Best praise vs top criticism for Exped MegaMat 10

Best Praise

+82 pts

“Exped Megamat is the most comfortable sleeping pad available. Genuinely better than most real beds. However it's extremely bulky, so really only useful if you're camping out of a car.”

Top Criticism

+5 pts

“for what it's worth we bought a megamat and a losthorizions off amazon, and ended up returning the megamat. the losthorizons mattress is half an inch thicker, just as comfortable, and half the price. only drawback is that the bag it comes in (which doubles as a pump) is floppier and less intuitive to use.”
