Sea to Summit  Comfort Plus Insulated Air Sleeping Pad

After looking at several review websites online of backpacking sleeping pads and talking with friends big into backpacking/mountaineering, I settled on the Comfort Plus for my Denali trip. It was very comfortable, and I slept straight through the night. I’m a very picky sleeper and often have trouble staying asleep even on cushy blowup mattresses, so I was pleasantly surprised to sleep so well on a pad. I will definitely recommend this to my friends and family. My large size and my girlfriend’s regular size pad fit together nicely in the Eureka Midori 2 tent I got for the trip. We were both very comfy! The inflation sack is also easy to use, and the size/weight of the mat is awesome for the comfort.

My wife and I purchased these sleeping pads in 2015 to use for backpacking, but we have found them so comfortable that we use them for car camping too. They are easy/quick to inflate and deflate, roll up easy and take up little room in a car or backpack. As for comfort, I've read reviews saying they aren't so hot for side sleepers. My wife and I both find them very comfortable--but I'd note that our sleep mattress at home is rated extra firm. When the temps dip down into the 30s or below, we also use a closed cell foam pad under the Sea-to-Summit pads. As I noted, these are now the pads we use whenever we camp, and we've had no failures over the 7 years we've used them. We think they are great and will keep on enjoying their comfort and ease of use.

Given what great reviews this received, I was excited to take it on a Boundary Waters trip earlier this summer. I was super disappointed in the lack of cushioning on my hips. I'm 5'3" and 130 pounds. For the price and the reviews I expected a lot more from this pad. I'm returning it for something more substantial.

This is the worst sleeping pad I have ever used! The thing does not stay inflated by morning it is flat no matter what I do and under what conditions I use it. In addition, the gray portion of the stuff / pump sack ripped off within 1.5 years of use. I purchased this pad because it got good reviews especially for side sleepers and those with back pain. It turns out the only good thing this is good for is to add additional weight to your pack....I can find better uses for that space and weight. Not sure how this thing got all the awards and good reviews but it certainty will not get one from this user.

This mat is on the heavy side, but I knew that when I purchased it. However, it is the most comfortable and warm mat I've slept on. I recently went on a back country elk hunt with temperatures in the single digits and sleeping in a three season tent. I never felt any cold air beneath me and was warm the entire night. It is easy to fill with the attached fill sack, and even easier to deflate with the large inflate/deflate valve holes. The material feels tough and I haven't experienced any issues with it loosing air overnight or getting punctures. I cut weight where I can, but this is one item that I'll allow in my pack even though it weighs more than other mats. I needed a warm sleeping mat for late fall hunts.

Used this for the first time on a beach-camping weekend. It is extremely easy to inflate using the airbag that is super-conveniently incorporated into the stuff sack. Sleeping on my back, I was completely off the ground. A bit of contact on hips and shoulders when side-sleeping, but better than my previous pad and still quite comfortable. The temperatures were fairly warm (around 60F), so not a challenging test, but I did not feel any loss of body heat through the ground. It deflates quickly and is easily packed back into its sack. Light and small. I am very happy with it.

I have had the same sleeping pad for about 10 years but I checked out the Comfort Plus by Sea to Summit and was amazed by the advancement in technology in the last decade! Not only is this sleeping pad extremely lightweight, but it is also compact and comfortable. I have gone on two bike tours, four backpacking trips, and lots of car camping with this so far and I am very impressed with its performance. Gone are the days of having to blow 20-25 times to inflate a sleeping pad - I absolutely love the bag that fills with air that you can fill this up within 30 seconds or so.

I used to think I'd never get a good night's sleep in the backcountry. The Comfort Plus Insulated Air mat has changed that! The dual-layer system lets me customize a softer sleeping surface while keeping the bottom layer fully inflated to protect from hard ground. And I love that it provides redundancy in case of puncture, though I've been using it for years and have never worried about its durability. The only drawbacks are weight and packed size, but it's still my go-to pad for most trips because sleeping well and comfortably makes everything else better, too!

I sleep like crap in the backcountry; always have. I'm a side/stomach sleeper, and not a small dude. I always end up with arms or legs hanging off the sides of my mat, or a bruised hip bone from being on my side. Ultralight pads are a pipe dream for me, and I came to the realization that I needed to bite the weight bullet and get something comfy. Enter the Comfort Plus Insulated. I got the large rectangular, and I am glad I did. Sleeping on my stomach with my feet stretched out and my arms above my head, I've had no issues with hanging off the mat. Warm, comfortable, and adjustable — I can finally get some semblance of sleep on the ground. Yes, it's heavy, but I can't put on the miles if I can't sleep. Totally worth it!

I'm 62 years old and still actively backpack every year. To be honest, over the years it has gotten harder and harder to sleep on the ground. Hips hurt, shoulders hurt, back hurts. Started 50 years ago with 1/2 inch “blue “ pads. Moved on to original thermarests. Then more thermarests. Several, including whatever state of the art pad they had 5-6 years ago. Bought this sea to sky pad for a week in the Montana Beartooth range last summer. Short story: AWESOME. Most comfortable sleep I've had in the backcountry ever. It is on the heavy side but well worth it.
