+Ossie Weinert I remember those old mattresses. We used a bike pump to inflate them. I am going to take it out for a spin while it is still somewhat cool at night and see how it does.

I think this aint depands on technology . There is no technology on it we can say its birrliant idea. What if l told you this was made before 200 years ( surley different shape and methods .

+Waw Hiker You are welcome! I'll be trying it out in the near future. I'm still learning how to edit correctly. Thankfully I can watch your videos as a great example.

+Campfire Steve I'm sorry to hear you had so much pain. I am happy to see that hammock camping relieves it! I have high hopes that this mattress will work!

In 30 degrees Fahrenheit it warms in seconds reflecting body heat. It is also quiet material and comfortable in any position. Thank you for watching!

It is the best mattress I've ever had. When it was 30 degrees F, I could put my hand on it and it instantly warmed to the touch. So comfortable.

Solo Over 50 thanks 🙏

Solo Over 50 sweet. Thanks.

You are welcome! It is my favorite mattress.

Thank you! It is warm down to 32 degrees F but cool in summer, quiet and comfortable in any sleeping position.

+Hike with Mike I will be field testing soon while it is still cool at night, (about 50 degrees) to see how the insulation works as well as comfort. I hope it passes the tests. Hammock camping is a whole nuther investment in gear and I'm terrible at tying knots even after all these years.

That sounds like a great mattress for the price!

Hi Renaud, I appreciate your watching and comment! I did a brief review in my Afton State Park video but I've been asked by some to do a video after testing. That is yet to come as we are below zero temps right now. Cheers!

Thank you for watching and your comment! I think you might want to give us at least another 30-40 years before we are "oldies". :) Happy Trails!

+Solo Over 50 I sure hope so at least.. the great outdoors keeps me feeling young.. happy adventures

Me too!

+paul larson I agree, massage therapy is an excellent health tuner. I also do yoga for flexibility. Thank you for watching and your comment!

+nibimocs Thank you for watching and commenting nibimocs!

This particular mattress is sheer heaven. So warm and comfortable in any position...to me. Comfort is different for everyone. For myself, this mattress offered the most comfort and warmth at a weight I was willing to carry and a price I was willing to pay. It also had the unique feature of 2 air chambers so if one had a hole in it, the second chamber would still do the job. The only mattress that would be more comfortable is a winter mattress with down in it but far too heavy to carry in a pack. It is more for car camping or winter camping with a sled to carry it. As far as I know, air mattresses offer the most comfort. There are closed cell mattresses that are known for being lightweight but not as comfortable. Some people can live with the discomfort, others can't. I hope that helps! Thank you so much for watching and your comment. My last video talks about the mattress. I had to use it cowboy camping in a difficult situation. .

+UTE avdelingen - Norway If this one doesn't work, I will get a down filled one. This one has technology that reflects heat back to you but no down. Thank you for stopping by!

Thank you so much for watching and your thoughtful comment. The few puffs of breath is so minimal, I think the anti-microbial properties infused in the mattress will mitigate the possibility of mold. The bag is also a dry bag and a compression bag so I use it for my clothes. I can also use it to do my laundry. I can unplug it to drain the water out and then compress it to eliminate excess water. I use it to prop up my head at night for sleeping. Come to think of it, the bag is now one if my favorite pieces of gear. :)

Thank you for your comment and for watching! The Thermarest NeoAir is the notorious culprit for being super loud. I can only speak for myself but to me, this one is quite quiet. I never noticed the sound and I'm a light sleeper.

It's not quiet, not a by a long shot.

I'm glad there are so many mattresses to choose from. It makes it possible to get the one that works for individual preferences. Happy Trails!

I have the un-insulated version of this mat, which I've used over 100 nights in a tent. These mattresses are much quieter than most mattresses I've "heard" around camp. Thermarests are the usual culprit...super noisy. While it's no closed cell foam pad...my un-insulated is pretty quiet, and I'd imagine with insulation inside it'd be even quieter.

So happy to see you! This mattress is so comfortable and warm when you need it to be. I looked at all the major brands, Thermarest, Big Agnes, Nemo etc. and this one made the most sense for me. It's different for everyone. I liked the dual chamber and R factor.

I have a therma-rest and I'ma side sleeper - its really good but I seem to flop a lot at night. Sure does beat sleeping on the hard ground -technology is amazing!

Good question! To the best of my knowledge they do not make a self inflating one. The bag is so fast. I also use it to store my sleeping bag or clothes that I don't want to get wet because it is waterproof. In addition it acts like a compression sack since you can force air out of the valve after you have filled it. So many uses, it is one of my favorite pieces of gear. Thank you for watching!

+Captain Dan Hi, I followed your entire PCT hike. You might have seen me post as NJG before I changed my name and started this channel. So nice to see you post here and thank you for watching! I have tested this mattress. It is very comfortable and warms to the touch in a second in cold weather.

