I am on a quest to find the most comfortable sleep pad with weight as second consideration.

I use a Xlite now. I can't seem to get the pressure right. I am a side sleeper, I feel like I either get to much pressure in it and its is like sleeping on a board. If i let some air out my hip hits the ground or get very close to it, enough that I feel the cold from the ground.

I think the Xlite is 2.5" thick...

should i use a thicker pad? Is there such a thing as a light/compact thick pad?

I have a Ridgerest but scared to try it out..lol. I might have to sleep in the backyard sometime.
