Nope. But I have one of the Down Deluxe ones and can honestly say it is as comfortable to sleep with...as my $5,000 Sleep number mattress.
In fact, most of the time when I travel I sleep on the exped rather than on the mattress/es which are offered. BEWARE: the only negative to the down filled Expeds is that they are fairly heavy.
I already had the Exped Synamt 7 dlx and agree with teh comfort. I went ahead and got the UL as well. Havent used it in the hammock but have played with it on the floor and I like it so far, definitely comfy to lay on and small enough to fit in my water bottle pocket on my pack. Will update how it did in the hammock when I get to go out again.
no, but i'm happy w/ my exped gear so far: alpine poles and tension locks. looking at the poncho ul and the skylight easy atm!
It seems kind of narrow...do you add something to it to keep your shoulders warm? ( for instance, eva-foam wings (a segmented pad extender)?)

I have the Exped synmat 9, its a great pad. It works very well in your hammock. Only thing is that it's a bit weighty and slightly bulky, but you can't beat it's insullative qualities on those cold days. I used it until I finished my down UQ; But if I knew the weather is going to be extremely cold, I wouldn't hesitiate to take it along with me.
Great deal on the Exped 7 Long at MEC, maybe time to pull da trigger, eh.
