    Question Anyone use this sleeping pad?

    Has anyone used this sleeping pad? Looking for some reviews/comments on it. Interesting design.

    It doesent seem like a bad pad at all for $10 dollars. I would buy it and let us know how it is.

    It looks like a piece of reflectix insulation. I bought a 16"x 25' roll at Lowes for less than $19. It also comes in several other widths.

    Good profit to be had there with a straight edge and razor knife.

    I agree it looks like reflectix insulation on both sides with a pad in the middle.

    Yea it does. But still doesnt seem like a bad buy for ten dollars. My HORRIBLE blue foam pad was that much (my blue foam that I bought was horrible, it ripped the first time I used it). I would still be interested in how well it performed.

    Check at the truck stop near you and see how much those Windshield Shades are selling for. I've seen a guy using two of those duct-taped together. It looked just like the picture.

    From the pic, looks like what I have a ton of at home - the insulation that protected my hubby's cookie dough delivery (he's a school fundraiser). But probably not too far off from the windshield protector.

    I tried a piece of bubble-pack for a pad once. Once was all I could stand. It was uncomfortable and noisy. Thicker than this thing, too.

    The website says 3/8" thick and the reflectix is 5/16" so I believe it is 1 layer thick.

    Their marketing prose is breathlessly excited! A little heavy on the exclamation points!

    While it might well do an adequate job of preventing loss of body heat, it sure doesn't look like much of a sleeping "pad". Especially for a side sleeper.
