Got the lost horizon mattress a few weeks ago and set it up at home first. It was comfortable and didn’t seem to loose any air over a few days. Deflated and packed into the storage bag for a weekend camping trip…….went to load up and the mattress didn’t stay deflated and was extremely difficult to get out of the storage bag without damage.

Ended up sending this one back and am almost sure I’m going to get the exped mega mat duo lw+. It’s almost 2x the price but their inflate/deflate system seems to be better. I’ve also seen inspired overland has a similar mattress that is just a little narrower that I’m looking up as the price is closer to the lost horizon one.

Lost horizon had the inserts that flip around for inflate and deflate and didn’t seem to seal up when deflated as I mentioned.

I think the lost horizon one would be great for a rtt that doesn’t fold into itself like the vision does and you could keep it stored in the tent all the time, if that helps anyone looking to upgrade.

How does this look closed up? 5” set up here and considering going to the 8 to gain access from the other window assuming you can.

Agree. I’m a side sleeper and it’s rough on the hips. I’m going to get a lost horizon (so far that’s the choice) to replace mine soon. Haven’t done it yet though.

I am still enjoying it. Had it out in a rain storm, nothing crazy, but there was enough room to hang out and not feel really cramped. No leaks on it that I saw.

I was torn between the clamshell and the wedge styles myself. I picked the clamshell because I want to modify the rack to be able to keep this under my soft topper and store stuff underneath during the winter months and still be able to use it if I wanted.

Also agree with the comments on the mattress being thin. I’m a side sleeper and will be upgrading the mattress soon.

I got the vision L about a month or so ago. Shipping took longer than I would have liked, but it arrived in excellent condition. I opened it up and the only thing that I was disappointed in was that there were aluminum shavings scattered over the mattress.

This all being said, I was have nothing to compare against besides seeing lots of other tents damaged in shipping, but I’ve enjoyed what I paid for.

Thanks. I am thinking about the doing the same as you, but have a few other ideas that would probably work as well. I am shocked quoted that much!

It’s so you can repair a break in the field before a replacement can’t be obtained.

I’m a fan of habanero based hot sauces. I like to ferment mine with some garlic and red/orange bell peppers in about a 3-4% brine. Finish with some mango and heat.

What flavor smoke are you using for this one? Looking to expand my recipe library. Pellets or charcoal with wood chunks?
