Big Agnes  Campmeister Deluxe Sleeping Pad

This pad is Awesome! I have a NEMO Tensor Extreme and its warm but its fragile and narrow for what most manufactures call WIDE. I was looking for something warm and wide and found the Big Agnus Campmeister Deluxe. No its not as light as the NEMO but at 78x30 inches and thicker material, this pad is a beast! I'm 6'5" and 280lbs, and this pad held up cowboy camping on top of a 14er here is Colorado. I forgot to pack my tent and figured if its gonna pop, its gonna pop and I will just head back down. I slept in till the sun came up and don't think ill ever go back to NEMO. Thank you Big Agnus for looking out for the big guys!

My wife and I run a YouTube channel (Alaskan Nomads) where we camp in remote places in Alaska throughout the year (all seasons). We both use these pads for all of our Alaskan winter camping adventures, and have used them in temperatures as low as low as -11F. We put a foam folding pad below it and between the two, we stay very warm and comfortable. We went with the long/wide version, and would not hesitate to buy this exact pad again. It's perfect for extreme cold conditions.

I'm a big guy (6'2", around 250, with broad shoulders) and this pad is an absolute game changer. 30" wide is so much wider than 24" wide or heaven forbid 20" wide like some of these sleeping pads. There's an unconscious part of your brain that has to stay on alert when you're a big dude on a narrow pad, and it keeps you from being able to fully relax. When you're on a pad wide enough for your arms to lay at your sides without being on the ground, you can actually just rest, and your brain isn't half-awake all night trying to keep you perched on the knife's edge. The pad is also designed with a bolster around the edge to help keep you from rolling off, and the surface material resists your bag slipping and sliding around, so even when I've had this on a less-than-perfectly-flat surface, I've felt perfectly secure. The insulation is great, there's no noise from it while moving around unlike some pads that sound like a bag of chips every time you touch them. I couldn't be happier with this purchase. Absolutely the best pad I've ever owned.

Definitely the most comfortable sleeping pad I have ever used. Have not slept in cold weather yet with it but I can feel the insulation even in moderate temps. I am coming from some older thermarest products and this is way easier to inflate too. The 25” wide version is spacious if i did not also have a smaller sleeping pad for big adventures I would prob recommend the 20”. The edges are raised ever so slightly and it really does allow me to roll around and I have not once come off which used to happen all the time with my thermarest.

Really like the pad. Especially like how the material is not too slippery, so you don't slide off and like how there is NOT a built-in pillow. I find built-in pillows cause you to slide down towards your feet and off the pad and don't actually work as a pillow! Good move keeping it flat! My only criticism is the relatively small inflation bag. Because this is not intended as an ultralight pad, why not include an inflation bag twice the volume?!? It would decrease fill time by 1/2 at very little increase in weight / bulk!

A very durable pad for winter camping or mountaineering. I chose it for my Denali expedition and was very pleased. It supported my weight very nicely and never suffered any leaks during the 15 day trip. The size was more than adequate for my 5'9" body and allowed me to roll side-to-side without rolling off the pad. I stayed incredibly warm during the coldest nights on the mountain. It's a little extra weight but I thought it was worth it for the comfort and durability.

This sleeping pad offered the best nights of sleep I’ve ever had camping. I didn’t lose any body heat and it was so very comfortable. I found the other sleeping pads too narrow, so my elbows were always on the ground, but the width of this campmeister was awesome for car camping. Super easy to inflate and deflate and store, lightweight and stores small. The bag for inflating is fantastic and simple. My husband is getting this pad now to improve his sleep camping.

Sorry, but who let me take a mattress out camping? And it’s like the same size as a Nalgene..? I’m sorry, but I would rather sleep outside now than in my own bed. I think this is nicer than sleeping on my own bed because it legit keeps me warm all night. I know this pad is meant for colder weather, but I don’t know if I can use a cheaper pad ever again. I think this is going to be my year round pad from now on

I'm a side sleeper, and this pad has been very comfortable. My arm no longer falls asleep, and I'm getting noticeably better-quality rest with less tossing and turning. The pad has kept me warm down to 30F while wearing a light base layer and using a 10F (limit) Zenbivy Light Quilt. I haven't tested it in lower temperatures yet. I appreciate the two separate valves for inflation and deflationthey're easy to tell apart in the dark when adjusting firmness. I don't use the included inflation sack instead, I use a Flextail Max pump, which inflates the 25x78 pad in under 45 seconds, followed by 23 puffs of air for fine-tuning. All of this comes at the cost of a bit more weight and packed size, but I'm not an ultralight backpacker and find that trade-off well worth it for the comfort. My only suggestion would be for Big Agnes to include a small Velcro strap to secure the pad after rolling it up.

I had some of the best nights sleep using this sleeping pad recently. I'm primarily a back sleeper but when I did roll over onto my side the pad was still extremely comfortable and warm. I only used the included inflation sack and it takes very little effort to fill it up.
