Thought it would be better ... - NEMO Equipment Astro Insulated Lite Sleeping Pad

I read a review on a top camping site that said this was his top pick - mainly due to the baffles which run contrary to normal, thereby (according to the reviewer) keeping the sides from collapsing inward. Supposedly this helped the pad feel wider. I did not notice this, as I slept on my girlfriends pad for a night and it felt about the same, space-wise, and much more comfortable in general.

There was also the issue of the built-in pillow, which really wasn't much except for a lump, and a lump that wasn't very comfortable at that. If they were going to go for a built-in pillow I think they should have gone all the way and made it an actual pillow, or had none at all.

On the plus side, the pad is light and packs pretty small. And it wasn't UNcomfortable, just not as super comfortable as was expected for the price.
