The wife and I...
I sleep spectacularly on the Earth. She does not.
She is a larger woman with wide hips (the way I like 'em). Not tall, and I'm too much a gentleman to mention her weight precisely but it's over 200. When she sleeps on the Earth, be it with a top of the the line therm-a-rest or a couple of yellow foam rolls or both, her hips... ache the next day. She would love to see more wilderness with me, it just hurts her to sleep, and there is no shortage of pain in the morning, and through the next day. The thought of waking up to that pain for a week or two is really what prevents her from joining me on longer trips. I'm hoping somebody with similar difficulties can chime in.
We borrowed a couple of

But, they take a bit of time to ass/disssemble at camp, and I'd like to find something better. And we've tried quite a few thermarests to no avail. Ideally we'd like to find something that would allow us to "cuddle", like joining sleeping bags, but we just want something that's easy to carry, light, and preferably with zero assembly required.
Those cots may be the best option - does anyone with similar challenges have an idea or two?
