Therm-a-Rest

Why focus on comfort? It's the simple belief that the better you rest, the better you play. It's a universal truth that is readily apparent in our daily lives, but one that is too often overlooked at play. From the essential, life-preserving warmth that we've provided to some of the world's most significant expeditions, to a simple seat that turns a rocky outcrop into the most amazing lunch stop you've ever dreamed of, the right dose of comfort makes everything better by allowing you to be at your best.

What is R-value?

Product Description

The Therm-a-Rest RidgeRest Classic Foam Sleeping Pad is, as its name suggests, the classic camping mattress, trusted by generations of campers and backpackers for a good night’s sleep in the great outdoors. The basic closed-cell foam design provides a ground pad option that is not only lightweight and durable, but also a great value. It rolls up compactly to fit in or strap to a backpack, and is light enough to carry almost anywhere. The foam padding is designed with supportive peaks for comfort, and heat-trapping valleys for insulation, ensuring support and warmth all night. With an R-Value of 2.0 (R-value measures the material’s ability to insulate; the higher the R-value, the warmer the sleeping pad), it’s ideal for sleeping outside in spring, summer, and fall. It also makes an excellent insulating layer, when used in combination with another Therm-a-Rest sleeping pad, for winter and snow camping. Virtually indestructible, the cross-linked polyethylene material provides protection from rocks, roots, and sharp sleeping surfaces, and ensures durability for years of use. The Therm-a-Rest RidgeRest Classic Foam Sleeping Pad is available in three sizes: Small measures 47 x 20 inches (20 x 6.5 inches rolled) and weighs 9 ounces, Regular measures 72 x 20 inches (20 x 8 inches rolled) and weighs 14 ounces, and Large measures 77 x 25 inches (25 x 8.5 inches rolled) and weighs 19 ounces. Made in the USA.

Very impressed at the comfort for someone prone to back discomfort
5 Stars
Very impressed at the comfort for someone prone to back discomfort
I don't have the best back in the world. I also don't care to sleep on the ground when camping and normally take a twin size heavy inflatable. Recently however, I went on a 3-day hike off the grid and away from cars and trailers. I was really skeptical about how well this would do, but after my first night I was converted. I was every bit as comfortable as I could've hoped to be. It's plenty long and wide enough for me (I'm 5' 10", 185 lbs). This is very lightweight and when lashed to my pack I barely knew it was there. I'm going to be switching to hammock camping, but I'm interested to see how this works out in between the layers of a double hammock. I definitely recommend this item. Pictured here with a hiking pack I just got today.
