Question, how much was your first mattress? How many nights have you been able to enjoy it?

-Snuts-
My first and only air mattress that I have bought was an Exped UL7, and if I remember correctly, it was $180. (It may have been more). I slept on it 74 nights in a row while on tour. I have not slept that well for that many nights in a row, I think, ever in my entire adult life! I am 51. I am not kidding. Recently, I have purchased a new queen air bed for home, in an attempt to replicate some good nights sleep. I have significant back and neck problems due to one leg being 3/4" shorter than the other, and unfortunately, for 35 years after my accident, did not get my shoes altered to include a full lift. It's my fault, and I have and will continue to deal with serious pain in these areas for the rest of my life. I will use it again on tour, in 2018 for 32 days when I ride from Vancouver to the Arctic Circle.
