What side do you put up on the Ridge Rest, the gray or the green? I don't see the difference, but I thought I would ask in case I'm wrong.

It doesn't matter but I tend to go with the darker side, it shows dirt easier so you know what to clean off.

There is no correct or incorrect side. However I've found it is easier to use the outside of the rolled side.

Just be consistent with which side. It'll keep your bag cleaner and if you are layering with an air pad it will reduce the chance of a small poker getting picked up off the ground one time, then pushed into your air pad the next. Small chance but worth the tiny effort.

It doesn't matter which side you sleep on with this sealed foam mattress. Either side will work fine.
