Comments about Big Agnes Iron Mountain Rectangular Sleeping Pad - Long Wide - Special Buy:
product is comfortable, but takes longer to blow the thing up than it does to put up two tents. Not self-inflating, air doesn't even enter the chambers unless blown in. This was not in the specs so i want everyone to know this. IS very comfortable, but time consuming.

Comments about Big Agnes Iron Mountain Rectangular Sleeping Pad - Long Wide - Special Buy:
I used this pad with a Big Agnes Summit Park sleeping bag (rated to 15 F). Temp dropped to 34 F outside the tent, 40 F inside the tent, and I was cold all night. Big Agnes sleeping bags apparently rely on the pad for insulation from the ground/tent floor, but the Iron Mtn pad provided virtually none.
As a consolation, I tried this combo again in 65 F weather and I was adequately warm.

Comments about Big Agnes Iron Mountain Rectangular Sleeping Pad - Long Wide - Special Buy:
Very comfortable pad, keeps my body from ever contacting the ground. This pad has negligible insulation so is only good for warm camping, if it is going down below 40, you need the insulated air core pad instead. Lots of air needed to blow up the pad but that is also the reason that it is so comfy.

Comments about Big Agnes Iron Mountain Rectangular Sleeping Pad - Long Wide - Special Buy:
Very comfortable . Good but not for cold.Never did try a foam pad under it though.Its very simple trade off ( You want to sleep all most as good as home and deal with a slippery mattress)or a ( Thin mattress that stays put and feels like your shoulder is going to dislocate in the night)

Comments about Big Agnes Iron Mountain Rectangular Sleeping Pad - Long Wide - Special Buy:
Most of the others have hit the high points so I won't bore you with that. Yes, it takes a strong set of lungs to inflate it. Yes, it is a tick cold, (although I slept on it the other night and it was 19F in the tent, but I was in a Marmot Never Summer 0F bag). I wasn't COLD, but I could tell a difference between it and the old foam pad I used to use. One thing I have discovered is that you shouldn't inflate it all the way. I blow mine up as far as I can, then lay on it while I open the valve just a bit. Slightly deflated is the best nights sleep ever. Even with its few cons, this thing is MUCH better than a closed cell foam pad.

Comments about Big Agnes Iron Mountain Rectangular Sleeping Pad - Long Wide - Special Buy:
A friend of mine did a good sales job on me and convinced me to get one of the BA pads. It's a good pad and probably a great pad if you have a BA sleeping bag with a pad sleeve.
The pad is compact, light,and stows away nicely. Blowing it up wasn't a big deal, but I can see how others might not be into that. Deflating and packing it up was easy enough.
It's plenty comfy enough and I didn't feel any of the ground under me.
However, the thing is so slippery I found myself slid to the end of the tent a few times when the tent was on a slight incline.
This model isn't insulated so it's probably not best for colder temps. My last trip it dipped to the low 30's and consequently the thing did lose some air. (I was on a cot as well, so it wasn't a huge deal, but without the cot I'd have been a little miffed had I needed to inflate in the middle of a cold night.) Also, because the pad wasn't directly on the ground, I can't comment on how well it did/didn't insulate. I was plenty toasty in my cheapie +20 bag.
