Sleeping Pad Poll

[Leanthree]

If only because often my favorite gear related threads are just where you get 20 answers on what product people use whether it is stoves, packs, shelters, etc, and I'd like a gauge on what people of such high esteem (in my mind...likely poor judgement...) do.

What sleeping pad do you use?

Feel free to comment on why you like it, and hammockers please note such.

I will start it off as I have a Thermarest Prolite 72" and sleep on the ground.

BIG AGNES insulated air core 72'' which I use in my tent .

old original ThermaRest 3/4 which I use in my hammock.

ThermaRest Prolite 3

It's old, its thin, its heavy, and its uncomfortable in a tent, perfectly fine in a hammock.

My reason?- It costs money for a new one!

Love that Neo-Air. In fact, I loved it so much I bought the new version that is better for winter but heavier. I know the cost is bad, but if you wait everything out a 20-25% coupon will come along. This is nice since I am a gear junkie...but I never pay a full price. If you are a side sleeper, you cant go wrong wit this pad.

Synthethic insulated kookabay pad (19 oz?); got an 'instaflator' (only a couple of ounces and cheap) to inflate it to reduce moisture.

Exped downmat 9 is what I use because as I age being a side sleeper my hips were starting to get sore by early morning. Now I can sleep all night and when winter temps reach zero the down keeps the cold away.

I found I can fold my Thermarest in half lengthwise before rolling it up to a size of 6" diam by 10" wide. Fits into the bottom of my pack next to my sleeping bag, and saves room, does not have to strap to the outside of the pack.

Just ordered the r-5 syn mummy from kooka bay 2 days ago at 16oz and good to 15* its a no brainer. Problem is the wait and price.

My six-section length of Z-rest weighs six ounces and doubles as my pack frame.

Big agnes 72X25. The big boy.

I really like the Neo-Air. Light weight, comfortable and takes up very little space in my pack. I use it year round and have not gotten cold with it.

Klymit Inertia X Frame. Fits in the palm of my hand and 9 ounces for a full length pad.

Neo Air...LOVE IT

Prolite 3 short for ground sleeping. Have had it for years. Good compromise between weight, bulk, and comfort. One of the few pieces of equipment I have not changed over the years.

[Deadeye]

Prolite 3 shorty for hammock or ground. If I know I'll be spending significant time on the ground, I'll bring my BA insulated air core (shorty) instead. Also bring 6 sections (6 ounces) of z-rest for sitting, lounging, extra insulation and/or protection for the inflatables, and as emergency pad if inflatable leaks in the middle of the night (it never seems to leak mid-day, does it?).

Neoair short - 9.5 ozs of comfort.

It comes in pretty handy deflated too... I lay it out and sit on it when I stop for lunch sometimes. A lot more durable than you'd imagine.
