Xtherm for wide sleeper?

[Mdfowlman2]

Anyone have any side sleeping experience on the xtherm?

I’ve not owned the xtherm pad, but I have found I prefer a pad that is thick enough to keep my hips from contact with the ground.
A 3.5 inch pad keeps me comfortable, even with my pad slightly under max inflated.

I have. Exped SynMat is much more comfortable. I have to take too much air out of the Xtherm to keep my hip off the ground.

I looked at the exped mats but gosh they’re all so heavy

Take air out or put air in to keep your hip off the ground? I'm 6'3" 200 and have never had my hip hit the ground on any of the X series pads.

xtherm was the winner for me, square and long/wide.. i was constantly battling my arms falling asleep or uncomfortable on the standard neo-air setup. I am 5'10" 180lb and side sleeper

X therm and a near 100% side sleeper. Inflate fully, lay on the mat and deflate until hip is just off the ground. After a few times it becomes a pretty easy and mindless operation. I’ve done this with many generations of Thermarest and other brands of pads for decades so nothing special for X therm.

No doubt there are more comfortable pads out there but for the warmth and the weight, it's hard to beat an xtherm.

I have a fairly wide chest and I have the long and wide mummy-style... it's about 7 years old and still going strong. It's a bit longer than I would like and I could use another inch or two in width but ott it's good to go.

I am a side sleeper and I have the Exped Downmat 9 XP and the Thermarest XTherm. The Exped is more comfortable to me but it weighs almost twice as much as the XTherm. I do wish I would have not worried about the couple extra ounces and bought the rectangular XTherm Max. Had I done so, I might have found it equally as comfortable as the Exped.

Yep. It's a good bad. But for the same money Exped makes a warmer and thicker pad for the same weight. I really like the Exped Down Mat. I sold my Xtherm to my partner.

Which exped are you saying is the same weight, warmer, and thicker?
The down mat is 10oz heavier

Xtherm for a side sleeper here- works fine for me- hunting partner complains it's loud.

 

[Fjelljeger]

I have used my Xtherm for several years with no complaints. Warm and wide enough for my 6’1, 200lb frame. It is my go to sleeping pad for all but a few trips.

They sure are now. I was having trouble finding one the other day. Ended up ordering a exped downmat HL large for a lot cheaper than an xtherm large.

I've seen them on shelves at several places just in the past week or so

Take a look at sea to summit ether light. I use a rectangular wide. 4 inches thick. My xtherm has been sitting in my gear closet since I bought this.

I have slept multiple nights on both an Xtherm Max and Exped Downmats (7 & 9). The Xtherm Max was wide enough, warm enough for what I was doing and much lighter than the Expeds. The Expeds were thicker, more comfortable for me (side sleeper at least part of the time) and the difference is signficant enough that I always carry one of the Expeds in place of the Xtherm for myself. For what it is worth, my teenage son doesn't seem to notice the difference between them but I do.
