Backpacking? If weight and bulk are top issues, then get a lightweight pad, as they are far less bulky than other pads. If you can spare a bit of bulk and some ounces, then a midweight pad does work, as it is more comfortable and warmer. |
|
For Campground Use : For campground use, get a luxury pad. Just don't plan on taking them into the mountains. Midweight pads also work, but they aren't nearly as comfortable as a luxury pad. |

Say "NO" to Foam! Foam pads have two advantages...they'll never leak and they are cheap. But they aren't nearly as effective in keeping the camper warm (one exception, see below), aren't comfortable at all, and are nasty to pack. Just say "NO" to foam! |
|
Remember their Purpose! The purpose of a sleeping pad is to keep the camper warm (primary use) and comfortable (secondary use). Thicker pads keep the camper warmer because there is more air between the ground and camper...thus insulating the camper from the cold ground. |
|
Sleeping in the Snow? If so, you want to get a luxury pad...as they will provide far more warmth than any other type of pad. And to heck with the weight and bulk. There are also some specially designed foam pads (not cheap army surplus pads) that work well for winter camping, too. |
|
Don't Forget the Stuff Sack! Sadly, many sleeping pads do NOT come with the stuff sack...it's something you need to buy separately. While it's a pain, do it...as the stuff sacks are designed specifically for the pad (reducing bulk and allowing for easy stuffing). |
