Well, I got mine at Costco and couldn't tell you what make it is - But the kids have utwell ones that they find very good ( you probably wouldn't want the exact ones they have - All pink and flowery).

I find them much better than airbeds, and much comfier than the 'foam' sleeping mats like i used for DofE. Good luck in finding one to suit.

costco is sportura i think

I'm impressed with the Dozer we've bought our daughter.  Long story, but despite the fact that we have 2 Thermarest Basecamps she qualified for a new one.  Anyway she swapped with me when we went away last week, and I have to say the extra 2.5cm makes a big difference, and the pack size is the same, if not a bit smaller.  The foam mats the kids have for Scout Camps are bulkier if anything,

I must say though, I like the look of the Human Comfort 10cm with memory foam topper!

I have been using the cheapo 50mm one from lidl and find it soooo much better than an airbed my only problem with it is they are slightly slippy. When the costco one is back in stock will try them.

Hi Sceptical Camper, yes thats the one, I haven't seen it in the flesh though, it just sounds good. 

As I said, I was impressed with the Dozer I used last week, I liked it much more than my Thermarest Base Camp.

Hi,

Glad to see a thread on SIM's.

We have a Vango double SIM which on the carry bag says that it is 7cm thick. It never gets to this thickness, probably more like half of this and trying to blow some extra air in to it is a bit of a bugger.

Any suggestions, before I invest in something new and shiney ready for next year - I do like the look of the Human Comfort one ....

Martin

Has anyone tried the Obelink 10cm mat?

hlk01, is this the one you have?  Do you know how much the delivery is?  Like the extra wide one too but showing out of stock at the moment.  Obelink look good value with our stronger £ at present.

Yes, that's the one. I wanted the EW but was told they were out of stock for the rest of the year so ordered the standard one. The EW came in stock about a week later. So it might be worth emailing if you really want EW. OH gave it a big thumbs up too. before i bought this I tried a Costco 5cm, 2 x Costco 5cm's one on top of each other and an Airic. This is something else. When you first open it up and undo the valves it sounds like a jet engine whilst it inflates. LOL, my Oh said when he first saw it , "that's not a SIM it's an airbed".

As I said earlier, it's not slippy at all. You can add extra puffs , as per the instructions, but I found it much more comfortable to lie on it and let a bit of air out.
