This pad is heavy to consider for backpacking. What it is though, is comfortable. I swear it is better than my bed at home. You can't tell that there is ground below you in most cases.

Cheap costco, thiner pad

Purchased the 4ft model for motorcycle camping. It's comfortable. I really like that it comes w/ compression straps attached and it's own stuff sack and patch kit. It's not as plush as the therma rest standard. It doesn't have a lifetime garantee either. It does keep you from the cold bumpy ground. My sleeping bag seemed to slip a little on the "non slip" mat.
