Guide Review - Kirkham's Oversize Foam Pad
These are great sleeping pads, but their size restricts their usage to car camping, which is exactly why I bought them. My wife and I tested these pads (along with our new sleeping bags) in my family room before taking them to the campground. They were more than adequate size-wise. We didn't slip off the pads at all. The 2.5 inch thickness provides plenty of cushioning without being too soft. I bought mine at Kirkham's.
