Went to a Exped several years ago a great sleep. Most likely would have gave up tent camping with out it. |

| check out the pads from big agnes. they make some that are a bit oversized, but of course bump that will up the weight. They are best used in conjunction with their bags. |

| I use the Thermarest Neo Air, in conjunction with a Thermarest Z-lite. I tend to sleep on my side, the combination of the two means no sore hips for me. The Z-lite gets strapped to the backpack for the day, as it gets used for an adjustable seat/pad when glassing. |

| I've used one of the Z-lites for years along with a Thermorest pad. A friend who is a mountain climbing guide put me onto the idea. Like already mentioned the Z-lite makes a great pad for glassing and generally laying around. Sometimes I even carry it on a day hunt just for this purpose. It hardly weighs anything.

| I'll do you one better. I use a Z-lite with a Big Agnes Insulated Air Core. It's old man comfy!

| Thermarest 3/4 length with a full length zrest. Two mats makes a difference for warmth, and you can use the zrest when mobile. Termarests are way better on cold ground, they have great insulating properties. I took my zrest, and cut the bottom 2 panels, then affixed some Velcro. That way, I can use the 2 panels as a butt pad, and still attach it for a full sleeping pad. |
