They hang with my sleeping bags. Mine do see a lot of use in a season but I haven't had a pad for more than a season in a long time.

Do you toss and turn a lot in your sleep that you know of?
I'm for sure a side sleeper. That's why I have to use 3"+ pads. Also my "season" is like 90+ nights so may be more use than others

Side sleeper as well so I use a thicker pad too. Kills my hips if I don't

I've been using the Thermarest Neoair XTherm.  I pair it with a Big Agnes sleeping bag that has a fabric sleeve on the bottom that you can stuff the XTherm in so it doesn't move around.  I've tried it with other sleeping bags and agree with others it's way too loud, esp if sharing a tent.  But that sleeve keeps you from sliding off and eliminates the sound issue.  I haven't had an issue with leakage yet... crossing fingers ;)

Easy fix for that.  Just have your hip replaced like I did!  problem solved.
