Actually Slept!
I just got back from 4 days and 3 nights in The Enchantments. The longest, most intense trip I've taken, and I slept like a baby, even in the snow. Bought this as a recommendation from the Sea to Summit rep who called it the "Goldilocks of the backpacking world". Awesome. I'm a side sleeper, 5'8 female, 140lbs, and I can't get over how comfortable I was. First trip I've actually slept during. I also love that it folds up small enough to fit in the lower compartment of my Deuter 45+10 with my sleeping bag and Sea to Summit pillow.

Warm at night
I used this on a three week trip last fall in the mountains and with a hammock, I was as comfortable as ever. Except that it would side around, but that's a normal hammock issue and nothing to do with the pad. REI actually sell wings to slip over the pad to prevent hammock sliding. The pad takes less than ten breaths to inflate and the biggest seller for me was the large dump valve that enables me to deflate and pack up (in the included stuff sack) in probably 2 minutes...or less if you don't pack as neat. Great pad, was worth the money.

Warm and super comfy sleeping pad -- but expensive
This is a great sleeping pad. We previously had an older version of Thermarest pads, which were very comfortable but were pretty heavy for backpacking. I bought the Large/Wide version.
We needed a large version (I have fairly broad shoulders and chest), and settled on these as a bit of a gamble if I'm being completely honest. There were some reviews online, but not tons, since they are relatively new, and I just wasn't sure how well they'd work -- or how comfortable they'd be. Most other "air only" mattresses I had tried were either way too noisy (NeoAir) and/or felt like inflatable pool mattresses.
After 2 weeks of camping+hiking, I can say they totally fit the bill of comfortable, light and warm.
The design on the sleeping pads is really solid: you get full usability of the pad surface, you don't bounce around, and you can sleep quietly. I move around a fair bit when I sleep (back, to side, then back again) and these pads were no problem. We used them in temps ranging from 35-40F with no issue whatsoever.
Only downside: the price. They are *really* expensive, and it's why it's not a 5-star review. Honestly, I almost rated them at a 3 due to the price. With tax, you're looking at $200 per pad - almost twice what a ProLite Plus costs, which is (very) marginally heavier and plenty comfortable. If they were 25% cheaper, it'd be no question of the value.

GREAT pad!
We shopped allllll of the sleeping pads for a BP trip on the JMT... Bought them, tested them, returned them and this one is by far the BEST! For weight, size, comfort & R rating. Never leaked any air which obviously is huge! Valve is quick and easy! Don't under estimate this aspect! Being able to dump the air all at once for easy pack up and go is a definite bonus!

Worth it
Okay, this is an expensive sleeping pad. But, it's worth it. I've tried others but this was the best I've experienced. It kept me WARM on a cold night (got down to around 40 degrees F) and it is also comfortable. It is NOT noisy when you're moving/turning during the night like some other brands are. Inflates quickly, deflates within seconds. Compacts down. Very light. Overall, a great backpacking product. Why not splurge and ensure you have a great nights sleep so you can enjoy the most of your day out in the back country?

Excellent!
As a backpacking guide, mountaineer, and fitness professional - I choose this pad over all the others. Well worth the high price tag - it has better support than even the most expensive Big Agnes, despite being thinner. The valve system makes blowing it up faster, and deflating it is practically instant.

Really easy to pack and in/deflate
This pad was extremely easy to inflate, deflate and pack which was a really pleasant surprise. The pad itself was comfortable for the night camping i spent on it in the sub 30* temperature. I would recommend this pad to anybody on the market for an inflatable pad that packs small and light.

If I'm 5'5", would it be safe to get small or would the extra length on regular be better?
The small would work fine for your height.
Date published: 2017-01-27
What's the weight limit for this pad?
Sea to Summit does not provide a weight limit for this sleeping pad.
Date published: 2017-05-23
Will a puncture completely deflate this pad or will some chambers stay inflated?
If the Comfort Light Insulated Sleeping Pad is punctured the entire pad will deflate.
Date published: 2017-04-21
Do I need to use a air pump to air the pad up?
A pump is not necessary for this pad. Approximately 5-8 breaths into the valve can fill this up.
Date published: 2017-04-03
I am considering buying this pad. I am 5'5" and weigh 185 pounds. I have total hip replacements and sleep on my side. Is this thick enough so I won't feel my hips on the ground? A review said it was not recommended for side sleepers. Thanks
For a person in your situation we recommend a sleeping pad that is at least 3 inches thick. The Comfort Light Insulated Sleeping Pad​ is only 2.5 inches thick, so it is not ideal for your needs.

I've got a Big Agnes LuLu Petite bag. It says that the pad should be 20"x66". This pad is slightly larger at 21". Do you think it will still work?
We do not recommend this pad for your sleeping bag as it is larger than the recommended pad size.

I'm a woman who is 5'4" and 175 lbs, should I get the small pad or the regular?
​We recommend ordering a small.
