They’re both similarly priced at REI. Seems like Nemo is lighter weight, higher R value, smaller sack size. What is the benefit to Thermarest - comfort? Anything else I should consider?
Yes, in theory the Pro should be a little more comfortable, I’ve never used one, but it’s twice the weight and not really a backpacking pad. The Neoair Air Xlite is a more appropriate competitor for the Tensor.
ThermaRest are the best made and most reliable inflatable mattresses on the market, period. I’ve owned basically all the major brands, and TR are the only ones that haven’t let me down. 200+ nights on my personal NeoAir and it’s still going strong without a single leak or issue. They’re the only brand I’ll use or trust.
