As for what to get, you have two choices. You can get a self-inflating pad or a foam pad. In general, both work equally well. Some people find the foam pads less comfortable, but I've never noticed that. About the only problem with a foam pad is that they are a bit bulkier. On the other hand, you don't have to worry about the pad developing a hole either.
