For the person whose back decides whether the family comes camping again, the thin pad isn't enough. An inflatable mattress is a real mattress height off the ground, with a soft flocked top that doesn't stick to skin, and with the rechargeable pump it's up in a couple of minutes. It folds flat and small when empty. It needs the pump and it needs you to keep it off thorns and embers — both easy — and in return it's the best night's sleep in the desert.
