Obviously the 9cm version should be more comfy, but might the 7cm version be comfy enough? I'm 15st, 5' 11", 80% side-sleeper, 20% back. 9cm is €50 dearer than 7cm, and I've just been spending too much on non-essential stuff lately, so that €50 matters. Need the Exped before HUBB at the end of June.

I have the 7 Down mat. Its fine, but then I'm only 73kg:D
It will just need more air for your good/ample self.

I do find them a bit narrow though. Get the L and try before you buy.

You said you had spent too much on non essential stuff....comfortable sleeping is VERY essential and worth the extra 50 quid..........but you knew that anyway!:D
 
I have the UL 9 LW and used it for a week in April - it's extremely comfy. The one you're after should be the same. Outdoor GB has it for £103. Postage to Ireland - £9. I found during that week that if I let a wee bit air out while lying on it, it was even better.

Also - I bought a Cocoon Air Core pillow from Alloutdoors and it's very good too. Used it last weekend in my bed vs my Tempur pillow and I had a great nights sleep. Not too dear either....

Gerry's correct - a good nights sleep is very important.

A good night's sleep is of course important - more important than some of the stuff I've bought recently. Doesn't change the fact that I've over-spent on less important stuff... :blast

At that price from OutdoorGB, and using my Parcel Motel address, the 9 is around the same price as the 7 from most places I found online.
