Thanks rockchucker, it sounds like the multi use pad I am looking for!!I've been using one for a while. I'll try to set honest expectations.
It's 1/8" thick. It won't be your only sleeping pad unless you're a mountain man used to sleeping on the ground.
Sticks will poke through it, you will likely put some tears in it with long term use. It will get creases from being rolled up. It probably won't always look pretty.
Good news is it's foam, so holes don't matter that much. Larger tears can be repaired with duct tape. Creases relax if you lay it out in the sun.
It makes a great ground sheet, doesn't slide around, adds some protection for your air pad.
R value will probably be around .45 (1/8x40x80), then .9 if folded in half (1/4x20x80), then 1.8 if folded to torso length (1/2x20x40), so if temps are lower than expected you can take something like a prolite at 2.2 R value down to 0° or so by folding the pad.
It also gives you a backup in case your air pad does pop. It sucks laying on cold hard ground on a deflated airpad. It sucks less laying on warm hard ground on a deflated airpad on top of a foam pad.
It's darn handy to fold up into a square and use as a 3-4" thick sit pad.
Very multi-use piece of gear.

Off topic, but could your ground tarp double as a glassing tarp?
I have a Cimmaron and wanted to be able to pack up the ground tarp and use as a glassing cover or a overnite tarp if I had to bivy for a night.
Thanks-
