I bought this and the Neoloft and while both pads are very similar, the Exped wins out. It’s longer, wider and warmer. It’s also less “bouncy” when aired down. Yes, it’s a bit heavier but that’s not a huge concern of mine. It was also less expensive when on sale. It’s super comfortable as well. I’m a bigger guy at 6’1” and this is exactly what I was looking for. I’ll update the review when I get to use it in the field but my first impressions is it’s a pretty awesome pad.

Pros and Cons

Torn on this one. It’s very comfortable. I’m a side sleeper and can get a soft sleep position without bottoming out. That said, calling it a Megamat got my expectations up. This feels like a high quality air mattress, not a relative of the other Megamats. Also I knew this was big, but it is even heavier than what’s listed here by about half a pound. The LW is listed as 2lbs 2.5 oz, but I get 2lbs 10oz. on my scale. At this size and weight a self inflating pad probably makes more sense.
