I don't know if the NeoAir is the cause or not, but a friend asked me if the cause for my sore and stiff back on Sunday was due to sleeping on the NeoAir pad Saturday night.
I normally sleep at home on a very stiff mattress and have used the 1" x 5' Montbell 150 self-inflating pad last year (only 17 oz), and have been using the NeoAir this year but twice hiking I have gotten stiff/sore back problems in my training hikes and wonder if there is any correlation with the Neoair pad noting being as stiff as the Montbell pad.
What do others feel about the difference between the feel of your sleep after using a sleeping self-inflating pad versus using a blown-up air pad (the NeoAir)?
