Andes explora 5cm from Amazon. Works a treat and for 25 pound you can't go wrong. Even comes in a nice khaki green if that matters to you.

Had one of the thinner ones and it was ok, treated myself to an Exped Megamat10 and its fantastic, adjust the firmness to suite yourself, folds up in bed with bag and as comfy as being in bed at home.

Can you buy a double SIM
In reply to Post #20
yes you can
yes you can
One point about cheap SIMs
as opposed to the more expensive back packing type SIMs is the fact some of them will get lots of condensation and make your bed wet also in warm weather you will sweat like a rapist ! as they get too hot
this does not seem to happen with the expensive ones they must be breathable ?
so IMHO in this case you get what you pay for

I'd go along with that Gerry 👍
I forgot to.say that I've bought two Vango mattresses, both of them went on the valve. I've never used the Mountain Equipment ones, although I've got one of their GoreTex bivvy/tent bags from the early 90's and that is that absolute nuts, proper bit of kit that 👌

Same bought it based on Gerry's advise, its a great bit of kit as long as you do not fully inflate it as mentioned, game changer and money well spent, for once.

wish id read this before i bought one, I bought the mountain equipment Helium 3.8 , I use a Fox flatliner bed and this sim is tapered and quite a bit narrower than the bedchair itself. i can lay on it on problem but if i move much in my sleep i would slip off it and end up half on it half off. Its just too narrow. My fault for not checking dimensions. Gonna try to send it back and get a wider one. Hope this helps someone if you do choose one.

EH ?
my Trakker ELS that I originally bought the Helium 3.8 for is W88cm wide
isnt YOUR Fox bed only 84cm wide ?
my chest size and weight was 50" chest and 17b stone at the time of purchase !! The Sim fits INSIDE the raised edge so cannot and does not move ?
and completely impossible to slip off it as there is no were to go unless you fell on the floor !
so I really cant understand your post mate UNLESS you have a wide bed version ???

Yes it is, i have both. The glacier 5.0 fits my wide sp bed perfectly. It dosent taper off at the bottom either like the 3.8

I have had a problem with overheating for ages.
I don't mind buying a much more expensive SIM if it really stops the over heating?
