There was a time when I would backpack and sleep on the ground.
But even then I was a wimp, and always had a Thermo-Rest below my sleeping bag.
But, things now have gotten pretty fucking bad.
Today I camp out with a 6-man (just for me or me and a companion) tent (all screen, but with a good optional rain covering) on a Queen-Sized inflatable bed, with a Memory Foam Mattress topper, sheets with a high thread count, a bedspread, nice pillows, and a beside table with an LED lamp.
I now have that nice Queen-sized bed on my back porch, so I can spend the night with my dying wolf. And on Wednesday night, I shall be able to look up, and while petting Nashoba, enjoy the Perseid Meteor Shower sans tent.
