Foam sleeping bag pad

[hove102]

Going from a Subaru to a Jeep means effectively halving your inside-vehicle storage space. That being said, I don't really have room to carry a big, folding foam pad to put under my sleeping bag. Does anyone have any recommendations for a comfy, reasonably-priced roll-up foam pad to help save my back from sleeping on the ground? Weight and size are aren't as crucial as comfort is.

EXPED mega mat not cheap but #1 in comfort, it will be the last pad you will ever buy. You will not hear one bad thing about them and I have never seen a used one for sale.

Yes. I'm a big fan of the Thermarest Basecamp style (there are several different ones). I've had mine 10 years and it's held up great even in Iraq.

I know REI is not popular in these parts, but i have their 3" self inflating pad. about 8 years old, and i sleep better on it than my bed at home. it lives fully deployed in the back of the truck almost year round for lunch time naps

While not a sleeping pad have you seen these to help with your gear storage issues: http://www.quadratec.com/products/14045_101X_PG.htm I will sometimes take my CJ5 out wheeling so I feel your pain with gear storage space.

These are awesome! I had no idea they existed. Might have to grab a set if I need a little extra space.

I second the Exped MegaMat. $200, but after the first night you will know it was worth it. It self inflates when your un roll it. Finish airing it up with the cool hand pump.

I just got back into backpacking and my needs have changed. I bought a Helinox Cot 1. It rolls smaller than a sleeping pad. I have spent a few nights on it. Expensive, but worth it. It only weighs 4lb and is very compact

I third the EXPED Megamat. I have the EXPED Megamat Duo in my ARB RTT and its very comfortable.
