Anybody have experience with using outdoors sleeping mats for extended indoors use? How did it go? Any recs for durability and comfort, since heat retention and weight wouldn't be an issue? My current mattress is getting old, so I'm wondering if simply laying a proper mat on it could be an interesting solution for comfort.
>>2841972That's not a good idea. You might as well be sleeping on the floor with your sleeping pad at that point.
>>2841972Why don't you just try it? Why do you need to get approval from a bunch of spergs on a Cambodian basket weaving image board?
I sleep on persian rugs and/or inch thick foam rubber (the type that people put on the floor of gyms and daycares).Its good living. There are lots of countries in the world where people sleep on rugs. It makes it hella easy to get up in the morning. You just roll over to your food/computer and you're done.
>>2841972Inflatable sleeping pads are designed to be light and packable. Just use a regular inflatable mattress. It will be much more comfortable.
>>2841972We called you a moron last time you made this thread. Pads intended for limited and irregular use will not compare to some kind of mattress intended for every-night use
Hammocks are superior. They pack smaller than a tent, the good ones have mosquito netting and a rain fly. They're cooler in summer and are warm with a sleeping bag in winter because there's no ground contact. You don't need level or cleared ground, just two trees.
In japan they sleep on futon mats over a tatami floor mats. But a $40 air mattress will last for years and works just fine.
>>2842170No trees indoors
>>2842178Not with that attitude.
>>2841972Slept for 3 months on a thin foam matt on a hardwood floor. Was pretty uncomfortable. I ended up putting more blankets underneath me. Was better. I guess a floor in a building is way way harder than earth come to think of it. Because I really felt like I couldn't spread out or easily get comfortable.
Just don’t get a sub 400g “ultralight” mat. Those things are meant for autistic thru hikers who have the money to get a new one every year or two, and aren’t terribly reliable long term. I have a Nemo Tensor 3.4R value and I use it sparingly, and yet it’s had a hole here and there. Went on a month long trip and it deflated every night, I only found the hole towards the end. And I carefully cleared the ground and used a tent footprint underneath it. Still had holes lol
