Big Agnes Air Core REM Sleeping Pad - Mummy

 Brand : Big Agnes
Item : BAG0012
Big Agnes REM Air Core Mummy Sleeping Pad is the lightest and most comfortable inflatable pad on the planet. The Big Agnes REM Air Core Mummy is made of a durable 70 denier nylon fabric. They developed an I-beam construction to provide longitudinal rigidity and to give shape to the pad. The I-beam construction allows air to flow freely in and out, and reduces inflation time to a quick two minutes. The Air Core Mummy pads stuff to the size of a Nalgene water bottle and weighs a mere 19-24 ounces, (depending on size) yet provides a whopping 2.5” thick backcountry bed. When used with any Big Agnes sleeping bag, the Air Core pad can be left in the pad sleeve, deflated and stuffed with the bag right into its stuff sack. How's that for ingenuity? ALL REM SLEEP PADS COME WITH A STUFF SACK, REPAIR KIT, AND A 100% GUARANTEE.

Big Agnes Air Core REM Sleeping Pad - Mummy



Good Rest At Last
I purchased for my wife as an upgrade from a non-inflating pad. What a difference! I tested it as well and agree the thickness makes the difference in comfort. It insulates well too. She used it in mid 30s°F temps and stayed warm. It takes longer to inflate, but it packs and stores smaller than my self inflater.


Sleeps well on flat ground
If the ground is flat a really good pad but NOT a good pad for any slope to the ground , you wll spend all night trying to stay on it. Bet w/ the Big Anges Sleeping bags that have the pocket that the pad slids into would work great.


Big Agnes Rules!
I finished a Quetico multi-day paddle and portage trip in July 2004. The Big Agnes pad gave me the best sleep ever. Personally, it is more comfortable that my bed at home. I've used everything from cots, to self-inflating pads, to ensolite and its brothers. Big Agnes is worth the 19-24 oz, whether thru-packing or pack and paddle.


Big Agnes AirCore REM
I bought one of these pads and sent it back after using it only 3 times. The first time, I slept in my tent, in a 15 degree (true rating) bag. The ground was damp (outside) and there was snow piled around (not under me). I had never gotten cold in that bag before, but did while sleeping on the Aircore REM. I inflated it all the way, to get me off the ground more, but that only made it more slippery and uncomfortable. The other two times were in cool weather. While I didn't get cold, I did wake up feeling quite stiff. Despite various levels of inflation, I was unable to get comfortable on this pad. While it does pack very small and light, I think I'll stick to my old Thermarest and/or EVA pad. On an extremely positive note, Big Agnes has THE BEST customer service I've ever encountered. Not only did they take the pad back without any debate (even though I bought it from Backcounty.com), they asked me detailed questions about what problems I encountered with their product.


Sleeping on a Cloud
I have been using a Warmlite Down-filled Air Matress (DAM) for the last several years. However, it developed a serious leak around the fill (that defied attempts at repair) and costs $140 to replace, so I thought I would give the REM a try. The price is comparable to quality self-inflator, while the weight is comparable to a thin foam pad. Playing with the air pressure yields a very, very comfortable, conforming mattress. The down-side of all non-filled air mattresses is that they require an insulator as the air temperature drops. I use a layer of foil-covered bubble-wrap (building insulation). This nearly doubles the weight, but is still well less than the DAM, or a full-length self-inflator. I sleep heavy, and will find the ground, even on 1.5" self-inflators. The REM kept me very comfortably off of the ground. The material appears as tough (puncture-resistant) as any self-inflator I have tried. If you need the comfort of a thick mattress, and can't afford, or want the weight (28oz) of a DAM, this is an excellent choice.
