Awesome service!ĭisclosure: I purchased these Lightspeed Self Inflating Camp Pads at Costco with my funds. We had a slow leak in a pad and they replaced it quickly, no questions asked, and shipped us a new one. I should also put in a plug in for their customer service. THe 2″ pads work well for up until late fall camping the 3″ pads for deeper winter. The three-season, 2″ version currently listed at 25“. The 3″ version comes in sightly wider at 30″. UPDATE: The 2021 versions are somewhat different. Nice to know that the 2017 batch is pretty much functionally the same as the one I’ve used so well over the past few seasons. Looks to be the more expensive blue one currently sold on Amazon. They are still extremely comfortable though, and when you lay out four of them side by side in a 4-person tent (they nearly all squeeze in) it makes family camping very restful! We have two from 2015 and two from this years batch, notable differ vsences in this years model is that they are marginally thinner, and have one valve instead of two.

And, the pad is always located conveniently under my Kia cargo shelf for a last minute truck bivvy, too! I could use my winter backpacking sleeping system, but I’ve realized over the years that sometimes having a large toolkit works better for different jobs at times. When I was in The Badlands this past December, there was no question about being warm enough at night between this pad and my winter camping bag of choice. The R-Value is purported to be close to 9.
