I used to use an air mattress but when the air gets cold, the mattress loses its support. Now I just use a foam pad.

This looks comfortable. I like the fact that it has the slip dots on the bottom of it. I wonder why this is more comfortable. You would think the air mattresses would be because they have you up off the ground.

Wow, sounds like air mattresses have come a long way since I bought ours. I don't mind ours too much, they are quite comfy. I could look into the other ones though! Sounds like they are easier to inflate and carry!

In my younger days, I slept in a sleeping bag directly on the ground. Now I use a cot and air mattress as it's harder to get up and down off the ground since developing arthritis in my knees.
