Built for Comfort and Speed
I am 6'3 220lbs and have never had a good nights sleep on my Thermarest. For me Thermarests are either completely hard or if I let out a little air for softness, a hip or tail bone pokes into the ground. I blew up the Big Agnes and tried every sleeping position; results were complete comfort. It is also almost a pound lighter (i.e. speed) and packs about half the size.

Pretty Good
In comparison to other insulated air mattresses this one is pretty good. I was warm and pretty comfy but this mattress lacked traction and so I found myself sliding off it all night long and would wake up on the cold ground. If your sleeping bag has a pocket to put it in it will eliminate this problem, as would bivy sack I would assume. Overall, Pretty Good.
