In reply to isabelle. Hi Isabelle, I haven't tried that Big Agnes pad yet but I'll see if I can get one to compare.

I’d be interested in a comparison of exped the ultra 5r and the BA air core ultra insulated. definitely a price, weight and durability difference but similar type pads.

In reply to Leon. Hey Leon, I liked it as it was fairly quiet. I have a Therm-a-rest Uberlite and it's quite noisy on the floor of the Big Agnes tent I've bene using so I have to cover it with something. The Exped seem to be a softer, quieter material.

Hi, what about noise? How “loud” is the mat, especially when you sleep on side and turn around? Thanks

In reply to XP. Mostly likes. It's comfortable. The valves are flat, keep the air in well and are fast to dump the air. The outside rails are slightly larger so they keep you in the middle a bit more. The longer vertical tubes let the air distribute better for a side sleeper. Only downside might be the gaps in between the vertical tubes are deeper that on some other mats.
