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.

Great for camping! I'm absolutely hooked November 30, 2009
Bri like the cheese (Florida)
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!

Michael (TEXAS!)
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.
Pleasantly Suprised September 21, 2009
Paul Martinka (MN)
I just got back from a 6 day trip to the MN boundry waters. The outfitter we used supplies these pads. Years ago while in scouts we used the cheap blue roll out pads. These are so much better. The insultating value is fairly low but dont let the number fool you. While sleeping in lows in the middle 40's my borhter and I used our 30 degree bags as blankets and slept right on the pads. Don't rely on the pad to fully self inflate it will only inflate to the current atompheric pressure. To cushion your ground well you need to blow about 5-10 breaths into the pads making it firm. This makes sleeping on rocks and roots unfeelable. My only complaint is they could be wider, 30" would be nice, but then harder to pack. For the price this are worth more than a good sleeping bag.
Great product. August 28, 2009
Robert Routson
I have used these in the past, but finally decided to have one of my own. This is a great mattress for any camper.
Simply amazing August 23, 2009
James Holpuch (Chicago, IL)
I have been been camping for many years and used to use a simple closed-cell foam pad to sleep on while wanting to get a real Therm-a-rest but never wanted to get one. I finally broke down and bought this one for a recent trip and I can happily say I have never slept better in a tent. More comfortable than many air mattresses and so light weight! A definite buy. I only wish it had included the stuff sack with the bag.
