Just ditched my fancy $200 sleeping pad for a $30 foam one after freezing my butt off last weekend in the Smokies.
Three hours into a 38 degree night and my inflatable pad had me shivering on the ground while my buddy on his closed cell foam slept like a rock, so I swapped and now I actually sleep warm, has anyone else made the switch back to foam?

Exactly what happened to me. Air pads feel great in the store but that cold ground seeps right through. Foam is the real deal for insulation.

Oh man, I was totally in your same boat! I thought foam pads were for broke college kids or something. Bought a fancy inflatable one that was supposed to be the best thing ever. First night below 40 I woke up shivering and miserable. Swapped to a cheap foam pad and honestly it's not even close. The warmth difference is huge. Now I just bring the foam one everywhere.
