If I was going to use a sleep pad, I'd like to try to make a dual layer hammock: http://www.backwoodsdaydreamer.com/diy-guides/hammock/

You can see in one of the pictures where they left a slot for the air pad to slide into. I can imagine that would be easier to sleep on than directly onto the pad where you have to fight it. grin
