Go to cold truck camping sleeping pad?

[mrbillbrown]

I’ve used my Xtherm on my decked drawers without any complaints. Planning to try a BA Captain comfort next trip.

To follow up on this:

I bought that Amazon pad and coupled it with a cot. Great night sleeping, better than at home lol

I’ve got a Roll-A-Cot green with a thermarest closed cell foam pad in the sleeve and Teton memory foam mattress on top. I’ve slept into the 20’s with it and a zero degree bag comfortably.

Diesel heater setup is almost complete though. That’ll make it realllllll comfortable this winter!

When car camping I use 2 or 3 closed cell pads and a couple sleeping bags and pillows. Don't need an expensive option for this purpose

 

[Shraggs]

I lay moving blanket down folded then my Nemo or thermarest pad over it

I've never used one but you could look at Canvas Cutter Bedrolls as an options.

For truck camping idk why you'd use a backpacking pad.

I use a LOSTHORIZON self inflating 4.5" foam/air hybrid mattress from Amazon and it has been one of the best purchases in a long time. 100% as comfortable as a regular mattress. R Value of 13.

I use it on a cot, or in the back of my 4Runner or pickup bed, rocks everywhere.

How loud is this bad boy?

I put This topper but 5” queen on top of a piece of supported plywood under a camper shell and slept like a baby. Temps went down to 20. Below the plywood we had storage. It was a bit of a pain getting in and out but supper mobile.

If you're not worried about weight, here's another vote for the Exped Megamat. Better than my bed at home and keeps you warm at ridiculously low temperatures.

I brought a memory foam mattress that fits in the back of my truck. A simple platform that goes to the top of the wheel wells. And then you get a large flat sleeping area. Best nights sleep out there!

Exped megamat 10. Love it.

Narrow twin mattress on a platform. Store tubs underneath so there is no wasted space.

Like some of the posts above the lost horizon sleeping pad is awesome, I used it on an elk hunt in September and it was some of the best sleeping I have had at elk camp : https://www.amazon.com/LostHorizon-...Inflatable/dp/B0DSVSXGHG?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1

To those that have the lost horizon pad, the Amazon page shows it with a weight limit of 220lbs. By the time I get my sleeping bag and other stuff piled on with my I’ll be 50lbs over that. Do you all think that would be an issue in any way?

Exped megamat is awesome.

Id check with the manufacturer, I'm between 210 and 225 most of the year and haven't had issues though

I’ve been using a HEST roll up pad (“Foamy”) for sleeping on top of my decked drawers. Not the most cost effective option looking back, but it’s been great , super comfortable, and easy to setup/packup for a mobile camp.

I use an Exped 8R all the time for versatility: sleeping on the ground, on a cot, and in my truck.

The Exped 8 is nice for car camping. Great pad.

I didn’t take time to read everything. I cold camp a lot every winter. Usually every weekend through the end of January.

I have a -10 degree rectangular flannel bag. I use it with a Teton foam cot pad and also put an inflatable air pad under that. I only blow the inflatable up about 2/3 of the way. The increase in comfort is marked.
