NEMO - Roamer Insulated / XL Wide

Nemo Roamers are crazy comfortable and can be fastened together to make a double bed. You get the benefits of being able to share body heat without the downside of the trampoline effect when one person shifts position.

Nemo makes the best sleeping pads on the market currently. They test the best and have the best weight to r value ratio.

I upgraded from an older therm-a-rest to a Nemo, it is thick, warm, and comfy but noisy! Here is a good source of info, but they don’t consider noise an issue, so you have to look around if that is a consideration. https://www.outdoorgearlab.com/topics/camping-and-hiking/best-sleeping-pad

I have sea to summits, big agnes, and nemos for the fam. It all depends on the person.

I’ve had it about a year I think. I had the previous version too the insulated. Both in regular wide. Before these I had an Xlite and a S2S ultralight insulated. The Nemo is more comfortable than either for me.

Can confirm. Best night's sleep I've ever had camping was on a borrowed Nemo Roamer. I've even known of a couple people who use it as a guest bed when they have overnight visitors. My favorite part is that they're soooo quiet. No rustling or rubbed-balloon sound when you roll over.

MegaMat clones: ALPS Outback Mat Sea to Summit Comfort Deluxe Big Agnes Captain Comfort Nemo Roamer 3D Thermarest Mondoking 3D REI Camp Dreamer (warning, only a 1 year warranty) Budget options: Stoic Cloud and Cloud Lux. The Cloud Lux is the equivalent to the MegaMat in thickness.

Nemo Roamer is my go to!

The way it inflates, deflates, adjusts, the pump given, the outer materials used, the foam inside used, warranty. etc.

I’d check out Klymit or Nemo sleeping pads, they’re more affordable than Thermarest and still super comfortable and packable. We’ve had ours for a few years now with no leaks or issues.

I have a kid and a second on the way and looking for a solution for all 4 of us can use and snuggle into. This weekend I’m trying out two nemo roamer XL pads that interlock, but I am seriously considering returning them and doing two exped mega mats.

We have 2 Nemo roamer XL pads, they clip together and have a lifetime warranty. Had them a couple years now and super pleased. They roll up pretty small for a self inflating mat too. 

Ditto this answer. We bought Nemo XL wide roamer pads and use them this way with a queen sheet and it's heavenly. Some of the best sleep we've ever had camping.

Exped echo chamber on reddit. I tried exped and nemo and the zempire monstabed at REI. Found the monstabed the most comfortable. I say try them out in-store if possible.

As others have said, an exped megamat duo is probably the best option out there but it's pricey. There's a few from other brands that are a similar design (soft top, filled with foam so labeled as self inflating, etc.). Alternatives would be Nemo Roamer, Sea-To-Summit Comfort Deluxe, REI Camp Dreamer, MEC Reactor. The foam filling and soft top make them way more comfortable than the massive intex matresses or the one you have posted even though they are significantly thinner.

I wouldn't call the Roamer a clone. It's equal or better than the Expeds quality wise, though slightly less fluffy than the exped megamat 15 (but better than the exped 10. Plus lifetime warranty vs. 5ish years for the Exped.

Nemo. Lighter weight and a better R value. Now that Nemo has finally fixed the massive leaking problems they had on the 2022 and earlier pads I can recommend them. Lifetime warranty.

I own and use both. Both are now backups to my therm a rest neo loft bc that big boy is like sleeping in a real bed and is worth every ounce. But between the Nemo and ether light I’d say the Nemo is lighter and comfy, but the ether light is a tiny bit thicker and more comfortable, and the ether light is also more durable. My Nemo is still functional but I did have to patch it up once.

This is the right answer. Runner up can go to the Nemo Roamer. They have a double or you can get 2 XL wides and connect them to make an actual queen.

