We are trying to compile data as to what type of sleeping pad everyone uses.

Here is a link to a very short survey:

Thanks so much.

You should have length options for both summer and winter...
And you need to use 'other' for insulate air core (like a big agnes...)

Used to use an old 3/4 Thermarest (never slept well) and now I have an Alpkit Numo and now I sleep great.

For racing I use an XS prolite. As light as a neo, quite small, and no blowing up when you're exhausted. Not ideal for winter but like I said, it's the racing kit. Oh and a bargain compared to some hi tech options

I have used a thermarest for years but last year I was canoeing in the boundary waters and the outfitter let me use a Nemo Cosmo. I have bought my own since then and it blows away the thermarest. (pun intended)

 I have used various Thermarests in the past but the ones I own are heavy and bulky. This weekend I slept (poorly) on a car windshield sunscreen.
