RidgeRest Classic

I'm 6'4" 360 lbs. I use this Teton sleeping pad [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000P6DJ8O?th=1](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000P6DJ8O?th=1) and/or a Therm-a-rest pad [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HANOZRY?th=1](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HANOZRY?th=1) The Teton pad is not small, but if you are just setting up camp near your car they are great. The Term-a-rest rolls up small enough with my wool blanket to strap on to my backpack and is easy to carry around. It just isn't as comfortable alone.

I don't know what the bed of your truck calls for but this plus a few thick blankets makes a very comfortable pallet pretty much anywhere, ime.

[Exped FlexMat](https://www.exped.com/en/products/sleeping-mats/flexmat) and [FlexMat Plus](https://www.expedusa.com/products/flexmat-plus?variant=42267057029337)\* were available in LW size (77"x25"), now replaced by [Flex 1.5R](https://www.expedusa.com/products/flex-1-5r) and [Flex 3R](https://www.expedusa.com/products/flex-3r)\*, still in the same sizes. [Thermarest RidgeRest](https://cascadedesigns.com/products/ridgerest-classic-sleeping-pad?variant=41316889657478) Large is also 77x25" inches. [Seek Outside Matty McMatFace](https://seekoutside.com/matty-mcmat-face/) is 80x40". [Gossamer Gear Thinlight Rolled Wide](https://www.gossamergear.com/products/thinlight-foam-pad?variant=42879197511734) is 58x25". Mountain Laurel Design Goodnight is available in 80"x40" in both [1/8"](https://mountainlaureldesigns.com/product/goodnight-eva-1-8-foam-pad/) and [1/4"](https://mountainlaureldesigns.com/product/1-4-foam-pad/) EVA. (\*) The FlexMat Plus has large dimples that some people dislike when new. They flatten some with use, or can be covered by a thin EVA pad (Thinlight/GoodNight/Matty McMatFace).

Um, take another look at my post. The second item is the Thermarest RidgeRest. It's popular for a reason (just maybe not *ultralight* reasons). Thermarest also makes 23" wide pads in both CCF and self-inflating, like the ProLite series, for the military.

Depends on your site selection. I prefer the classic ridgerest

Foam is a foam. Be it branded as ThermaRest, Decathlon or random Asian (the only difference I noticed with cheap asian stuff that costs <50% of the Decathlon's price was how quickly it gets permanently compressed). Great but bulky (more of an issue for bikers, not the hikers). I used good old Ridgerest in -5C temps with -5C sleeping bags with no issues (it was still too warm for me) but YMMV.

EXPED! DABOMB! I camped in Manistee NF 6 weeks ago. I put my Exped on two RidgRest pads and two older ThermaRest single pads. It added an extra two layers insulation from the ground and my tent. The ExPed is like a mattress at home!

I've not tried a thinlite over an inflatable, but I have used it as a dog sit pad. I found the material deceptively delicate. My 10 month pup stretched out and pulled her paws back, ripping a section (it's grippy and spongy). Personally, if I was going down this route I'd find something thinner but more durable to rips/tears from dog paws. I use a Thermarest Ridgecrest for her now. Like your dog, she prefers to sleep alongside me on an inflatable, but it was too much hassle and risk. She's now learning to stay on the ccf... it is easier to train a pup though.
