After about a month of fun learning while reading Colin Fletcher's
tome on camping I would recommend it as an excellent starting point to
determine which type of pad would be your best buy.  He recommended
the Therma-rest style of pad, explaining that should you spring a leak
the foam at least covers your basic needs.  The air mattress portion
makes for a pleasure-filled rest.

(Doggone it!  I'm having a block on the correct title of the book.  It
will likely come to me after I've sent this off.  Anyway, let's see,
the cover mentioned that Field and Stream dubbed it the "Backpacker's
Bible".  Ah ha!  "The Complete Walker".  I read the most recent,
version III.)
