Question about the $12 sleeping pad I bought at a garage sale in Boise

I bought a beat up foam pad for $12 at a garage sale in Boise last spring and figured I would use it once and toss it. After 14 nights on it this summer, I stopped bringing my $150 inflatable pad on trips. The inflatable is lighter and packs smaller, sure, but I sleep through the night on the cheap foam one instead of waking up sliding off it at 2am. Has anyone else gone backward on gear like this and just stuck with the cheap thing?
