sleeping pads

what do you guys use? foam or inflatable?

[Doug]

Not at all. It's made by Glaciers Edge, bought at Fred Meyers, (a local all in one store) for $14.

I use the Big Agness Clearview inflatible pad: http://www.rei.com/product/763900

It's super comfy and weighs under a pound. Rolls up to a very small size. Only trouble is it's not insulated so it can make for cold nights when the temps dip into the 30's. Above 40 degrees it's fine.

I'm looking forward to trying the NeoAir pad due out next month:

Made by the ThermaRest folks it's also super light but has some insulating qualities. Expensive though.

Thermarest and a $5 foam mate. Works great and I never want to get up. It's light and not too bulky. Having the foam mat holds up my pack on put on the ground.

I just converted to the Exped DownMat Pump 7. I have back problems and have trouble sleeping through the night. It should help. I'm having troubles justifying the weight. It's 1068 grams. But in the end, I get a bad back sleeping on just a thermarest. So I had to do something.

I heard that getting an inflatable pool pad is cheaper, lighter, and better as long as your sleeping bag is decent.

That's a good idea. I'll recommend that to people. I guess it could get noisy and sweaty though.
