Two-person camping pads?

more_vert
I have been doing a lot of car camping, with day hikes lately. We have a pretty good set up with two pads strapped together, and a large sleeping bag laid over top like a quilt. However, now back down to one air pad, and was looking at buying a two-person pad versus another air pad.
The advantage of this is that if we go backpacking we can use individually, or loan out to friends too. However, there is still an area with not much padding in the middle where the pads come together. I was curious if anyone has used a two-person pad and could share their experience, i.e. is it much better/worth it, did you decide it was too hard to blow up, or any other comments?
The ones I have found, based on a Google search, were some by Exped (https://www.rei.com/product/113720/exped-megamat-duo-10-sleeping-pad), or a lightweight version (although I don't think I would need one for backpacking, so not sure on the advantage: https://www.rei.com/product/113718/exped-synmat-hl-duo-sleeping-pad), and Klymit (https://www.klymit.com/double-v.html). I didn't want to start a poll, since I am not asking which is 'best', but more curious on if these make sense for a couple, versus just keeping two smaller, separate pads.

The Nemo Cosmo Insulated 50L pad is 76" x 50" x 3.5" and insulated. Very plush, but also nearly 4 pounds and $220. So, it's an option but on the heavy side for backpacking.

My wife and I use the Klymit insulated two person pad for backpacking. We love it. Pretty luxurious for backpacking! The stuff sack doubles as a pump.

Tyson82Thanks, I'll keep an eye out for that if it comes up again.
Polls are a way to suggest drops not really "which is best". If you want to see these items the Poll is the best way to add gravitas to your suggestion.
