In [[camping (recreation)|camping]], a '''sleeping pad''', '''sleeping mat''' or '''ground pad''' is a simple device often used in conjunction with a [[sleeping bag]]. Its purpose is to provide padding and [[Heat#Heat transfer mechanisms|thermal]] insulation. The ground may become quite cold at night, and is often covered with [[stick]]s, small [[Rock (geology)|rocks]], and other objects that may make sleep difficult. A sleeping bag does not provide adequate protection against either hazard, but a sleeping pad does. | In [[camping (recreation)|camping]], a '''sleeping pad''', '''sleeping mat''' or '''ground pad''' is a simple device often used in conjunction with a [[sleeping bag]].
