Dropped $150 on that inflatable sleeping pad, woke up flat by 2am
I bought a budget inflatable sleeping pad from a big box store before a trip to Big Bend last month. First night felt great, but around 2am I was basically on the ground, the thing had completely lost air. Turns out the valve was cheap plastic and had a slow leak that you could only hear if you put your ear right up to it. Tried patching it twice with the included kit, no luck, so now it's sitting in my garage as a warning. Has anyone else had luck with a specific brand that actually holds up, or should I just go back to a closed cell foam pad and save the weight?
