| What do you sleep on? Do you just sleep in a sleeping bag and make the best out of the hard ground, or do you like to bring something like a foam pad or an air mattress? I'm a weenie, and I have to have something soft to lie on.
When I was a kid, we went camping a lot. My dad has a bad back, and he found an enclosed hammock with a roof that he slept in. It was actually very comfortable and it kept the bugs out!

| We just use our sleeping bags. I will say as I get older though I wouldn't mind having an air mattress. Getting up in the morning can be fun when your back is sore

| A hammock sounds just the thing. It would be so restful and so much fun to swing in a hammock between two trees, with enough space between the leaves to look at the beautiful stars! I might even give up my soft mat under my sleeping bag for a hammock.

| I remember the time that we camp out. We were sleeping on one of the sleeping bag that my friend has brought. I don’t have one.

| When I was a teenager, I could stand just using a sleeping bag, but not anymore. My husband has a slipped disk in his back, so he needs something softer too.

| We just have sleeping bags. But I like the hammock idea. I've fallen asleep many times in one.

| Up until my mid-twenties, I would just sleep in a tent on the ground with a pillow and sleeping bag. One night, I remember waking up thinking I could feel every pebble on the ground underneath me. Since then, I've used an air mattress.

| Its a great feeling to sleep in a sleeping bag.
I am sure everybody find it comfortable, at least while camping :P
I love sleeping in open air, watching stars and moon.
