[at-l] sleeping pad preference

Hi all (lurkers too),

The recent post about Thermarest mattress and such got me thinking
(really). I wonder what kind of pad everyone prefers and why.

I like closed cell, I find they take the "points" off rocks and roots.
All so they don't deflate in the middle of the night.  :-)

I use one of the old style 1/2" stiff blue foam pads (full length) when
going light and one of these with a new style 3/8" soft foam (3/4 or full
length) on snow or overnighters where weight's not as critical. I had bad
luck with "blow up" mattresses in the distant past and haven't tried one
in over 20 years, maybe they're better now.

What do you use?
