Therm-a-Rest Z Lite Original Ultralight Foam Camping Pad

Therm-a-Rest Z Lite Original Ultralight Foam Camping Pad

The Therm-a-Rest Z Lite Foam Camping mattress is the classic sleeping pad, and trusted choice of campers, backpackers, and mountaineers. For generations, outdoor enthusiasts have used the compact, durable, and lightweight closed-cell foam mattress for sleeping on the ground. The classic pad features folding accordion-style construction that is compact and easily packable for base camp or transporting into the backcountry. Softer on the top for comfort, and denser on the bottom for insulation, durability, and protection from rocks and dirt, the proprietary foam features heat-trapping dimples that capture heat for extra warmth in cold conditions (R-value 1.7; R-value measures the material’s ability to insulate—the higher the R-value, the warmer the pad). The Thermarest Z Lite Foam Sleeping Pad can be used by minimalists as a stand-alone pad or doubled up with another ground pad or air mattress for an exceptionally good night’s sleep.

Therm-a-Rest

Our founders' mission was simple: create a better way to sleep outside; because when you rest better, you play better. Their ingenuity and vision back in 1972 led to the creation of the first self-inflating sleeping pad.

Today, we’re still working towards the same mission to craft the best sleeping pads and bags on the market. We’re not just giving explorers a better way to camp, we’re giving them better adventures tomorrow.
