>>1710275No matter what you do with an air mattress, how narrow you make the air channels and how many stabilizing joint points you put inside, it's still air moving freely inside a bag. Don't fall for the marketing bs. It'll either have to be pumped really firm or it will be floaty, with the air escaping from pressure points (where you need the support the most) and instead pressing into your softer bits. Putting a foam mat underneath barely helps anything, the only improvement in comfort would be if you bottom out on an underinflated air pad.
The correct way to do it is to put the foam pad ON TOP of the inflatable one, this spreads your weight more evenly over a larger area, reduces pressure points and prevents the air pad from pushing back against your flesh. You want your air pad to be wider than the foam one, ideally with raised edges. The CCF mat adds some bulk and weight to your loadout, but realistically you only need a piece from your shoulders to your hips, and if you carry that, you leave out your sitting pad. I guarantee that this setup will be more comfortable than what you can achieve with just an air, foam or self-inflating pad.
