Switched from a cheap foam pad to an inflatable sleeping mat last season
Honestly, I used to just throw a $15 foam pad under my bag and call it good. After three nights in a row at Big Sur last spring, my hips were killing me and I couldn't sleep at all. So I finally spent $60 on a Klymit inflatable mat with baffles, and it made such a difference I actually woke up not sore. Now I can't imagine going back to foam, but has anyone else found a budget mat that actually lasts more than a year?

Sleeping on a parking lot" is exactly right, but have you tried layering a thin foam pad under your inflatable for cold nights?

Made the same switch last year. My old foam pad felt like sleeping on a parking lot with a thin blanket over it. Got a cheap inflatable and now I actually look forward to setting up camp instead of dreading the cold ground.
