Neoair Small Follow up...

Following up on the Neoair mattress as I promised in the end of the first initial impressions review.
Initial Review of the Neoair Mattress

Photobucket

Summary:
This air mattress overall has become and will stay as a mainstay of my sleeping system for 3 season use and possibly a part of a winter sleep system. I don't feel much underneath me and that equates out to some of the best sleep in the backcountry I have ever had. I have now used this mattress from the mid 30's up to 60 degree nights in varying alpine and coastal trips. This mattress has a considerable amount of heat reflection for an "uninsulated" inflatable mattress. Overall it was one of the best comfort items added to my pack this year! I'm sold on these mattresses. They are expensive, but if you do a lot of camping, the comfort and insulating properties at a low weight penalty pay for themselves and I can easily justify the expense.

The downfalls:
It is fairly narrow overall but at just under 20 inches wide when inflated for the standard 20" wide mattress. If you need a wide pad check out the super expensive large/wide version.
