Klymit Klymaloft Lofted Hiking and Backpacking Air Bed, Inflatable Sleeping Pad for Camping with Memory Foam,Green

Pretty awesome. Smaller than you'd guess when packed down. Bigger (wider, longer, thicker) than you expect when inflated. *Super* comfy.The foam adds a little to the comfort, mostly warmth and just a little squish. What is actually really nice about it is that it gives a soft touch and it makes this pad *super* quiet when you roll around or adjust position at night. We have a Big Agnes Q-core in the fam as well, that I also like a lot. But the Q-core is *SO LOUD* when you adjust position—it's kind of ridiculous actually.This Klymaloft XL packs down surprisingly small. If the Q-core packs down into a soda can, this packs down into a football. Actually, it's about the same size as my wife’s regular-sized North Face Cat's Meow bag. It also compares favorably to some of Thermarest's larger backpacking pads, especially comparing weight if not size. Not for ultralight hikers, but you can certainly backpack with it.I do have a couple of things I wish were better.First suggestion for improvement: The Q-core has a superior inflation/deflation system that Klymit should adopt. The Q-core has two ports on the top by where your head rests. One is slightly large with a one way valve for inflation. The other is a large open port that enables quick deflation. The inflation port is nice for blowing in a little air at night to firm it up, or it also has a little button to quickly release just a little air at a time if you over filled and want a little more "give" after you've lied down. The XL's one port is on the back so you have to flip the whole pad over to make adjustments. It does have a similar one way valve with push button. And that single valve pops out on a hinge making for a quick deflation.My other suggestion for improvement is to make the stuff sack that comes with the pad to double as an inflation sack. This is also a problem with the Q-core. Both make you buy the inflation/pump sack separately. This is nickel and dime-ing customers. You absolutely want to use a pump sack because these are basically giant balloons that take a lot of air to inflate. It can be one more exhausting thing at the end of a long day. Putting a little plastic connector on the stuff sack that comes with the pad that locks into the inflation valve is obvious and should be the solution. Charging us $20 for another stuff sack makes me mad. Also infuriating is that Klymit's inflation port is just slightly larger than Big Agnes's, so you can't re-use the pump sack you already have. Come on! Sleeping pad industry, make this a standard and get over yourselves. I don't have to buy different inflation adapters for different brands of cars or brands of tires.Finally, I think it's kind of ugly. I admit I like gaudy colors. Our Q-core is bright yellow. My Kelty down bag is bright orange and my wife's Cat's Meow is bright blue. My Hubba Hubba is bright green. This looks like someone found inspiration in a mid-century trench warfare movie. No accounting for taste.It remains to be seen how long lasting this is. I've used my Q-core since they were released, I think. Several years anyway. I see negative reviews for these air pads' quality, but haven't had an issue myself. Hope that remains true for this pad, and I don't see any reason why not. The XL seems sturdily made based on use this season.So, 5 stars. I almost took off a star for the pump sack fiasco. But this is really remarkably small and light for the incredible level of comfort it provides. Highly recommended.

I saw these things at Costco a few months ago and tried it out on the concrete. I'm about 220-230 pounds, so not a small person by any means. Traveling for dog shows I frequently stay in a tent (cheaper than pulling a Trailer, I'll tell ya), and in two years have gone through probably three air mattresses, if not more. I wanted something I could easily roll up and throw in without it taking up much room, durable to the dogs (four 28-37 pound Brittanys who like to wrestle at night, and who sleep out with me and frequently sleep on my bed/pad), because I'm pretty sure nails have been culprit #1 as far as why the air beds weren't lasting.But sometimes the grounds I have available aren't the most smooth and cushy with grass. Because I have dogs that like to sleep with me, cots were out of the question. That and they take up more room, so I needed something that was comfortable on it's own, without the need for something more. This was it.It's been to one dog show and one Herding Trial that a friend borrowed it for. She herself is good at finding the most uncomfortable places to sleep (rocks, ruts, etc). Even she slept comfortably on some very rutty uneven fairgrounds, and she's about the same size as I am. Sleeping on our backs? Nothing. Sides? Nothing. Stomachs? Nothing. We couldn't feel the ground unless we stood or kneeled on it. The foam on top I feel adds some protection from the dogs' nails, but I do still put a blanket between the pad and my sheets so that there's an extra layer of protection, and during the colder months it helps to add some warmth.I will probably get the double sometime next year, and with a friend joining me for shows next year, between the extra large one I got, and the double, honestly my whole tent will probably be one big comfortable bed.Only thing is I wish it were easier to inflate without the specific pump for Klymit. But, the bag acts as an inflation device, and if you have an old air pump... well... I'll let you figure out the rest. Just saying that much may get my review taken down LOL But the air pump is probably worth it and I'll be getting that later. Less hand cramps, and it's small enough I'll probably be able to put it in the bag with the pad, so I won't lose it.

Five stars for comfort. One star for reliability.My never-ending quest for a sleep solution for the back of my Toyota 4Runner led me to the Klymit Klymaloft Lofted Hiking and Backpacking Air Bed. I agree with other reviewers that this mattress is the most comfortable I've tried. I also appreciate that it's quieter than most other inflatable beds. When it stays inflated I sleep soundly for most of the night while other airbeds usually leave me tossing and turning for hours at a time.The big problem is that it is not reliable with regard to remaining inflated. I've used it for a total of 8 nights so far and three times it has deflated in the middle of the night. That's very poor performance compared to the other mattresses I've used -- I think in the previous 30 or so nights, I had just one instance of deflation.The problem seems to be the cap that covers the reversible valve; it is difficult to seat properly when the mattress is inflated and, if it pops open, it's very easy for the valve to flip from inflate to deflate. It's also a bit of a pain that the valve is on the bottom of the mattress, making it hard to inflate in tight spaces, like the back of an SUV. This valve design seems unnecessarily complex and prone to problems that I've never experienced with similar products from Exped, REI and Thermarest.
