I've got a closed-celled foam pad I plan to use inside my Single-Layer hammock until I can afford an UQ. I'm planning a multi-day trip tomorrow and will be camping down to about 40-degrees F.
I've got a mummy bag which I'll be using as a TQ.
My closed-celled foam pad is full-length and weights about 650 grams. It is fairly thick for a closed-celled foam pad, I originally got it for yoga from Clark Rubber.
I thought I could cut it shorter, make it into perhaps a three-quarter length pad to save weight.
I want to ask whether this would be feasible to use a partial-length, thick closed-celled foam pad in a hammock. I'm a bit worried about the fact I'd be laying on the edges and that this might start hurting, especially given the fact it's a bit thick.
In regards to temperature, I think that's ok as folks use partial-length UQs where they don't have anything under their feet and head.
Also, would it be more tricky to stay on the pad if it's partial length or full-length.
I do have another closed-cell foam yoga pad which is a much cheaper one, but is softer and thinner. But it's also heavier. But I don't mind ripping that into a partial length either if I should be using that instead. I've got nowhere around home to hang the hammock so I'm going to have to do it on the fly.
