Thanks! A down filled mat is on my long term wish list and I am trying to decided whether a Stephenson, an Exped, or a custom job from Bender would best suit my needs. It would be used for extreme cold winter and for my wife the rest of the year who sleeps really cold. From what you said, it sounds like I should take Stephenson off the list.
