Hi, all.  I don't have much experience with modern camping, but I've spent 9 nights outdoors this year and have another 7 planned - 4 on one trip and 3 on another, and I hope this trend continues.  I really don't think I need a sleeping pad, but my back, shoulders and hips are disagreeing with me.

I'm looking for compact, lightweight, easy to inflate/deflate and rugged.    What are you using?  How do you like it?  Would you buy differently if you needed a new one?  What's the key to a good pad?  etc etc.

Any and all comments are very much appreciated!
