Best sleeping mattress - NEMO Equipment Tensor Insulated Sleeping Pad - Mummy

After 35 years of backpacking, the perfect sleeping mattress for me has finally been invented! I am a side sleeper. I am 6'2, 210 lbs. I tried all he different pads, self inflating, blow ups, foam, wide, narrow, thick & thin.

My problem is my hip bones always get sore resulting in tossing and turning with soreness in the morning and without the best of sleep. All my buddies would always say they slept great! I tried under-inflating and over-inflating various air mattresses. I even tried the X-Frame (lookitup).

I chose the 25" wide model, was tired of the narrow pads in the endless pursuit of going ultralight. The horizontal baffles allowed for more flexible and precise cushioning as opposed to vertical baffles. The thinner material seems to lend itself to a softer pillow-like cushion.

The mattress has some thermal insulation but I cannot really comment accurately on how warm it is since I have used the mattress just once, and in mild temperatures. Also I really don't rely on an air mattress for warmth, instead I dress appropriately.

Now I am the one who sleeps great!!
