My buddy swore a $12 blue foam pad would out-sleep my $180 inflatable, and day 2 at Ohiopyle proved him right

He handed me a cheap closed-cell pad from Walmart before our trip last June and I laughed, but my $180 air pad had a slow leak by midnight so I stole his foam one for night two. Slept like a rock on that thing, no deflating, no patch kit, nothing to baby, and now the expensive pad sits in my garage. So did I just get a lemon or is the whole inflatable pad thing a scam?
