[QUOTE="PBramble, post: 1377700, member: 103823"] I'm pretty sure you've hit the nail on the head. It is a cheap foam pad and I was using a Coleman air mattress. It was good for about 3-4 hours, but then I got cold and I could feel it coming from under me. I basically slept in decent over the calf socks, light weight base layer top and bottom, flannel pj bottoms, a long sleeve t shirt and a fleece pullover. I had to use my ski mask beanie when I woke up and my face was burning from the cold. While it was cold, it was not near as cold as when I got up and got outside. Since I'll primarily be using the truck as base camp, I've been looking into 4" foam (not memory foam) folding mattresses. Figure I should be comfortable as I can while I'm roughing it. I'll look at the bivy sack too. Guess I'm expecting too much from the manufacturer's claims. Thanks for the input. [/QUOTE]