The Exped Megamat is insanely comfortable and keeps you REALLY well-insulated (R Value of 8.1, most cold weather pads are R-value of 5). Not to mention it will last decades before it needs to be replaced, and it's backed up by a lifetime warranty. All expensive sleeping pads are. Ive had both ThermaRest and Nemo send me free replacements when my pad developed a leak The Nemo Roamer is similar, as is the Thermarest Mondoking. But what makes me love the Exped Megamat is that the top layer feels like it stretches, sp the pad contours to your body like memory foam, just less thick https://www.outdoorgearlab.com/topics/camping-and-hiking/best-camping-mattress#an-exceptionally-comfortable-mat

I couldn't tell you personally. Never used the Lost Horizons, Featherstone, ALPS Outback Mat, Sea to Summit or Big Agnes Captain Comfort mats. Can't afford to buy all of them and test them =) I have used the Exped MegaMat 10 and 15, Nemo Roamer 3D, Thermarest Mondoking 3D and Stoic Cloud Lux mats and they are pretty close in comfort to the Exped. The Lost Horizon looks suspiciously close to the Stoic Cloud series. The Stoic Lux (which is the same thickness of the MegaMat 10) was fairly comfortable. No complaints.

Lighter than the Nemo or Thermarest options, but thinner and less cushy feeling. Also nice that they come in wide variants.

It's huge. I prefer using two Nemo Roamer XL singles (or one double if you are dead set on that format) buttoned together for the space savings and flexibility. They really are just as comfortable as the Expeds, high R value, tough, and come with a lifetime warranty. (For backpacking the bright green Expeds are my favorite.) Edit: Just noticed you posted the medium. The one I suggested is much larger. Yours should be great for what you want!

I did a review here a few years back comparing the exped pads, roamer, REI, and maybe one other. My conclusion at the time was that the Roamer was better (inflation/deflation/compressed size/fabric and lifetime warranty). But things change. I haven't looked at pads in years because I'm still happy with my Roamer.

Nemo Roamer wide sleeping pad. Camping is so much better with a comfy sleeping pad.

I started on the old school thermarest shortie, then a full length, then switched to a big agnes inflatable--which i liked but went through two of them with bad valves. Switched to a nemo a couple of years ago, and love it. It's a little "crinkly" sounding, but otherwise well worth it. Good choice :-)

Yeah. I don't regret getting a fancy Nemo pad because it's at least light and warm, but I've still never had a good night on one. 

Buy once cry once. Thermarest, Nemo, Sea to Summit. They make the best small, lightweight, comfortable pads.

Best night's sleep I've ever had camping was on a Nemo Roamer.

I’m not sure there’s a best one per se, there are a lot of equality pads out there and the one that best fits you and your needs might be the right choice for you. My favorite is Exped but I love my Nemo’s as well. My personal opinion tho is that you have nowhere to go but up. After fifty plus years of buying and using outdoor gear I can say that I actively despise only one brand, Klymit. And that’s all I have to say about that.

Nemo Roamer is another mattress-like sleeping pad. Best night's sleep I've ever had camping was on a Roamer. I know a person who uses one as a guest bed when they have family visiting.

The therma rest and the nemo both haven't high r-value to size to weight ratio. so if you're a to pack light and super warm and want a large pad those are the best options plus they have good valves. Big agnes makes a comfortable as hell pad, it weights about the same as the the other 2 but its r value is about 4. Not bad at all, I sleep cold so i like the warmer matt, the the BA is the most comfortable inho. Alps mountaineering also makes a couple of good ones, but the valves aren't as nice.

Both Thermarest and Nemo pads work for me, and I suspect many others would as well. Regarding shape, I think I actually need *less* space than someone who sleeps on their back. Regular mummy pads work great for me.

That Exped is worth the money. It’s about as comfortable as it gets sleeping outdoors. NEMO Roamer or the BA Captain Comfort are close seconds. The Roamer packs a little smaller, if that’s important in your decision process. Labor Day sales are coming in the next week or so. It’s a prime opportunity to snag any of them for 25% off.

I returned it to REI and got a Nemo
