sit pads

additional sleeping pad cushioning


Create your own Variable thickness sleeping pad.
A ground sheet may superfluous where 
you camp with a full length pad.

Since it is often desirable for  greater padding under the hips and shoulders 
I have tried gluing  layers of the 1/4" pad together. 
I found that this can be accomplished with 
contact cement. It makes a very strong bond and you only need a few dots of 
it to hold things together.

By overlapping pieces, I can now make myself a custom pad to my height and 
width with padding at just the spots I need. This way I eliminate a ground 
sheet, and have a warm full length pad  with a surface that doesn't promote 
condensation that weighs sub 5 ounces.

As weather turns colder, you can add additional layers of foam.
One of my customers uses grommets and toggles in his hammock to keep the pad 
in place.
