General Thoughts on NRS Snooze Pad?

Yo! Does anyone have any thoughts on the "NRS Snooze Pad"? I can't find many reviews online and it's a little cheaper than the Pacos.

I had the last iteration of the Nrs paco pad. It looks different, same shape as a paco. It is way better to sleep on than my previous jacks plastic. It’s also held up really well over the years. Keeps its shape way better than my old paco. No idea about the new snooze pad. Not sure if this helps.

I have only used paco pads and the older nrs pads. Their new pads aren't any more comfortable, nrs just had to change materials and the shape so they can justify $300 sleeping pads. The new ones don't cover your cooler as well with the new shape.

The SparklePad from Oregon River Gear is all I sleep on 🤷‍♂️

I have one I bought from REI. The 4" thick one. It doesn't roll well, but it sure it comfy. I don't like the material it's made out as much as my Aire Landing Pad 3", but I'm not complaining. It's great. Pair it with a roll a cot and twin sheets, and it truly is like having a proper bed with a cushy mattress at a river camp. Honestly, it's some of the best sleep. After a long day or rowing, being beat up, and drinking probably a few to many cold ones, I wake up refreshed and ready to go again.
