Also try foam rolling your lower back before and after your trips. I find it helps my lower back pain anyway.
Yes - me and the foam roller are best friends! I've bought a cheap rip off of the thermarest ultralight bed so will give it a go. It's a pain to assemble but it felt pretty comfy lying on it for 5 mins. It's bloody heavy though at 1.5kg (Thermarest legit one is 1.3kg) so I need to make sure it suits before committing to buying the proper Thermarest one.
Thanks for the tips folks. Apparently the Big Agnes Q Core SLX is really thick and comfy, and only weighs 500 grams. Plus it has higher sides which would hopefully keep me from rolling off and comes in a wider width. I just wish I could try before I buy as it only seems to be online only.
I'm probably going to sell the Thermarest Neoair X Lite so will hopefully make some of the cost back. It's a cracking mat, mega light but just too thin and narrow for me.
