The Nemo Tensor Insulated Sleeping Pad is definitely one of the coziest pads for side sleepers. Unlike some of the other sleeping pads on this list, the Ether Light XT Insulated Air Sleeping Pad is also available in not only different sizes, but in different shapes as well, offering both mummy and rectangular models. The Ether Light XT Insulated Air Sleeping Pad also only weighs 17.3oz for the regular size, which is lighter than the Big Agnes Q-Core SLX Sleeping Pad while still being a half-inch thicker and having the same 3.2 R-value. What makes the Sea to Summit Ether Light XT Insulated Air Sleeping Pad great for side sleepers is that it is 4 inches thick! That’s a lot of cushion to protect our bones! Additionally, the regular pad is 21.5 inches wide, so the extra 1.5 inches can be beneficial for giving you more space to roll around. Why this sleeping pad is great for side sleepers It was hard to put this one behind the BA Insulated Q-Core SLX, but the separating factor was the price, as the Ether Light XT Insulated Air Sleeping Pad has a higher price, with the regular costing ~$190. The standard Ether Light XT, while having equal thickness, only has a 1.2 R-value, which is fine for summer camping, but you’ll probably want a little bit more warmth during the cooler months. Again, the insulated version of this pad makes it over the non-insulated solely because it is more suitable for 3-season camping. Next on our list is one of many great pads from Sea to Summit, the Ether Light XT Insulated Air Sleeping Pad. At only around $150 (regular-sized), the Q-Core offers a great balance of thickness, warmth, and weight. It offers a 3.2 R-value and checks in at only 18oz for the regular-sized pad which is pretty lightweight considering how thick it is.Īnother plus is that the Insulated Q-Core SLX Sleeping Pad comes in wide sizes, which can be advantageous to side sleepers who tend to turn from one side to the other during the night, helping you stay on your pad without the fear of rolling off onto the cold ground.īut what puts the Insulated Q-Core SLX Sleeping Pad on top of this list is what you get for the price. The Insulated Q-Core SLX Sleeping Pad is great for side sleepers because it is 3.25 inches thick with 3.5-inch outer chambers to help keep you from rolling off. Plus, it only weighs two more ounces for a regular-sized pad. This insulated version outshines its sibling though because the R-Value is higher and fits well into the range of 3-season sleeping pads. The Insulated Q-Core SLX Sleeping Pad is one of several great sleeping pads offered by Big Agnes, which includes the regular Q-Core SLX Sleeping Pad.
