About Therm-a-Rest
In 1971, Seattle aerospace giant Boeing announced the largest layoff in company history, resulting in 50,000 people losing their jobs. Among the jobless were Jim Lea and Neil Anderson, both engineers who were eager to get back to work. Turning to friend John Burroughs--an avid mountain climber--for ideas, Burroughs suggested a better sleeping mattress, specifically one that was lightweight, warm, and comfortable. Taking their inspiration from gardening cushions that expelled air as the gardener shifted his or her weight, the duo took a piece of open-cell foam and sandwiched it between two pieces of airtight fabric. Using an old sandwich maker, they melted the fabric onto the foam, creating a bond that was perfectly airtight. After adding a valve, their prototype was ready to test. Within two years, Lea and Anderson had partnered with Burroughs to begin production of Therm-a-Rest pads, the world's first self-inflating mattress. Under the name Cascade Designs, the private, family-owned company has grown into one of the most respected outdoor manufacturers in the world. Still based in Seattle, Cascade Designs sticks to the same fundamental principles it was founded upon: providing relevant and innovative products, exceptional quality, and service that exceeds your expectations.

Comfy June 21, 2010
J. Roe (KS)
I've been using Therm-a-rests for many years.
This one (Large size) I use for car camping or an overnight hike. It would be fine for overnight hiking - still less bulky than a blue foam pad, and a similar weight. It's a little large to strap onto a backpack for a full-blown backpacking trip though - at least for my taste.
It's considerably longer, wider, and thicker than my other therm-a-rest; which makes for great comfort. My smaller one is much lighter weight and packs in half the space, but it leaves my legs dangling off the end. This one has plenty of space all the way around.
I haven't noticed an issue with slipping off of these, but that could be because I always try to find a level place to pitch the tent. In any case, I don't roll around much in my sleep.

This self-inflating ground pad is what everyone needs to bring on a backpacking trip. I bought the Therm-a-rest trail light large, and let me tell you, It was the nicest feeling pad on my tired back after a days hike. I love it. I would recommend getting the weather resistant Therm-a-rest pouch with this as it does not come with one. It is worth every penny. Your back and body will thank you. Happy trails!

Just used this for the first time on my campout last weekend. It was absolutely wonderful. I followed the advice of previous reviewers - (Keep it unrolled and open until you are ready to go and use some rubber-like cabinet liner to keep from sliding) and it worked great. Very comfortable.
Great for camping! I'm absolutely hooked November 30, 2009

I enjoy camping and would often lug an air mattress out with me to sleep on. It was always such a pain to inflate/deflate, and the air pump would go through batteries faster than I could buy them. For my most recent camping trip, I gave up on the air mattress after borrowing/stealing my sister's thermarest sleeping mat. I figured I'd suffer it out on this mat just so I wouldn't have to deal with the air mattress.
That night at the campsite, I unrolled the mat and realized it was self-inflating. It inflated by itself about half way, and then I finished blowing it up myself the rest of the way. This was probably because it was stored rolled up, but it wasn't a problem at all. It only took about 30 seconds to fill it up myself. And it was absolutely perfect for what I was looking for! It wasn't a luxury mattress, but hey you're camping. It was extremely comfortable and I can't wait to use it again. It is definitely worth the price, so I may have to get myself one soon if my sis discovers it missing!

I now have 2 of these. They can seem a little narrow at times, but the are light and very compact...and that is
the whole point of a pad like this. Very satisfied.
