Go to cold truck camping sleeping pad?

[Jason Snyder]

I’ll have to look. I ether got it at Scheel’s or Cabelas.

I’ve been very happy with it. I’ve cold camped down to single digits with it and slept fine. I don’t even zip it up until it gets below 25-30.

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?

I was over 220 lbs and had no issue with it. It's pretty heavy duty

I use a 4" memory foam mattress + A Carpet which I cut to size. Insulation is pretty good, but I am moving to a ground tent for anything longer than 2 nights. I need to be able to stand up in a heated area.

Big Agnes insulated q core with an exped folding egg crate under it if it’s below 30. Above that no egg crate.

I've heard really good things about the Lost Horizon mat. I ended up with an Elegear foam / self-inflating mat. It's comfortable and has a really good r value. No issues sleeping on a cot in sub freezing temps.

Downsides:
1. Almost too hot in mild conditions
2. It's not a bi-directional pad because the "head" end is built up a little thicker. Wish it was just flat.
3. The air valves are on the foot end. This is pretty irritating because I keep the entire sleep system rolled up in a bivy with a zipper that doesn't go all the way down to the foot box. So I can't roll the whole system up without pulling the pad out of the bivy.

Any more updates in the Lost Horizon?
Comfort and durability? Anything else that compares?

Mine is quite comfortable. Slept on it in the back of my truck for a month on a snow goose trip. Wasn’t particularly easy on it as my dog slept with me and it got slammed in the tailgate a few times as well. No issues with it.

Thanks.

Good info about the dog not tearing it up.
I’ll have one as well.
