Thermarest Z Lite vs Nemo Switchback CCF foam pads

Funny you post this. I just bought a short version and am going to see if Incan sleep in my back yard. I find most pads are fine for people that sleep on their backs, and that’s going to be something I have to train myself to do.

I own both.  I did about five blind, lay down and tell me what feels better tests with friends.   (on a concrete patio).

Everyone, including me,  seemed to prefer the switchback.

But everyone pretty much agreed that it is only a tiny difference.

I’m pretty sure I’ve read previous post saying the Switchback flattens out after 25 sleep nights….time to buy a new one.

Outdoorgearlab mentioned the flattening I think.

Hi Mike, I look forward to hear about your test.

Hi John Jay, that’s great feedback, thank you.

Hi John M. and John S., hmmm, if that is true, then I would definitely go with the Thermarest. Durability is ultimately more important to me than a slight comfort difference.

Thank you all for the replies/feedback.
