I bought a cheap 'ultralight' sleeping pad and woke up in a puddle

It was a $25 pad from a random online store, and the baffles gave out after two nights. I learned that saving a few ounces isn't worth a cold, wet night. Anyone have a solid budget pad that actually holds air?

Ever try the Paria ReCharge XL?

Wait, you actually fit that whole thing in your pack? I saw the specs and it looked huge. What kind of trips are you taking where you need that much pad? My old one is half that size and I can barely squeeze it in.

Twenty five bucks for a pad that only lasted two nights is brutal. You must have been freezing in that puddle. My old pad did that once and I swore off the super cheap stuff for good.
