Therm-a-Rest Z-Rest - 2003 Model
light, solid yet bulky

I formerly used a therma-rest 3/4 inflatable, but completely left it at home as it felt like a waterbed when kneeling or placing my hands on it to sit up. The Z-rest is thin, but solid. I can kneel on it over small pebbles and still feel ok. Sleeping on it is fine, with no problems to report. Bonus was that I used it outside of my tent for a sitting pad on the desert sand and even for cooking on (set my stove on it). And I simply fold it into whatever size I need. The only drawback was the bulk - mainly for packing for the flight. Actually once on my pack - the outside - I couldn't feel it. So it looks and is big, but it's light.
