I use a portable cot with a mattress pad, it’s quite comfy =)

I used to hate camping for this reason.
Then I learned how to set up a hammock. It’s (roughly) the same amount of effort to set up, but I actually sleep better than in a bed.

I love my backpacking cot, sets up in like 2 minutes and I’m off the ground and can lay comfortably anywhere, I like to lay by the fire before bed at night, it’s perfect.

Tangentially related: setting up hammocks in my living room was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. It’s so comfortable.

It’s pretty much the only way I get a decent nights sleep while camping, even with a great air mistress my back gets sore

Yeah, but air mistresses give really good blow jobs! I’ll let myself out…

Would be a flex to summon a giant soft woman to sleep on while camping, wizard goals

Switching to hammocking made a huge difference for me!
Eventually I did the AT and hammocked almost every night. Only drawback was leaving my pack outside overnight and picking off the spiders and insects in the am.

You mean picking the spiders from you or from your hammock?
I case of the former, there are mosquito nets for hammocks. I use them when I go wild camping with my hammock almost every time.

Picking them off my pack.
I use a hammock gear hammock, attached bug screen and internal ridge line. So it pops right up as you hang it.

Why not hang your pack to keep it off the ground? I’m assuming you have the ability to do so, since you’re already setting up a hanging hammock. Paracord is cheap and easy to stow in your pack, and you can just tie it around a rock to toss over a tree branch.