Thanks for following my PCT hike. Hope you enjoyed it. I'm returning to the trial in June. It's good to see a fellow solo adventurer. I like the name change.

Thank you! I will be sure to watch you in June. Your videos are priceless.

I will have to rectify that and do a special video on how wonderfully comfortable and warm it is. I mentioned it in my backpacking video at Afton State Park but it deserves it's own review. Thanks so much for the suggestion to do that and for watching!

I forgot to say that the Thermarest feels hard and flat with no warming feature compared to the luxurious cushy top mattress of the S2S. The underside is the firm layer protecting from rocks, roots etc. The instant my hand touches the mattress in cold weather it warms to the temp of my hand. Laying on it, I can actually feel the heat radiating back to me when I used it in near freezing weather. It was awesome! 5 stars for its weight class.

Thanks for the update. Look forward to the special vid!

Thanks mattcav001!

+BrenticusMaximus1 Thanks for watching! What a coincidence, I just watched a review on one. Do you have one and what do you think? I am researching down pillows and found the Quixote at REI but they are backordered and GooseFeetGear which custom makes down products. I tested my Sea to Summit mattress in freezing conditions this weekend and it was divinely comfortable and warm.

+Solo Over 50 I just got a blue one in large for my wife and then found a green one in large for $33 at Cabela's and they have the regular for $29 but you have to back order so act quick! Haven't trie it yet

+Solo Over 50 www.cabelas.com/product/SEA-TO-SUMMIT-AEROS-PILLOW-PREMIUM/1780826.uts?productVariantId=3796146&WT.tsrc=PPC&WT.mc_id=GoogleProductAds&WT.z_mc_id1=03836750&rid=20&gclid=CLbQ-_jFuswCFVFsfgodeEILJg&gclsrc=aw.ds

Maybe you and your wife can make a video review after you've tried it!

I bought the Sea To Summit pillow last week. It did not seem that comfortable but gave it another try the second day. The air release valve button disappeared into the pillow so it could not be inflated properly so I took it back. I'm using an REI synthetic down bag and a Thermarest stuff sack (with a cloth side to it) that I put my down jacket in.

I would definitely take the Neo air x lite on a section hike or thru hike if I could sleep. I didn't get it because at the time, I didn't know it had a bag to inflate it. I just found that out 2 days ago watching a review by Follow Bigfoot. I'm going to try it on my next visit to REI. The s2s has two chambers which is one reason it is so crazy comfortable.

Yes I was just wondering. Everyone likes the X lite. I actually prefer the one you bought! The xlite is very loud and sounds like your sleeping on a chip bag, and it's harder to blow up. The STS pad is easy to blow up, deflate, super comfy and durable. Only issue is that it's a little heavy, but worth it IMO

I agree! They are all good for different reasons and of course the Goldilocks factor aka personal preference. :)

Yes, I have a review video planned. This was more of an unboxing video. I did talk about it on it maiden backpacking trip - the one to Afton State Park. It is fantastic in any position, easy to fill, warm down to 32 degrees Fahrenheit - possibly more but I haven't tested it any lower - and worth the weight.

Solo Over 50 oh good! Hope you didn't mind me inquiring? :-)

I tested it and commented on my Afton State Park trip. It is instantly warm to the touch in winter and I tested it down to 32 degrees F. but remarkably it is not hot in hot weather. I do not know how the technology can do that. It is ultra comfortable and worth every ounce. I can sleep on my side and even my stomach. It is simply divine! Thank you for watching and commenting!

I own one as well. I can certainly verify the comfort. I am 85kgs and 179cms and a side sleeper. It is gold. I use a plastic bag with a small piece of plastic pipe to inflate it without any effort at all-cost nothing!

Hi, Yes I have field tested it and it is very comfortable. Thank you for watching and commenting!

Hi wink hvac! I got mine at REI. It is SO comfortable and instantly warms to the touch when cold but is not hot in summer. It's heavy for backpacking but Sea To Summit has lighter ones.

Thanks

You are welcome!

I made a brief review in my Afton State Park video. It was my first trip of the year with my new mattress. I can even sleep on my stomach. Totally comfortable. It was so warm when I tested down to 32 degrees F in my Split Rock State Park video. Thanks so much for watching and your comment Kelly!

I went to REI and was like Goldilocks trying out all the mattresses and this one didn't seem loud to me at all compared to the other crinkly ones but I suppose in nature it is quieter and more noticeable. Earplugs! Hahaha!

Maybe she had the Big Agnes, I did not pay close attention and I do wear ear plugs, never leave home without them. ha

I don't need earplugs traveling solo. :) So many advantages...

The $400 makes my $200 mattress sound cheap. It is so fantastic, I want to be buried with it. :)

I will! Thank you. My mattress was a life saver on my canoe trip this fall. I'm uploading another video as I write this.
