camping pad

Sleeping surface outdoors

A camping pad is a portable cushion placed beneath a sleeping bag for insulation and comfort.

Pads range from simple closed-cell foam to self-inflating air mattresses.

The primary function is preventing body heat from conducting into cold ground: I forgot my camping pad and froze all night.

Also called a sleeping pad.
