mine wasnt quite that bad but when i first did it used to get pain down the side of my leg. come on and off now and then ie. bad for 2 months or so good for 4 months sort of thing.

thanks for all your help looks like ill have to get my self a thick mattress high density. an also been thinkin need to look for a good camp chair so i can lean back when sittin round the fire. no back rest on an eski ;)

Thanks again

I recently got a fold out bunk to put the matterres on. Actually it was a gift I always thought they were for sooks but now I love it.

Much better to sleep on and get in and out of.

Get one!;)

I have a self inflating mattress from Freedom Camping. It is the most comfortable camping mattress I have ever slept on. For me much better than the cots, that squeek, and groan when I roll over. The elevated cots are also not great in the cold, as you loose body heat from underneath.

Cheers,

Thermarest .... thick ones
