oldtimer's Review of Big Agnes Q Core SLX Sleeping Pad

First trip out with an insulated air mattress ever, after years of sleeping on foam pads.

Simply put, the best night's sleep I have had in years while backpacking. Now in my 67th year of packing into the woods and mountains, I needed a pad with more cushioning than even a 2"-thick foam pad can provide. After researching every insulated air mattress available, I decided on the Big Agnes Q-core SLX because it seemed a good compromise considering insulating ability, durability, weight, and price.

The best price to be found was, of course, at CampSaver. The Free Shipping was a bonus, and the speed of delivery meant that I got to uset he mattress on my last trip.

I slept warm and my senior bones and body have never felt better. Next trip will be a test as temperatues up high are dropping into the mid-twenties at night. I do expect this mattress to keep me warm and comfortable as it is rated to 15-degrees.
Pros:
  • Comfort, weight, durability, Price
Cons:
  • Price of pump bag
Best Used for:
  • Resting comfortably
