Budget king is the [Naturehike R5.8 Sleeping Pad](https://www.naturehike.com/products/tuye-r5-8-ultralight-inflatable-pad). Sleeping pads are here to keep you warm and insulate you from the ground. That's the one item you shouldn't skimp on.

Seconded, I got the 5.8R and it’s amazing. Was about 110€ and i love it. Comes in under 600g too!

If you can sleep on the Xlite comfortably, it is the best pad (excluding comfort). It has a great warmth to weight ratio and the noise on the new NXT versions isn't that bad. Ear plugs work. The Naturehike 5.8 is a great affordable option. The Exped Ultra 6.5R and Nemo Eclipse are the two best all-arounders. I have a video comparing the top UL pads coming out this Friday.

Some of them are salty for a bit but that fades pretty quick. Most take the feedback on board and improve. I usually send a brand my quick pros/cons list after testing a product, mostly so that I can address any user errors or identify manufacturing defects. But brands know what's coming and appreciate the opportunity to have a dialogue, even if it is about a 1/10 product they made.

I do get gear sent to me by companies. Almost 100% is sent by companies. I disagree about affiliate links. I've heard the "free gear" and "affiliate links" argument for bias but I don't think those or some of the other arguments I hear make content featuring those things any more biased than content that doesn't (for a variety of reasons I could get into if interested). Even more important, the main reason those things don't matter is that my entire business (and the business of most review outlets) is based on trust. Regardless of bias or no bias, an issue with a sleeping pad is an issue with a sleeping pad. If I consistently make incorrect assessments (again, regardless of bias or not), my content loses all value to my audience and my business fails. **I would be more worried if you had said "he consistently gets it wrong with his assessment of gear"**. I'll finish off with the fact I think it is impossible to avoid bias, so you might as well focus on creating accurate and valuable information instead of putting energy into trying to avoid bias.

Get one from Nature Hike. We use **[Nature Hike Ultra Light Sleeping Pad](https://s.shopee.ph/8Kh5Xzq2oF)** para hindi ganoon ka hassle and kabigat dalhin. Even sa tents namin we always opt to choose UL. Portable rin ng storage niya maliit lang talaga. But, still your choice. Okay din if yung automatic na bilhin mo para hindi na kayo mahirapan mag inflate. My friend have it, yung **[Nature Hike Automatic Inflatable Pad](https://s.shopee.ph/4ArWaUxfp3)**. Mas thicker siya and mas may cushioned of course, compared sa UL.

These were decent a few years ago before the Chinese OEMs upped their inflatable game. Kilos/Trekology/Naturehike/etc are a better value That being said, Klymit does list ASTM R-Values now unlike some other budget pad producers which still use their made up ratings Intersting fact, Klymit also makes the Cabelas/Basspro branded inflatable pads
