| | Description | Big Agnes added Primaloft eco to its inflatable Air Core pad to create the Insulated Air Core Rectangular Pad. By using Primaloft eco synthetic insulation, Big Agnes kept a few plastic bottles out of the landfill. The inflatable design on the Insulated Air Core means you get an ultra-cush 2.5-inch-thick sleeping pad that helps you stay toasty on chilly nights and yet rolls down to fit compactly in your pack. This pad complements any of Big Agnes' cold-weather bags. |  |

Big Agnes Insulated Air Core Regular Rectangle Apr 26, 2008
By Willwonder I like Big Agnes products, this air pad packs down extremely small and weighs very little. If you're a gram counter like me, get this pad and don't look back. The only thing I don't really like is the amount of time it takes to blow up and the air valve is somewhat awkward to use especially when you need to tighten it down when your done. I hold the valve in my mouth so that no air escapes and then turn it closed with my fingers. Yes kind of gross but I don't know of any other way to do it. Maybe someday they'll have a one way valve. If you plan on using this with your Big Agnes bag with sleeve make sure you go to REI and test it with your sleeping position. I sleep on my side and find that the bag gets a little tight around the hips, if you sleep on your back, no problems you'll love it. I no longer use my Thermarest because the air core pad has made it obsolete. I subtracted 1 star for the funky valve. Hope this review helps.

Best sleeping pad you'll ever own! May 18, 2009
By Heidi J. Raynor I've been backpacking over 15 years, and I love these. I've had one now for 3 years & it's probably been on 6 backpack trips. This one I bought for my 67 year old dad who backpacks with me now and then. I'm 40 years old, so comfortable sleep is important. Get the INSULATED version, worth the money. Lightweight, blows up in 2 mins, durable, packs back up easily, sleep like a real bed.

Get their sleeping bag too. Best system for big people Aug 21, 2010
By E. Berry
"zeetwo8"
I bought the Large pad along with the Big Agnes Hog Park sleeping bag, as I'm well over 200 lbs. The Hog Park is rated for 20 degrees. I also have the 40 degree Buffalo Park bag for warmer weather. The pack size of between the two is significant. However, the Hog Park compacts to 10 x 19 and the sleeping bag just barely stuffs in the stuff sack...great job at making the sack as small is needed Big Agnes.
The 40 degree Buffalo Park compacts much smaller that the Hog Park sleeping bag...but, it is only a 40 degree bag. So, buy accordingly.
The pad fits absolutely perfect into the sleeping bag slot..perfect. There's even a cutout in the back for the air valve...great system.
Now, to the pad. True, you have to blow it up. No biggie and I am willing to do that to get a couple more inches off the ground, as apposed to the Therma-Rest units, which are 1.5" thick at the most. I'm a side sleeper and 1.5" ain't going to cut it.
I've already tested the Big Agnes pad and I find it's most comfortable to NOT fully inflate it. The best I find is about 80% and this makes for a softer feel. I also believe this will preserve the mattress's longevity, as it's not being strained by being fully inflated with a person on top. Just my opinion.
I'm a big guy and the Big Agnes pad and sleeping bag system is the way to go. I am VERY happy with the room to move around and the comfort of the pad being sufficiently high enough off of the ground to isolate me from ground bumps and whatnot.
The pad also packs very small and it's very light, comparable to the competition...
It's a winner

Comfortable, warm and stable Oct 19, 2010
By Vivek Gupta We purchased 3 of these, one for each of our big agnes sleeping bags (all three different sizes), and they worked out great. I liked the way the big agnes system kept the sleeping bag on top of the pad the whole night and I could turn and move without a problem. All three of us were very comfortable with our pads.
The only thing I would wish for is a better way to inflate the pad with a compressor, though the system they have works well for inflating by mouth and doesn't take too long. I wonder if there is something I could make or find...

Comfy, for an awesome night's sleep. Jul 14, 2010
By Tom-Q Pros: Comfy, insulated, big enough for my whole body (i'm 6'1"), packs tiny, lightweight.
Cons: I normally inflate it when i arrive at camp. If your tent partner falls asleep and you get in to inflate the bad, they'll possibly wake up.
It normally just takes about 1-2 minutes to blow up the air mattress (at a very relaxed pace). And it is well worth it. I'm not nuts about the silly valve when blowing (you can twist it about 1/8 turn to hold the air in). It's just a pain in my opinion.
I love my air core. I have used a bunch of different sleeping pads:
From the normal: Thermarest Base Camp, Foam pad, Lightweight foam pads, some off-brand (read: cheap) self inflating one.
To the peculiar: 2 foam mats, roll of carpet, just the ground
And the air core beats the rest of them for sure.
