More firm slpg pad

[Kelly G]

Hi hoping people might have an opinion about more-firm sleeping pads. I wanted to "do it right" and purchased a Neoair for my first lightweight pad, but I find it too, mushy I suppose. I've tried more firm, less firm, just can't get completely comfortable.

I briefly tried a z-rest but didn't find it thick enough. Is there an insulated air pad out there that is somewhere in-between? Maybe I want a very thick ccf. I think what I'm looking for is something more, firm, supportive.

RidgeRest SOlar?

Try the Thermarest ProLites, "self-inflating" foam-filled. Women's ProLite (66") is 16oz with R-value of 2.8. Women's ProLite Plus is 21oz with R-value of 4.6.

Or maybe try the vertically-baffled air mattresses like the Exped SynMat UL7. Some people prefer them over Neoair's horizontal baffles; you might be able to inflate them a little firmer without feeling like you're going to "fall off" like the Neoair.

Have you tried Thermarest (or other) self inflatable pads? My wife didn't like the NeoAir, so she still uses her Thermarest ProLite.

I have not tried any Thermarests. Super — I think those are the kind of suggestions I'm looking for. Now just to wait for a good sale!
