I just did an overnight trip with my son and can say I had the best night's rest ever on a backpacking trip. I am almost 50 yrs old and comfort, especially when it comes to sleeping, is my utmost priority over cost, weight, etc. I have tried most other sleeping pads but was hesitant to pay for the Downmat. This is awesome to sleep on. Obviously, I haven't tested this in cold weather but for pure comfort this pad is the absolute best ever and well worth the $100 I spent on it. Although 3.5 inches thick, it is simple to inflate (I also bought the pump/pillow).
