Sleeping Pad
The Zenbivy R5 inflatable pad is relevant here because the entire sleeping bag rating system assumes an R5 pad under the bag. If you’re trying to match the lab conditions that created your bag’s temp rating, starting with a high-R pad like this is the whole game.

- +More comfortable than closed cell foam for most sleepers
Cons
