Longest crash pad?

I'm looking for the longest-length crash pad available to me here in the US. I need to be able to comfortably sleep on it, as it will be my bed for quite a while. I know Edelrid makes/made the Crux model--at 82" long!--but it is not currently available anywhere online on US websites. (It would suit my needs perfectly!) I know ClimbX, Asana, Metolius, and Mad Rock make models which hit around 6 feet long, but I'm a fairly tall SOB, so these won't work for me...

Does anyone know of any other options available? I'm not gonna consider making my own quite yet at this point...Am I just going to have to try to catch the Edelrid Crux on Ebay?

I really liked sleeping on my MadRock triple pad. It's 70 inches I think, and feels fine to hang your feet off the end, or lay them on a pack if you want a footrest. Should work for someone up to 6'2" I'd think. The price can't be beat , that's for sure.

Sir Lands a Lot from Asana is a pretty good long pad for decently cheap

Check out the Edelrid Mantle. It has a unique feature that allows you to open the pad in a normal square shape or by utilizing a zipper at the hinge open the pad the long way so it's like 8 feet long by two feet wide.

Since someone in this thread asked for it, you can buy the Edelrid Crash Pads (Mantle and Crux) directly on their website:

I can't believe someone hasn't suggested it yet...

I'm 6'4" and find anything over 4 feet works. Your calves don't need pampering. The Mad Rock Triple is pretty good though. Good for bouldering too. Or the BD Mondo, which is a little bit shorter (I hear the older model made by Franklin is better, if you can find one for sale).

Ocun makes crash pads that you can zip one way for nice square coverage and zip another way for sleeping on (2m long). I can think of the Sundance and Moonwalk pads, but there are a few more models.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
