Is this pad okay for non-cold floors? Would it get too hot with the insulation?

remember also, insulation can insulate both against heat, and for heat. It can keep heat in, but it can also keep heat out. It can work as a sun shade if needed, such as an afternoon nap in a sunny area. The closed cell foam will keep hat out to a certain point, but if next to the body, it'll insulate keeping heat in.

I've also used mine for indoor & outdoor use & it works just fine either way. It also works as a make shift flotation device.

I have used mine in a hammock in low 50s temps, not too warm even tho it wrapped around me somewhat.

The Ridge Rest is fine in warm weather, it isn't going to insulate you to the point where you are actually warm. Just sleep on top of the pad and sleeping bag so you can be comfortable. I use mine in warm weather all the time. The whole point of insulation is to protect your from sleeping on snow or cold ground that can suck the life out of you. Almost all pads are designed to insulate to some degree.

I've used mine indoors and outdoors without feeling a difference in temperature. I have a 30 degree bag that I typically use and I'm generally pretty warm when I sleep, even when the temps dip below freezing.
