Which one, please?

That has a very low R value, so I suspect a simple air-bed. Not a criticism as that's fine in the warm, but if you want insulation from your mat that's where paying more can get you more.
We are of course setting ourselves up for "commentators curse" here, but my experience is much like yours, aside from my original T-Rest being over 30 years old. It's only puncture was a hot spark from a fire landing on it, which had I not been using it as a chair by a large camp fire wouldn't have happened.foxyrider wrote: ↑12 Oct 2023, 8:41pm following this thread suggests i'm either very lucky or you lot abuse your sleep mats much more than me!
Yes i replaced my self inflating Thermarest with a NeoAir but that was ten (?) years ago and only because the Neo was half the pack size and weight, the self inflator is now almost 20 years old and still going and the Neo has (touch wood) defied the P fairy and despite being breath inflated shows no sign of lurgy inside.
Something's wrong, but I don't know what. Maybe you're just unlucky?
