Unpopular opinion: my $12 blue foam pad from a Walmart in Bend beats the $180 inflatable I babied for 3 years
Bought the cheap closed cell pad last month after my fancy one got a pinhole on a trip near Sisters, and I slept better on it honestly. Anyone else gone back to basic foam, or am I just getting old and soft in a different way?
So the pad works for you because it cost less, or because it actually sleeps better? Sounds more like you got lucky with a cheap one than foam being the answer for everyone.
