Picked a $30 foam pad over a $180 inflatable for 3 nights in Arkansas, and my back wants a word
Went camping at Buffalo River last month with my brother in law. He had the fancy inflatable pad with the little pump sack, I had the cheap blue foam roll from the Walmart in Harrison. I figured I would sleep bad and get over it. First night the ground was rocky and his pad got a slow leak somewhere around 2am, he was basically sleeping on dirt by sunrise. Mine never failed once. But here is the thing, by night 3 my hip bone was sore in a way that no amount of shifting fixed, and honestly a rock hit different at 5am. So now I am stuck, do I go back to the inflatable life and risk the leak, or do I get one of those self inflating hybrids and hope it is the best of both? What pad do you actually trust after a few seasons?
