A deceptively humble subject, but one of the prime concern in disaster is finding a place to lay down and rest. Take a big contractors trash bag and stuff it with those small plastic bags they use at grocery stores to tote your groceries. I've done this to try out practical survival methods. This makes a totally comfortable bed that weighs very little when rolled up into a bedroll and carried around.

Old wisdom from the days of mountain men, and before, is to scoop out an area for your hips, or your back will hurt tomorrow.
Personally, I'll sleep in my bed at home. Too damned old to be thrashing about in the countryside. I live in the countryside anyway. My thinking is to get where you want to be, and do it NOW. Then dig in and stay there. People figured out a long time ago that a settled life offers advantages over being a nomad.
edit: Fill that big bag with something to eat. You can make a bed out of grass, leaves, etc..

All petroleum based products. What were you thinking, you heretic? Better to save and get a good down filled sleeping bag.

Pops, if someone is using the name Jboogdy I would like them to be told to find another name. It may not be of much consequence to most, but that name is mine. And I will be using it here again.

About 4 years ago I ditched my therm-a-rest for a Hennesey Hammock. Once you sleep in a Hennesey you will never go back.
