[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have slept on the ground for years, then a self inflatable, Klimt static V, a Coleman queen blow up mattress, Kingdom 3 cot, Thermarest Base Camp and Luxury Map. All of these had their goods and bads. Even the ground had it's good points, my pack was lighter... Now the Big Agnes Boundary Deluxe. What a great pad. I cannot think of anything bad for about this pad. It's quiet, comfy and most important... It's warm. I'm a flipper/flopper side sleeper but I sleep well on this pad. I prefer the above mentioned Cot but it is big and bulky, so this pad wins. I paired this pad up with the Big Agnes "Echo Park 0" bag and they are great together. These two together is the best sleeping system I have had for camping in since I started camping as a Boy Scout over 30 years ago. Annnnndd no more falling/sliding off the pad (to freeze) since the Echo Park bag form fits around this pad. Definitely glad that I got the wider 25" version. I checked out many a pads and this one was by far the best. The Exped was nice but way to big and impractical for me.
