The night my cheap sleeping pad gave out at 2am near Glacier Point

I've been camping for years and always thought any foam pad was fine. Last month I woke up on cold hard granite with my hip screaming. Turns out the R-value on my old pad was basically zero and I never checked. The next morning I tested it with a simple heat lamp trick and the heat went straight through. Has anyone else ignored R-ratings for way too long and paid for it?
