UL80 Ultralight Inflatable Backpacking Sleeping Pad

Trekology UL 80. Cheap and packs down pretty well. I have punctured it twice and have repaired it twice with clear tape. As long as it above 50 degrees I don't notice the low R rating, but I also am a cold sleeper.

A common pairing is an inflatable mat with a foam pad underneath if you need more ground protection or a bit more warmth. Foam pads can get bulky but can usually be easily attached to the outside of your bag. Something like [this](https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/trekking-folding-foam-mattress-180-x-55cm-mt500/174619/c149c344m8492712&utm_term=8492712-2558419?srsltid=AfmBOoq7HXhPyxh7tm4hoREiE9hu6UBlSANQHsLcyXPaU0-YTYHNyRXRx4s) from Decathlon, or [this](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Yellowstone-Eva-Camping-Mat-Foil/dp/B0037CF68E/ref=pd_ci_mcx_di_int_sccai_cn_d_sccl_1_3/523-7138344-0808729?pd_rd_w=nvEY4&content-id=amzn1.sym.6448d24d-f04d-4e11-90e5-10165d266aa2&pf_rd_p=6448d24d-f04d-4e11-90e5-10165d266aa2&pf_rd_r=6HDKBT4C5GV5NDTK2KYH&pd_rd_wg=xgrcR&pd_rd_r=583f5777-ff35-4bea-a83c-a11fbbcc82e5&pd_rd_i=B0037CF68E&psc=1) from Amazon would be fine. Cheaper inflatable mats won't be as warm but you can still be comfortable without spending hundreds.

That will do you well for spring-autumn camping. I have used this mat and the decathlon pad in 0 degree temps and just started to feel a bit cold. If you're gonna camp in colder weather or want to be warmer something like the Alpkit Radiant (can recommend personally), Highlander Nap-Pak arctic or OEX Flux 5 are solid options on the cheaper side. Just check the inflatable first before you go to make sure there aren't any leaks.

I have a Trekology UL80. It is super comfortable even for large folk who are side sleepers. It doesn't have much of an R rating (against cold coming from the ground) but I simply put a foil sheet under it and it is good for Autumn/Spring/Summer. I haven't tried it in zero degrees and I'm not likely too either.

Older hiker who is getting back into multi day thru hikes. Have never slept well on any inflatable type mattresses. Hadn't used one for many years and wanted to try a modern version, hoping there was improvement. I bought a Trekology UL80, being a cheaper first trial. It is 4 inches (10cm) thick. I've only slept badly on it, trying different levels of inflation, getting particularly (very) sore back and hips. My question is, would a more expensive pad actually be any better for my back? Needs to be light weigh so inflatable is only option (hammock also not an option). Willing to try more expensive but am worried an air mattress obviously doesn't provide the same type of support as inner sprung, so I am never going to be comfortable.

6ft 230, slde sleeper, Budget Sleeping pads I've tried: Trekology UL80 - less than $50, 19oz so fairly heavy. Very comfortable. Not sure about durability, I've only used it 6 or 7 days in summer/fall Klymit Static V2 about $50, comfortable, durable and fairly light at 16oz. I've got about 30 nights on this. I would recommend this to anyone on a budget not looking for ultra-lite. Neither of these has much insulation, but I haven't slept cold in either. I use a sleeping bag so I'm insulated I've owned many much more expensive and lighter sleeping pads, and each and everyone has leaked after a couple of weeks. Best was a Therm-a-rest Neo-Air that lasted two months before developing a slow leak.
