    Default Lightweight Sleeping Pad

    I’m looking to get a quality lightweight pad. I’m a side sleeper and currently have an older model BA Q-Core (1lb5oz) but want something a bit lighter. Any suggestions?

    Thermarest NeoAir Xtherm. I'm a side sleeper. Works well for me. Durable so far. Warm. 15 oz. Not as noisy as some brands out there. Pricey but worth it.

    Is R-value a consideration?

    Exactly my feelings about the Xtherm. I have the Large size. I don’t like a 20” pad. Quality of sleep offsets the extra ounces for me.

    It will be for 3 season use so an R-value of at least 2 should be sufficient.

    Sounds like the Neo Air Xlite is what you want. Comes in the same sizes as the Xtherm, but it is a little cheaper and a little bit lighter.
