A guy at a campground in Maine showed me my sleeping pad was killing my sleep quality

I always thought a good sleeping bag was all I needed for comfort. But after 3 miserable nights on the AT, a hiker named Bob pointed out my pad was too thin for side sleeping. He let me try his inflatable pad for one night and I woke up without any hip pain. Now I'm looking at upgrading to a thicker model. Has anyone else had a similar wake-up call about their sleeping pad?

Switched to an inflatable pad and never looked back. Total game changer for my hips too.

Guess Bob's pad was a real hip replacement.
