Title: Recomendations on air mattress
Post by: actionshooter on August 11, 2019, 08:56:08 PM: I have been using my Exped backpacking air mattresses for ever while car camping and decided I need something just a little more comfortable... Nothing huge just some better.. I still use a 2 man tent most of the time but I am a side sleeper and have been having a lot of hip pain.
Anyone using a pad close to what I am looking for?

They last probably no more than two years before they develope a leak. I usually rotate them about every year because I hate waking up to a flat mattress. 30 dollar range I suppose.

Yes and no ... something I could put on the ponies if I wanted to but thicker than the exped mats... Intex are pretty damn comfy but way to big for what I want.
