Bought a $60 inflatable pad and my back paid the price all weekend
Took my new sleeping pad up to the Sierras last Friday, the inflatable one that packs down to a soda can size. Pumped it up firm like the instructions said, but by 2 AM I was basically on the ground, woke up with my hip numb and lower back screaming. Turns out those lightweight pads lose air with every toss and turn, plus they sound like a chip bag when you move. I'm thinking about just going back to my old closed-cell foam roll, but has anyone found a blow-up pad that actually holds firm for two nights straight?
