Yes but when I store it at home I keep I don't squeeze all the air out of it, I'm not sure if that's essential but it's what I do, I don't like the idea of it being squeezed tight for most of the time.

I use a thermorest verture , I have to inflate it myself but I prefer it
as it deflates very easily
Little bit expensive though, but worth it 👍🏻
Would it still qualify as a Self-Inflate-Mat ?

Wychwood Tactical X compact and sim is an excellent choice.
I am 6 foot tall and almost the same wide, weighing 15 stone.
As said before, a helium 3.8 mat on this bed is comfortable and still light

I use the Vango Comfort Grande, it's 7.5cm thick and very very comfortable, well worth a look at, it's around £50.

I have one from Decathlon £ 17.99: Quechua Forclaz 400 x
Can't say anything wrong about it and use it with a fitted sheet over it

. ..I've got a a cheapy Adrek XL (3cms) and its currently lasted a 48hr sesh every week for the last 6months . . .has stayed on the bedchair folded with sleeping bag in between sessions and has never needed additional manual inflation . . .

At 61cms fits a 'Standard' bedchair perfectly (between the perimeter padding) and doesnt move / shift about when in use . . .I sleep on both my back and side.

I use it all year initially I bought it for warmth on my back
and was worried in the summer it would be sweaty and wet like the cheap ones but its brilliant and can be used all year

I have a thermarest 3/4 length and it's ideal.
Id say the 3/4 length is a better option as with a full length the areas of greater body mass will push the air down to the foot end and the air padding wont be as efficient.
The 3/4 sim cushions the shoulder and hip areas better, essential for side sleepers, and will also ensure the main body areas are better supported.

I have an Avid Benchmark X. In the interest of reducing weight and bulk, I'm considering removing the memory foam mattress and replacing with a SIM.
Sensible, effective?
