I bought two different inflatable pads last year, one made by therm-a-rest, the other by MEC. Both deflated on me first night out!!! The MEC one was leaking all over the place, right through the fabric, therm-a-rest had a pinhole in it. This was car camping btw. I'm SO done with inflatables. Now I have one of these:

I got some small (1/2" wide?) nylon straps at walmart and attached to outside of knapsack. Pull straps tight, tie excess strap into knot if you like, and done. Works great!
