Do I need a Guide Gear Large Self Inflating Sleeping Pad Oversized for travel?

Direct answer

A sleeping pad puts cushioning and a layer of insulation between you and the ground, cot or hard bunk. If you already sleep on a bed you are happy with, a pad is optional.

Who it may help

Campers, backpackers and travelers who sleep on the ground or a hard surface.

What to check before you buy

• Check the length and width against your height and how you sleep.
• Check the thickness, and the R-value (insulation rating) if the listing gives one.
• Check the packed size, weight and how it inflates.
• Look for a repair kit or valve details in the listing.
