I would recommend staying away from an inflatable sleeping pad in cold weather. The air inside them will get cold and chill you from below.

This isn't accurate. The highest R Value and warmest pads are inflatable.

Yep. The down air mats are some of the warmest.

To expand: this used to be correct, but is now outdated. Cheap pads still suck in the cold. However, technology and designs have improved. As the posters above me said, check the R value. You can find several inflatable pads that insulate well.

I am also getting a hammock and a tarp because apparently hammock camping is cool right now

Thank you guys for your help

This is just weird that my son wants to be an Eagle Scout.

Or maybe not. He is Alex P Keaton now.
