I've never understood the, 'UQ is more comfortable than pad' argument. One reason might be is that I've never used an UQ.
But then, I wonder if the proponents of the argument have ever used one of the wide thin pads, e.g., Oware or Gossamer. I can easily see comfort issues with the common blue foam pads or most of the inflatables. I would expect them to slip a lot and I expect it might be hard to stay 'on' the narrow width. I dunno...I've never used them in a hammock, either.
I have used an Oware pad all my nights in a hammock and I've never had an uncomfortable night in a hammock. It doesn't slip (at 60" X 40", there's no room
), it doesn't bunch or wrinkle (when care is taken...ya' just can't plop down on it). I simply have had no issues with it but I imagine others will think I don't know what I'm missing.
Still, it cost barely over twenty bucks and weighs seven ounces.

p.s. There is one issue...it's bulky to pack.
