Mixed feelings on my new inflatable sleeping pad after 3 rainy nights

I picked up a name brand inflatable pad on sale for $89 at the REI in Denver. First night it felt great, so light I forgot it was in my pack. But then we got rain for 3 nights straight and the ground was cold. The pad kept me off the dirt but I woke up stiff both mornings because it lost air overnight, even though I couldn't find any leak. My buddy's foam pad kept its warmth the whole trip, no fuss. Am I doing something wrong with inflatable pads, or is this just how they are? Should I try a different brand or just switch to foam for good?

Are you sure you're not just sleeping on it wrong, because inflatable pads are way better than foam if you actually know how to use them? Sounds like user error to me, not a brand problem lol.
