Thinking of buying fat airics and wondering how comfortable they would be for someone who weighs 15 - 16 stone?

I think weight is not a problem. I have a fat airic and the only thing I find difficult to get used to is trying to get down on to it in a confined space. Once down I actually think they are more comfortable than an airbed as they provide more insulation and quite surprisingly I get hot when usin my mat compared to an airbed.

I usually "top" ours up with a bit of "puff" - the website recommends "a few breaths of air" to make the mat firmer.
