Having recently had to mend a faulty valve, and then find a puncture, on my (very expensive!) ultralight inflatable mat, I bought a back up in the form of a (very cheap - £4.00) foam roll mat. I've just spent two nights sleeping on the foam roll mat and had the best two nights sleep on it I can remember. I still can't really believe how less than 1cm of foam could induce such a good night's sleep.
I'm seriously considering exploring the slightly thicker foam mat options out there - ZLite Sol, Highlander NATO, etc. etc. The thought of never having to worry about punctures again, and not sliding off an inflatable (I roll about a lot in my sleep) is getting my interest.
Has anyone else gone back to foam roll mats after a few years on more expensive inflatables? Many years ago when I was a slip of a girl the foam roll mats were all we really had when tramping round backpacking, I may be going full circle!
