It was difficult to find the measurements online for the different sizes of these pads.
Here are the details that come with the product when you buy it.
Short: 20" x 48" x 1.5", 1 lb. 9 oz.
Regular: 20" x 72" x 1.5", 2lbs. 5 oz.
Long: 25" x 77" x 2", 3 lbs. 15 oz.
XL: 30" x 77" x 3", 6 lbs. 10 0z.
I purchased the Regular size and I love it so far (only used it once). Very comfortable and lightweight.

 BEST PAD OUT THEREFeb 17, 2010
By R. E. Farnsley
"backpacking bear"
I have a Thermorest I spent twice the money on, This Pad is LIGHTER, THICKER, and better built. I am back to buy another because now my daughter even refuses to use the thermorest.
This pad give great R factor in added warmth, has a large valve for inflation/deflation. It is built like steel and weighs like silk.
I am a 350 lb backpacker and I never touch ground with the support this pad offers.

World's BEST camping padJul 19, 2010
By Linda B.
My husband and I purchased two of these for our church youth trek last week. I'm NOT an outdoors person and was dreading sleeping at night on the ground. We've tried lots of other camping pads through the years including Thermarest, but these XL size pads (77 x 30) meant my sleeping bag didn't slide off the pad during the night. The pads are remarkably comfortable and as a side sleeper I didn't once feel the ground on my hip or side. My husband's a big guy and he also loves this pad - tall enough and wide enough for him. It is easy to inflate (most of it inflates automatically) and easy to roll back into its compact size. Lightweight, durable materials too. Almost convinced me that sleeping in the great outdoors is worth it!

size "long" - best for car campersFeb 19, 2011
By Yago
Right out of the box; I was dismayed at the packaged size, (particularly the width) of the size "long" air pad. The 25" width didn't seem so bad as I ordered it online, and being 6' tall I thought I'd appreciate the extra length, but shame on me for not getting the tape-measure out. The "long" airpad seemed to take up almost half of the space in my luggage. That won't fly for an extended trip to Africa. I need that space for other things. I already like ALPS Mountaineering Air Pads just based on the reviews here, but I subtracted a star for pack size, which I think could be improved upon, based on other pads I've seen. I sent mine back, and ordered size "regular" instead. Being a half inch thinner, and 5 inches narrower, I think it'll pack quite a bit smaller. I don't recommend the size "long" for backpackers or lightweight travelers.

Comfortable and inexpensiveOct 14, 2010
By Ken

I'm a big guy and I bought the "Long" version of this pad. For years I've slept on foam when I backpack. I can get comfortable about anywhere, so it was never a big deal. This summer I decided to splurge on a new pad and what a difference!
Because I'm heavy, I was afraid that I'd puncture (or even burst) one of this little "blow-up" toys. The "Long" version has an even higher loft at 2", making it more susceptible to failure, but I figured Amazon's guarantees would protect me from whatever failure might occur.
Not only did I not have any failures, but this thing performed admirably. It inflated easily. I did (on occasion) blow a few "extra" puffs into it to firm it up a bit. It took up about as much space as my old foam pad and weighed only a couple of ounces more, but the comfort was incredible. The kids and I even set it along a fallen log and used it as "The Couch" while reading and playing games out in the woods.
I was impressed and I'd buy another one.
