I've been scouring the boards here trying to see if anyone else uses the same "sleeping pad" method as I do and I didn't see anything that caught my attention.

I really don't like the extra weight of the sleeping pad, even though I know that it does help to keep you warm from the cold coming up from the ground. I have been using the silver emergancy blankets under my sleeping bag to keep me warm from the cold and also keep my sleeping bag clean from dirt.

Does anyone else use this method at all? I know it doesn't give much comfort, but I would rather sleep on the hardwood floors in my house sometimes rather than my pillowtop matress.
