I know , personal preference, but thoughts on whether carrying a lightweight mattress is worth the extra weight?

I theoretically know it won't help with bedbugs but I'm thinking one more barrier！

Is it helpful to have this along the way as rarely I imagine will I pull up floor to sleep?

Thanks all!

Not worth the space or weight IMO. Saw too many of them discarded along the way.

One more toehold...

It really hurt to not pick up any of the $100+ Thermarest mattress abandoned along the way.
