I have some fairly serious back problems and I love my
Thermarest Camp Rest LE self-inflating.  I highly
recommend Thermarest pads and for real comfort would
stick with one of the LE models (Luxury Series).  It
is worth getting one that is wide enough too.

They come in a range of weights, thicknesses, lengths,
and widths.  It is a little confusing to read model
descriptions.  REI had a good selection so I was able
to lay on all of the different models before choosing.

One caveat.  They aren't cheap.  The single models
range from $50 - $200.  My Camp Rest LE was somewhere
between $120 and $140 if memory serves correctly.  It
was well worth it to me though.
