'm also a side sleeper who tends to move around during the night. I did n't hear anything from the pad throughout my trip. Finally, the temperatures dropped below freezing level for some nights. I used this pad in combination with the Pulse Quilt( 34F comfort), and I slept like a baby! Overall the Tensor Elite is now my to- go pad for ultimate ultralight adventures, that's for sure!!

5 TimmyBoy
I have not had a chance to take it out yet because I just got it. I did air it up and lay on it in my living g room and it's pretty dang comfy if I do say so. Did I mention it's very light weight? It's crazy lightweight and small. Now I 'll need to down size my pack! This thing is a UL hikers dream!

5 SOCKS
This thing is so light and small you will think you forgot your pad at home... It is almost as comfortable as the Tensor all season but is not available in wide or long sizes. The 10D material is nice... we will see long- term how it holds up.... so far, so good!!! Cheers NEMO!

Got my Tensor Elite just in time for a 3 day trip through the Swamp Fox Passage of the Palmetto Trail. And holy cow, this thing is light... shaved 10 ounces from my base weight. I have more than a few sleeping pads in my gear closet, and this thing totally punches above its weight class.( It's not hard since it's literally the lightest inflatable pad on the market!)

I do a fair amount of camping in the warmer weather and have been looking for awhile for something like this to help on cold nights. While I haven ’ t used it for that purpose yet( I bought in December)- I have been tucking it into my leather jacket for cold weather motorcycle riding and it ’s been such a game changer for me! I got a great deal on it as it was “ open box ” but it seemed brand new to me. Have been using it daily for a few weeks now and it ’s worked awesome so far.

5 Aaron
I got this for my wife to help stay warm at sporting events and she absolutely loves it. The product looks great and works every time we need it for colder days, we could n't be happier with this.

I was able to use my sleeping pad for the first time and lasted over 6 hours on low loved it.

Made of good material. Too small to really find an area to warm your bag, but if you are hiking into an area to tent, it is super light and compact.

This is one of those products that performs as well or better than the item description. It's a little bulky, so you 'll probably want to strap it to the outside of your pack. My Boy Scout, Venturer and I each have one: we love them!

5 Ashnmatt
We 've used Thermarest ccf pads under our inflatable mats for all of our cold weather trips. They keep us warmer by adding more rvalue. They also protect my inflatable pad, and my knees when I kneel down in the tent. They easily roll up and strap to our packs. They make pretty great sit pads when taking a break along the trail as well. We recently picked up another one for a friend who will be joining us on an early spring trip with cold temps this year. Ca n't wait to give it to them. Good price for the quality.

Bought this for my son's scout camping trip this past week. It was about 40 degrees, and this insulated so well that at one point, I had my seeping bag open and was sleeping just on the mat. Still warm.

I have a upper back issue and have been trying so hard to find a mat that doesn ’ t kill me in the backcountry. It has finally happened the little extra bulk is worth it. This mat helped me sleep through the night, kept me warm and insulated and is very quiet compared to a lot of other mats.

5 Astrid S.
The second I lay on this mattress I knew it was the right choice. Sure you can go lighter, more compact or cheaper but why would you? The importance of having a good nights sleep is real. Good sleep= rested body, mental clarity and you enjoy your adventure SOOOOO much more. Poor nights sleep= grumpy, fatigued, brain stall. Its a no brainer. So what if you have to carry a few more grams. The only downside I see is that my partner keeps wanting to steal it. LOL. And the fact that its 4 season is another win. I am interested in seeing how long it lasts. Will keep you posted.

5 Vladimir K.
Super comfort, lightweight, durable and very beautiful sleeping mat!

5 Shelley J.
Comfy and easy to use. It took me a while to figure out the deflate valve configuration, but once I got it, it worked like a charm.

Inflates and deflates very easily. Quite cushy and comfortable. Seems to be very well insulated, although we have n't had any really cold temps to fully assess that. A bit large for backpacking, but worth it if sleeping comfortably is an issue.

I am a big fan of the Hinman, for car camping its perfect for backpacking I 'd get something a little smaller. Its very warm, if you want it to be a little bit more soft blow it up just a couple more times by mouth after it fills up. I will say i was n't expecting how long it would take to blow up but if you unfold it right after you make camp and hangout for 30- ish minutes its not a big deal.

Used this on a recent trip to Joshua Tree in December with temps in the low 30s. This thing is amazing. I 've never been so comfortable tent camping before. Could n't feel the cold at all and had plenty of room for two of us. I could have slept on this for weeks.

5 mertmert
I bought the doublewide, 4in thick version of this, and it's great for car camping when space is n't at a premium. It's very comfy and warm, and it stays still when one person moves.

[ I bought this pad after my plug in inflatible sprung a leak. My niece has one that she loves. So, I bought one before my son and my trip to the ADK for a hiking weekend. My 15 year old son used it in a lean too. He is 6' 2 and weighs 215lbs. It is the extra wide and long pad. It was long and wide enough for him. It is also super comfortable for only 2. 5 in of pad. Love that we no longer need to find an outlet in order to blow it up. Great mat!!

Pros Awesome mattress nice and thick. Slept on a couple of roots didn ’ t even know were there until I picked up the mattress. Really was comfortable and worth the$$ Con If I were to change anything I would say you could go to 28/30 inches You also have to be a magician to get the mattress back in the bag takes a lot of work however when I got home we used the vacuum to deflate them fully

5 John K.
This pad is absolutely the BEST. I bought a regular wide and used it to stealth camp in my Honda Element at the crag this week. Long story short I 'm buying a double soon to keep in my vehicle at all times, and using the regular for tent camping when necessary. If you 're researching for van life, stop. This thing is your solution.

5 Heather W.
THIS IS BY FAR THE MOST COMFORTABLE THING I 'VE EVER SLEPT ON. And that includes real beds. I sleep on this in my car, in my tent, cowboy camping, under a tarp, and even when I crash at a friend's house. Impeccable comfort, ease of use, and durability.

5 Kase C.
I 'm Search and Rescue. There are a lot of nights where I have to sleep in my truck at base camp or just catch some shut eye before I drive home. It really wide and plenty thick for a soft or supportive sleep. I can toss and turn all night and not wake up sore.
