The Tuo Luxury Sleeping Pad from Nemo brings a new level of comfort to the sleeping pad. Literally. The Tuo sleeping pads have a thin film inside that divides the pad into two separate airtight levels, each with their own valve. Not only does this give you complete redundancy in the event of a puncture, it means you can inflate the base layer firm for protection from rocks and roots and keep the top layer partially inflated for maximum comfort. Enjoy the full 2.3" thickness of Tuo Luxury sleeping pad or save precious ounces with the 1.6" thick mummy-style Tuo Standard sleeping pad. A 2/3 length version of Standard called the Tuo Cub is also offered. All models include a stuff sack and repair kit.
Purchase USD$45 or more and get free shipping. The Nemo Equipment Tuo Luxury Sleeping Pad is available through Altrec.com.

Excellent sleep pad
comfy and clever, albeit not a dramatic difference from other pads. I would definitely recommend.

Comfort with caveats
Bottom line- the redundancy in design is worth the resulting comfort and higher weight. At 3.6# it's not unnoticeable- especially compared to a Z-lite at 10oz. Having the two separate air chambers increased comfort substantially and if you got a hole on one side you're still covered. Comes with its own bag. Rolls to the size of 1.5 footballs in size. Insulated very well with overnight temps dropping below 28 degrees. I'd rather train to be able to carry the extra weight so I get a better nights sleep. Pay close attention to footprint of tent. Two of these will not work in my Nemo Morpho 2P. You'll need to get the TUO Lite since the Morpho 2P has a tapered footprint. No big deal since I had planed on using it only for me. Pad didn't ever slide out from under me and I move around a lot while I sleep.

Light & comfortable
First impression: The two chamber design seems to be a winner for best comfort. The lower chamber may be inflated firm to eliminate the pressure points created by stones and roots and the upper chamber can be inflated to suit individual preferences. The valves, the straps, and the carrying/storage bag are designed very well. The fabric looks very professional and seems to be sturdy. The packed sleeping pad is very light. I think it beats the REI and Thermarest sleeping pads, but I will have more to say in the fall after testing in the real world.
