This is my second Exped mattress. The other one is the MegaMat which is amazing if you have the room. The SynMat I got was the LW version. The orange side has very soft material that feels a bit "felty". Has some grip to it so you don't slide around and soft on the skin. The pad has double inflation ports - this is basically two air mattresses together. To some extent you can adjust the firmness of either side. The best part of the set up is the Schnozzel inflation bag. Hate blowing up mattresses and the Schnozzel makes it almost fun. Also learned that it doubles as a dry bag and I'm using it as a pillow as well. My only complaint is that the Schnozzel fills the mattress but to get it extra firm I may take the little hand pump from my MegaMat to top off the SynMat. Also have not practiced enough with rolling it up/packing it. Not sure how Exped got it in the stuff sack but I can't seem to replicate that. So when you unpack... take some care in observing how they packed it so small. All in all we love this product. A bit more expensive but a great quality and should last a long time.
