After a couple of bad nights’ sleep on my alpkit base mat, I’m looking for something more comfortable. I like to sleep on my side and I found that my shoulders started to hurt through the night after not very long on my side, enough to wake me up.
So I’ve been looking for a while and was coming round to an exped synmat but now I see that Sp**tPursuit are flogging these for £30

Anything not to like about them?? A generous inflated size, a good pack size (smaller than my current base 120) and weighs less than the 180 version of what I currently have.[This is NOT a sly way of trying to get a referral fee out of any of you].
Or any other similarly priced recommendations? Please don’t say Neo Airs, I don’t want to spend that much!
