sleeping pads
Ground insulation layers
Sleeping pads are portable cushions used under a sleeping bag when camping or backpacking.
They provide insulation from cold ground and padding against rocks and roots.
Types range from closed-cell foam mats to self-inflating air mattresses: I forgot my sleeping pad and froze all night.
R-value measures insulation—higher numbers for colder conditions.
