RARE PHOTOS: Why are inflatable sleeping pads so expensive | Rare Historical Photos

Top down view of tent with sleeping pads.

What’s on your ‘good night’s sleep’ kit list? Hooded sleeping bag? Silicone ear plugs? Snuggles the Bear? (Just me?) A quality sleeping pad is going to be right up there at the top too, and for multi-day trips and backcountry adventures an inflatable type is a great choice.

If you've shopped around for one recently you'll notice that while they start at around $30 (£23), you can pay anything up to an eye-watering $400 (£300) for a top-end version.
