I'm agree, I fill my BA pad just full enough to keep my hips off the ground by an inch or so. I'm also a side sleeper and found the 20"
wide not quite enough. I just splurged and got a Exped syn mat ul 7, 26" wide, can't wait to try it. It packs much smaller than my BA insulated air core. And weighs less!!
