My Thermarest Neo Air Xtherm with a R 5.7 is perfect on cold grounddomonic wrote:Ok, no doubt this isn't a new issue but I'm looking to take a lightweight and compact sleeping mat overseas with me.
I have a light airbed sleeping pad to sleep on and want to somehow insulate it from the ground so it will keep me warm in the cold nights.
What are people's experiences with air beds in cold weather. Until now I've always used a Thermarest style pad, but they're too heavy for what I want now. I don't mind sleeping on a harder surface as long as I don't freeze. That ground can get cold, even if your feet are touching it through your boots.
Is there a way to insulate an air mat to resolve this problem?
Is there a very light weight Thermarest style mat any of your recommend?
Can somebody recommend a way to make a decent and compact air-mattress or sleeping pad which will be light and small to carry?
Thanks

Sleeping comfort is too important to skimp on
