Also, anyone who thinks you don't need a pad of some sort while using a cot has never been cold before. When you fight with physics, you loose. There's no insulation value in a cot, so keep the closed cell pad for winter work.
VERY true. However, while an ensolite pad will keep you warm, on a tightly stretched cot, it's like sleeping on a board. A thicker foam pad is considerably softer and more comfortable.

Comfortable? That's crazy talk!

Tip -- if truck camping, one can do a lot better than an ensolite pad. smile

Army cot, two furniture moving pads, one bag. One of the pads goes under, one folded at the foot in case. Good and snug to at least 20 below.


No fear, no doubt, all in, balls out.

Bit surprised you lot don't throw a swag on top of the cot then ignore the issue from then on.
