Thermarest NeoAir Topo Luxe

I've yet to use the mat 'in the field' but I have inflated and tried it out within the home. The quality appears to be there along with comfort. Both valves operate with no issues. However, the acid-test will be when I use this mat 'live' but going on the various reviews I've listened to/read it functions well,

I decided it was time to replace my Thermarest self inflating mattress after years of great service. I chose this one because I wanted the width to accommodate my elbows when lying on my back. The mattress is really light, and easy to inflate using the Pump sack, though I have also invested in a Thermarest, battery operated, tiny air pump, which will do the job while I drink Gin! The mattress is very comfortable, and if you need to adjust, you can just add or take out a bit of air. It deflates really easily, and is easy to pack. My stuff sack was missing from the box, but just one e mail brought a replacement the next day. I was really pleased with prompt delivery and great customer service.

Only used it once but I like it a lot so far. I got an XL because my arms and legs kept falling off my last pad (older thermarest). I used to have to buy an aftermarket thing in the past to save me blowing up by mouth but good to see thermarest include a pump sack now (makes it very easy). Also wry impressed by Facewest. Cheapest I could find for this pad by far at the time.

I absolutely love this pad. There are lighter pads but the comfort is more important for me. It is quite bouncy when fully inflated but I find letting a little air out sorts this. I've read other reviews claiming this is a noisy pad, it's really not when compared to other backpacking sleep pads. I'm a serious turner and twister and this isn't too noisy. It's also super comfy for restless sleepers, even on your side or tummy. It is insulated (3. 7 r-value) and used with an additional foam pad (mine is a cheap decathlon roll up) is suitable for an Irish winter. It's the best I've ever slept in a tent.
