Because dragging your mattress along the trail just isn't ever going to be a good idea, the Big Agnes Q Core Deluxe Sleeping Pad is the next best thing. Better, probably, due to its low weight, antimicrobial tendencies, and surprising packability. Once you blow this baby up and lie down on its soft, silent top, you'll understand. This pad has become the standard by which all comfy 3-season pads are judged.
