From Backcountry Outlet:
"The Therm-a-Rest Expedition is todays standard for the all-around self-inflating mattress. Providing an optimal combination of comfort, warmth, and weight, the Expedition mattress is best suited to those who split their time between comfortable car camping and week-long backpack trips."

From RockCreek:
"The Therm-A-Rest Expedition camping mattress offers the best combination of comfort and compactness. The Expedition is versatile enough to be used for everything from car camping to a backpacking trip through the Wind River Range. The 1.75" open cell foam padding is the thickest available in the Therm-A-Rest Trek and Travel Series, but a new die-cut foam design helps reduce the rolled volume and weight, making it a better choice than the original Therm-A-Rest Standard mattress."

"The Expedition pad offers a good balance between thickness and weight. I'd rather carry a few more ounces if it will make me more comfortable.

However, I'm mostly a side sleeper. I have found that there's not enough between the ground and my hip with this pad."

"Bought this to replace a foam pad I have used in the shelters on the AT for a number of years. It really takes the stiff out of the wooden beds in the Smokies. I got the short version for the summer months when comfort and light weight is more important. I will certainly get the longer pad for the winter to insulate my entire sleep system from the snow."

"So far so good. It's very comfy, but don't over-inflate. I've found that if you let it fill up for quite a while, you actually might want to let some of the air out before you sleep, because it may be too firm. I suppose it depends on your preference. Very warm, too. Give it a go."
