Just went for an overnight and used a Neo-Air mattress with a bridge hammock. My intention would be to use a pad in place of one of my UQ's in the warmer weather. Temperature went down into low 50's so temperature was relatively warm and the sleeping pad worked fine in regards to keeping me warm underneath. I inflated it about 2/3 full and found the hammock kind of “tippy” right out of the gate. I let out enough air so that it was about ˝ inflated, that it was better but still somewhat unstable. However I slept the rest of the night like that. I will do some more experimenting this fall, but wondered if anyone had experienced their bridge hammock being a little unstable with a sleeping pad in general. Could be that it is a inflatable pad (such as a Neo-Air) will be an issue regardless of inflation or maybe I need to continue to let more air out and it will work? I have an older self inflating thermarest that I can try, but backpacking with that it not an option (size and weight).
Any opinions or feedback would be appreciated.
Tom
