Does it insulate you from the ground while you're on trail or it's just for the comfort?

Because it is self inflating, it creates about an inch of dead air space between you and whatever you're sitting upon....so yes besides comfort, it keeps your butt dry and warmer than if on bare ground/rock.

It actually does - I originally got this for cross country trips strapped into a regional jet - but I also take it for hiking trips, and when we go to a game - keeps the tail-bone intact and if it is frozen (like it has been this year) the air insulation keeps the cold off of your hind quarters!

Don't know, just use it on the jet when traveling. If I had to guess I would say there would be very little insulation since you don't put much air in it.

I have used it stand-alone and with a sleeping bag. I really love the feel of silk against bare skin, and it adds some warmth without making me overheat. It packs down really small, so you can easily carry it along with your typical 30 degree bag without much extra weight or space.

It is a fuzzy like lining that I cannot contribute to any jacket type interior. It is comfortable but you still feel like you have control of the vehicle. Awesome for the money.

Just air I think. I was using it at the beach the other day and it didn't feel like the air that was blowing was much cooler than what it felt like outside. Although it was not cooler it was like having a breeze, that was still really nice and did keep me cooler.

No, it was very comfortable. Good air flow. I was, however, using it in cold temps. But I'd have noticed if it felt "hot" because I like to sleep very cool.

It does help... the fabric outside and inside are def made to bring you the best comfort and doesn't keep the heat of your body.

I can't say that it actually makes you cooler, but it definitely counteracts the heating effect of the top layer of our mattress. It's more like it makes you feel comfortably neutral, if that makes sense.

Not necessarily but sometimes the gym puts the ac on and because I'm wet it might b a lil cold. I usually don't wear anything under or over it because the sweat on my body cools me down

Our amount of usage is limited. We have found it does not radiate heat much beyond the edges of the unit. When you sit back and put your feet up, you will definitely feel the heat on your feet. Yes, you will most likely have to get close to feel the warmth.

The layer inside is a little bit thick and that keep you warm! But be careful: if you are doing exercises outdoor in low temperature and you are sweaty, And you let your body cold because you done, you will feel freeze! So You have To be active everytime! And when The exercise is done put some jacket on ! Well! That is The way i use it!

I tell yeah...you can lay it on the floor and feel like you are on a pillow. It has great support and it just adjusts to your body creating a very comfortable sleep. I just love it so very much, I never like getting out. Just that comfy!

Before I bought one I would have said no. I know now that on some nights I have to stick my feet out to cool myself a bit. I am a hot natured person, but I truly think this will be all I need this winter along with my quilt on top of it of course. Its not as hot as my down cover was or as bulky, but it is nice and toasty. And I gotta add it is really soft too. I don't think you will complain about being cold.

It will warm up where your body makes contact, after awhile. My wives just moves to a different area on it.

The entire bottom but it isn't a hot heat....it is more like you don't notice the warmth. It isn't like the packs you put in your gloves and you can control the heat.

This is not extra padding for comfort. It is just an extra waterproofing layer (very flat).

I live in Canada, Northern Ontario. A ground pad in your environment is more for comfort than climate. But don't rule it out. Keeps the moisture off your back.

I have not slept in cold weather with this yet. However it Does keep you off the ground so that part helps.
