Re: Wool blanket or foam pad underneath air mattress?
Yep, self inflating mattress can get a hole in them just the same as the "other" air mattresses. If you noticed, they included a patch kit with your alps pad. The difference between the self inflating mats have a foam pad inside of them. So if they do lose the air, or get a hole in them, you are sleeping on the egg crate foam, not the deflated mattress. Plus the foam provides a barrier between you and the ground. If you look at the thermarests they actually give you an "R" factor for the insulation of the foam. The higher the "R' factor, the warmer you will be.
