By once, cry once
Size: X-Large - 30 x 77 Inches Style: Original Storage Bag
My GF and I camp alot. She has generous hips, I have broad shoulders. It is always difficult for us to find a camping mattress that we can both use. I have a 1" Thermorest I purchased about 40 years ago that I still use when I camp with out her, so I know the brand it top of the line. These are the most comfortable pads I have ever used. We go deep back country in my Jeep, and end up sleeping on all sorts of lumpy, rocky, rooty, frozen, etc ground. They take forever to self inflate. We toss them in the tent, and then add some air after about half an hour. I give mine about 8 puff, I give hers about 4 puffs. ... show more

Skip the air mattresses and go straight to this!
Size: X-Large - 30 x 77 Inches Style: Original Storage Bag
Basecamp XL Update... I have had this for a year now, and I've used it on three camping trips and twice as a take-along "guest bed" when visiting relatives. I still love it, and it's holding up well... As a "car camping" tent glamper, I have gone through three air mattresses that eventually sprung leaks. I should have gone straight to the Therm-a-rest n the first place. Also, since even the "regular" size is so big it is only for car camping, I suggest you go ahead and get the X-Large size. Its 30" width is comfortable for wiggly sleepers. I bring along a twin size mattress cover and sheet sheet, make up the mattress as a "bed," and put the mattress on top of my Ozark Trail zipper cot. However, I have used the mattress without the cot, and that is comfortable also. The only drawback is that the mattress should be stored in an inflated state. I keep mine behind an upright dresser. Also fits under a bed. ... show more

Big, bulky, Hefty weight, heavenly night's sleep, warm and plush
Size: X-Large - 30 x 77 Inches Style: Original Storage Bag
Rolls up relatively easy and rolls out and inflates relatively easy. As it says it's name is Basecamp and that is exactly it's best use. This is not a take on backpacking mat. But for car camping Etc it is at the peak of inflatable mats for comfort and durability.

Longtime Thermarest owner needing a larger one for “glamping”. See pros & cons below.
Size: X-Large - 30 x 77 Inches Style: Original Storage Bag
Pic from left to right: Standard Thermarest - Thermarest XL Basecamp - Invoker 3” model Longtime Thermarest owner for hard camping. Now that I “glamp” more than camp, I wanted “toppers” for the RV bed cushions in my Class B Xplorer motor home. The idea was to have an adjustable firmness topper that would store easily. I intend to store them deflated under the existing cushions. I have a full 77” length in the rear of my wide body Class B. Set up as twin beds in rear, right and left, 30” W each bed with 24” aisle between. Just my setup. I also like the idea of having my old standard Thermarest in case someone wants to sleep on the floor. The Thermarest XL fit the space perfectly. My old “standard” a bit too small. This comparison is between the Thermarest XL Basecamp and the Invoker 3” model. Both are longer and a bit wider than my “standard” Thermarest I have owned for years. I bought both the Thermarest XL & a 3” Invoker for this comparison & review. Pros & Cons: The INVOKER is 1” thicker and has a softer surface. It is more comfortable and less likely my hip bone will touch bottom side laying, if I let air out to make softer. Not really an issue in my use since they will be over other very firm cushions. The 3” Invoker is a little less than 28” wide, 2” shorter than the Thermarest XL, but love the comfort of the extra inch thick over the Thermarest. But the Thermorest XL is wider so fits better in my space. The Invoker softer surface will likely hold a fitted camp sheet a little better than the slipperier Thermarest. Naturally the thicker Invoker does not roll up as small in diameter as the thinner Thermarest. But the Thermarest XL is longer. My Thermo standard size is perfect for camping and on a pack since it’s smaller. Both inflate on their own easily in 5-10 minutes. Both have good 2 way air valves. Both you can blow inflate if you wish to make them firmer. IMHO Thermarest valve is better positioned off the surface so not to be in the way of rolling up. The Invoker valve is perfectly ok positioned on the surface but deep in the corner. However the Thermarest valve is better engineered, positioned & seems more durable. The the only reason I’m not going 5 stars is it’s just not quite thick enough w/o blowing it up a little, and that makes it too firm for me. (I’m such a whiner). I wish there was 4 1/2 star pick. Overall you won’t be disappointed with the Thermarest XL. I intended to pick the best and return the other, but I’m keeping both! ... show more

Very Comfortable, Even for Side Sleepers
Size: Large - 25 x 77 inches Style: Original Storage Bag
I used this sleeping pad for probably a total of ten nights so far so I cannot speak to its long term durability, but at $100 this probably one of the most comfortable (and not to mention warmest) sleeping pads you can find from a quality manufacturer like Thermarest. The only drawback to this pad is its weight and bulk, it can be used for backpacking but it is quite a hassle trying to pack the pad down to a size where it can comfortably be put on your pack. That being said, this pad is not designed for backpacking, obviously its name (Basecamp) suggests that. If you are looking for a 4-season pad that can do double duty for car camping and backpacking (as I was) this pad will work, but at a significant weight and convenience penalty. ... show more

Good pad so far
Size: Regular - 20 x 72 Inches Style: Original Storage Bag
We've used this pad twice for camping now. Unfortunately, the person who has been using it is my 7 year old son and he doesn't have opinions about things like this :) So, to me, the adult who set it up, it seems like a good pad. It inflates bigger than the other ones we have, and is easy to inflate and deflate. My kid seems comfortable on it, so I'm happy :D ... show more

Easy to use and surprisingly comfortable
Size: Regular - 20 x 72 Inches Style: Original Storage Bag
I got these for my kids to use at sleepaway camp. Both kids (9 and 12) easily learned to blow it up and deflate/store it independently while neither could get their sleeping bag back in its sack. My older daughter was tent camping for the entire week and she slept well on this pad. I only tried in briefly, but I was impressed by how comfortable it is compared to other camping pads of similar size. Definitely would buy again. ... show more
