Short but wide sleeping pad?

“I was wondering if anyone has been able to find a short, 25" wide self inflating sleeping pad? I currently use a therm-a-rest trail (25" x 77"). I would like to reduce my pads weight and bulk but 20" wide pads are too narrow for my shoulders.”

“Just turn it sideways - you'll have a 77" wide pad. Ha ha, geez, I crack myself up....”

“Not an answer but.....
In winter, a lot of times I will add a wide full length closed cell foam pad under my 3/4 Thermorest pad.”

“I looked and didn't find one. I think the thinking is, if you're carrying a wide, you're not worried about weight. So nobody makes a wide shorty.”

“I'm pretty much a side sleeper so a narrow pad does fine for me.”

“the old thermarest camplite 3/4 is what you want. you should be able to find one if you look. it might even be really cheap. i emailed thermarest and they sent me a few retailers who still had them in stock a few months ago.”

“Thank you ductape for your help.”

“I think Cabelas makes one too, but for some reason I can't bring up their site right now.”

“I use a "Trail" too, but some lady from the Red Cross who was staying in our fellowship hall (it was a Red Cross shelter) gave me a ThermaRest ProLite 3. Helluva gift huh? But, being whimpy sometimes, I use the Trail...just depends. I like a pad under my legs too, if I'm using one.
