What is the best sleeping pad? Maybe Peak Elite AC?

And the last one standing is not likely to be the exped if history repeats (ime)…

If you are 25 yrs or younger, the closed cell pad will probably be fine and costs a fraction of the fancy pads. I wish I could still get by with just the closed cell foam. I now sleep on a fancy pad because I like to feel good when I wake up. I like the neoair because it has a 25" width size that suits my sleeping needs better.

May 11 on wednesday I sent my 4? yr old NON ul synmat in cause I could not find a slow leak (I had to give a few puffs twice a night to keep it up) Wed may 18 they E-mailed me and told me there was a delamination problem that the pad was not repairable. They were out of stock till mid to late june but would give me a downmat or a synmat basic if i did not want to wait. I said how bout a synmat ul he said no problem. I had my mind set that I would most likely put it up for sale after recieving it as I thought that at this light it would be cheesy and I didnt like the idea of the new style inflation valves. Today wed may 25 Fed ex came a couple hours ago got my new mat Hey I like it and I like the valves its not cheesy at all. Just woke up from my unplanned nap. This is every bit as comfy as my old syn mat if not more, is 1/2 the weight 16.4oz on my scale 2 tenths over specs (very close). Im sure its not as warm but its not going anywhere. And I would have to say thats as good as it gets when you talk customer service. 2 weeks from my post office back to my door step Very nice pads top notch service.

Hi Mark,
That is a good customer service indeed! Very helpful post. Thank you.
Was your warranty on the old one 5 years?

You know I haved no idea what the warranty was or when I bought it for sure Im bad about saving receipts or I should say finding receipts I know that I had it for around 4 ? yrs Im not sure

I found the warranty info from their website:

"What is the warranty for Exped products?

Exped UL sleeping mats carry a 2 year limited warranty. All other products carry a 5 year warranty on defects in materials and workmanship. At our discretion, Exped will repair or replace any part that fails due to a manufacturing defect. Failures due to normal wear, negligence, and acts of nature can usually be repaired for a nominal charge."

So you had a defect therefore 5 years warranty but you did not show them your receipt. You could have been past the 5 years. I guess that they are not very picky. They take responsibility if something is wrong no matter what the time frame is.

I could not find the leak even in a large tub of water so I did not know if it was a small hole or what. The rep just said send it in and they would patch it or replace it for me he just said that they wanted a happy customer
