I finally stopped fighting my sleeping pad and just went with a closed foam one

After three nights in a row waking up flat on the Blue Ridge Parkway last month, I swapped my inflatable for a basic $30 foam pad from Walmart. I used to think the foam ones were for kids, but my back actually felt better the next morning and I didn't have to patch anything. Anyone else ditch the air pad after too many midnight leaks?

Haven't we all been there, waking up on the cold hard ground after trusting a pad that let us down? That moment when you realize the ground feels more supportive than the thing you paid good money for is a real wakeup call. I'm glad the foam one is working out for you, sometimes simple really is better.
