First night off my hammock... instant regret

[DamienHushTM]

Not sure where this fits so posting here. Two years of hammock bliss, then 1 night on a Thermarest UberLite and I remembered why I ditched inflatables in the first place. Pressure points, shifting air and no support. Might just stick with the closed-cell Z Lite. Anyone else regret switching back?

Went for the UberLite thinking I'd give inflatables one last chance but one night was enough to remind me why I walked away. Hammock life spoiled me and I'm not about to fight with shifting air again. Sticking with the Z Lite and calling it a lesson learned.

I know exactly what you mean,I tried an ultralight inflatable mattress on a trip last summer. It was the middle of the night, and it was half-deflated, I was battling the cold spots while trying to chase my pillow around. On my next trip, I took my trusty old closed-cell foam pad, and I slept like a rock. Sometimes, keeping it simple is just the way to go

Man, you get it. Middle of the night gear battle is no fun. I found out from another user I was inflating it way too firm for a hammock anyway. My Z Lite's looking better and better with every story I hear.
