camping mat
Portable sleeping surface
A camping mat is a portable padded surface placed beneath a sleeping bag to provide cushioning and insulation from the ground.
These mats range from simple closed-cell foam pads to self-inflating air mattresses, with variations in thickness, weight, and insulating properties suited to different conditions and preferences.
I forgot my camping mat and spent the night feeling every rock and root beneath me.
