The big green sleepy machine, my vintage thermarest (tm) falls or rolls into
this category.  Fits handily into the fauxwesty too.  (1989 Colt Vista).
Self inflating, not too noisy.  One of our former esteemed members uses a

snoresville.

Airy, warm, reminiscent of your favorite sheep.  Not a baaahd solution if
that's your BenT.

Pensionerd.
