Hi Gang!
This weekend, we went camping at my father in law's place (he has a huge land). I barely slept. It appears that my back problems don't really like the therma-rest (the MEC kind) and a foamy combo. I often sleep on an inflatable mattress (1 feet thick or so) and I don't suffer, however I don't want to carry that with me and it would leave us with no room in the tent.
I was wondering if there's a happy medium. I was specifically looking at the OR Gear mats: Either the SynMat 9 DLX (3.5in of thickness) or the DownMat 9 (same thickness). I was wondering if anyone has used these and if they thought they were comfortable? I was thinking of renting one soon and trying it out, if that's possible near Qc City.
Thanks!
