Hello, I was just wondering whether anybody recommends a particular SIM? I've been looking at the Outwell double (5cm) and the Vango double (5 or 7.5cm). Does anybody rate any of these or can you suggest any other?
I would appreciate any help

I don't use a SIM myself, but I think those that do generally find the thicker the better.

I would think both brands would be good because they are well know camping equipment companies.

Sorry I can't be of more help, but i hate to see the sad faces at the side of unresponded messages!

Yes I would recommend a 10cm one if you can find one at the right price. Mine is Higear but is only a single. OH has a Gelert but again only single.

I didn't get along with SIM's till I got a 10cm Nomad via Obelink. Now using an extra wide one which suits my style of sleeping. Worth every penny imo.

Therm-a-rest Luxury Map, mine is an extra large, to go on the camp bed, and it is very comfy on its own.

The intention is to use the SIM on its own without the camp bed in case I have another person to share my tent.
