Increasing sleep comfort in the hills

[Iron Sighted]

I'll throw another vote in for the Exped's. I have a Downmat 7, I love the thing and use it year round. It's bulky and heavy compared to my Gen 1 Thermarest Neoair, but much warmer and waaay more comfortable, in fact it's not even close in either category.

I have both the neo air xlite and Exped 7 - i like the exped more but its bulkier so i take the exped for non - backcountry and neo air x-lite for hiking in. They are both excellent choices.

I’ve been using Exped’s Downmat 9DLX for a longtime (13-14yrs), don’t think they make a deluxe anymore.
I went from the half inch blue foam to the exped, so no idea about anything else. Just know it is very comfortable and warm.

Just used a Nemo cosmo 3D sleeping pad this weekend and it was fantastic. I woke up the next morning without any body aches or pains.

I use a Thermarest Prolite, for years we just slept on the ground with a 7lb Synthetic mummy bag, switched to a light down bag and a I thought I had died and gone to heaven with the Therm-a-Rest, nothing worse then getting up and you cant pull your boots on from being uncomfortable.

I like the sounds of that Ex-ped Downmat 9

Take some good scotch and wash down the sleeping pills with it and you can sleep on a rock. Ask me how I know this!

Hows your body feel in the morning after that sleep on a bunch of rocks?

Funny enough, I used to sleep anywhere that was convenient when i was in my 20s. Never took the time to even level out a sleeping area.

Now in my 30s .... not so much

Lol. Truth be told I'm just jealous. Jealous I can no longer sleep on rocks and tree roots and walk the next day!
