	Sleeping pad - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In camping, a sleeping pad or sleeping mat is a simple device often used in conjunction with a sleeping bag.
		Its purpose is to provide padding and thermal insulation.
		The simplest sleeping pads are sheets of foam rubber or a reflective metallized plastic material, rolled up for storage.

	Sleeping Pad Ratings, Reviews
		Torso-length sleeping pads that rely on a pillow for the head, and other gear to pad the legs, are another option.
		Two pads from Slumberjack are also recommended, including the self-inflating Deluxe Camper, with more foam at the head, and the large Trekker Longitude with larger tubes at the edges to keep the sleeper on the pad.
		Open-cell foam sleeping pads compress too much and are bulky to carry, air mattresses are too vulnerable to punctures, and closed-cell foam pads are less comfortable and more bulky to carry.

		Sleeping pads made entirely of closed-cell (waterproof) foam aren't as comfortable as inflating sleeping pads, but they weigh less and cost less too.
		It folds to frame or pad a backpack and can also be used for extra padding and insulation on top of a longer sleeping pad.
		The colder the temperature, the more important it is to have a sleeping pad that provides good insulation from the cold ground.

	GORP - Essentials of Backcountry Beds - Sleeping Pads
		While I'd slept on a full-length pad, he had rolled out a three-quarter-length pad that left his feet dangling on the cold ground.
		I share this story not to disparage Rick or three-quarter-length pads, which are certainly a good choice for some people in some circumstances (see below), but merely to illustrate a point.
		The next step is to further refine your final selection in terms of mattress length and thickness based on a personal equation that balances weight against comfort, which tend to rise and fall in tandem.

		The surface is impregnated with a DWR for stain and water resistance.
		The pad's top two inches were flattened (foamless) to allow attachment of straps-not a problem for sleepers less than 5' 10", but noticed by our 6' or taller reviewers.
		When you lay on the pad, the foam collapses slightly to fill in the holes, blocking air flow from the ground.

		The pad is made up of self-inflating foam that provides cushioning and at the same time provides support to even out the bumps and holes that are always on the ground underneath directly under your mattress.
		The pad is very light, easy to pack, tough enough to stand up to some serious beating, and provides enough insulation and cushioning to smooth out even the roughest campsite.
		I tend to sleep on my side when not camping and the Ultralite ¾, like many camp mattress, is simply not strong enough to comfortably do this – so like most campers, I’ve learned over the years to sleep on my back and not move around so much when camping.

		Among the many pleasures of backcountry camping, sleeping on a too-thin backpacking mattress ranks down there with hours of drenching rain, a fifth straight night of freeze-dried food, and blisters.
		Any sleeping pad light enough to carry comfortably is not going to replace my bed at home.

		The trick, we thought, would be to make a good, lightweight pad that fits tightly into the boat bottoms so that they wouldnÂ’t move or get lost if the boat flips.
		It is comfortable to sleep on, weighs almost nothing, and works well in the rafts.
		Because it is a thicker pad when inflated we have found that we don't inflate the seat as full when we want to run harder whitewater.
