Self inflating foam pads vs insulated air sleeping pads
I am looking at the Sea to Summit comfort plus sleeping pads for a 5 day camping trip and saw that there are two options for the same pad: a self inflating pad (with foam) and an insulated (non foam) pad. See below:
I understand that the insulated pad may be slightly lighter and easier to pack, but that is not the main priority for me. I will only be hiking about 2 hours to the festival campsite where I will be staying for 5 days. My main priority is comfort. It’s also going to be in summer so I the R values of either are fine for me.
So, in terms of comfort, for me as a side sleeper, which one should I go for? Insulated (non foam) or SI (with foam)? #activity#camping source
