Cost of comfort


Why is a foam pad more than $100.00??? Wow...I checked out a foam store, craft store and a all in one store. 2 places had really nice foam. But they were really expensive! I remember being a kid and my Mom and Dad using a foam pad to sleep on when they were camping. I never thought that would be an expensive part of camping! I own 2 thermarests. I didn't pay $100 for them. I wouldn't pay that much. Sleep is an important part of life and nice to have a good sleep when camping...but WOW I didn't know how much it would cost. We could get an air mattress for half the price. We could get a queen air mattress for that matter! So I think we will get one. Its kind of a daunting task...not that they cost that much, but I don't want one that leaks! So I have been reading reviews. Reading reviews is exhausting by itself! People either love it, worked great for them and have bought 2! The other half of people hated it, it leaked in an hour and curse the brand! WHAT TO DO!

I had slept on an air mattress for almost and year and never had a leak. It was a twin and it was great! I never had a problem with it until I stopped using it! Ha ha what are the odds. I think it was a Coleman brand. Maybe we should try that brand again. The picture on all the boxes for the mattresses look so nice and relaxing. I just wish there was an air bed place where you could try the bed before you bought it! Maybe I should open an air mattress store.

What do you sleep on when you go camping?

  1. I haven't been camping in about 5 million years, but I would be sleeping on an air mattress and praying it didn't have a leak! My body is too old to handle sleeping on the ground. ;)
