Great For

Car camping, front-country/backpacking and campers who prioritize plush comfort (especially side and stomach sleepers) and couples who want a double pad option

Not Ideal For

Ultralight thru-hiking or winter/backcountry trips where pack weight and high R-value are critical

Plush 3.5" loft with body-mapped 3D baffling provides exceptional side/stomach sleeping comfort and a raised pillow baffle
Relatively heavy and bulky compared with ultralight pads, making it a poor choice for long thru-hikes

About This Gear

The NEMO Quasar pad provides comfort on any adventure. It packs down to a very small size and is incredibly lightweight, making it perfect for car camping where cargo space is at a premium. However, there's no foam in this pad, so it's a step down in comfort and insulation compared with the larger foam-based pads.
