I’ve been down this path before. Tried the Nemo Switchback too. It probably depends on the individual, but to me - it felt like I was sleeping on the ground. I’d wake up multiple times in the night after 2 hours or so and have to roll on my side. Then back to my back because I was aching. Your mileage may vary from me drastically. I’m sure I’m older and have some wear and tear on my body. I’d agree with *zap* on the earplugs if the noise of the pad is bad. That’s what I do. Soft, disposable ear plugs and I’m good to go. Good luck, the struggle is real and I understand!
