>>2409968The best thing I found on the ground was a foam mat OVER an inflatable. Spreads the pressure much better and you don't have to worry about the r value of the inflatable pad, you can just pick the lightest.
But yeah, after I took the hammock pill I never looked back. If you don't go to places with no trees, this is the most comfortable, and possibly more importantly, most consistent sleep you can get outdoors. Once you have your hammock and ridgeline tuned to your liking, it will always feel the same no matter where you hang it.
Also you may think it's not noise but your brain could be staying up trying to process all the unknown little sounds coming in from around you, I'd try sleeping one night with earplugs to see if there's an improvement.
