Therm-a-Rest Ridge Rest Sleeping Pad

Great price, Light, comfortable and kept me warm during my trip in January. If you want to see how I used this product you can read my review with the Outdoor Research Micro Night Bivy. The only thing is it is a little bulky for packing but I am very satisfied. I actually modified it to slide into my bivy.

Cheap, light, and gets the job done. 50+ miles of scruboak will understandably rip this little guy up a bit, but that won't detract from the comfort to weight ratio this thing brings to the backcountry. My only nitpick is that it could stand to be a bit smaller when rolled up.

I've used this sleeping pad mainly for short winter backpacking trips where a lightweight pad is important. Being closed cell foam it insulates quite well from the cold ground & is fairly comfortable. It is also very inexpensive. The only negative I've found is it's bulky size when rolled up. Even in the stuff sack, it is still a good size package. If you're on a budget, this is a good choice.

If your looking for a light pad that can take a beating this is the pad for you. Super versatile and rugged. Also, a great pad for winter camping as closed sell foam keeps the chill off your back. However, if your looking to be super comfortable pad or are just want to save some coin, Don't. Buy a nice thick pad as a poor nights sleep can ruin your day.

i purchased this along with a lafuma down 650g bag - and the two of them together have proven to be a formidable lightweight/comfortable sleeping team. it rolls up pretty tightly (not as tight as an inflatable pad, though) and is extremely lightweight. it's certainly all i need - and contrary to popular belief (it seems) i think that it is incredibly comfortable for its small size / light weight. highly recommended

I have used this in Denali, Arches, Canyonlands, Zion, and the High Uinta Wilderness, and this pad stands up to all terrains! You just unroll and roll up, no stuff sack needed, and it is so light, you will not even remeber it is there till you pitch camp!

It's a closed cell foam sleeping pad, what can I say? It's relatively comfortable. It is very short, so expect to sleep in fetal position if the ground is cold. I don't think I would buy this product again. It is extremely light, but too bulky for my purpose (multiple day mountain biking sessions). I would get the small, mummy-bag shaped inflatable sleeping pad next time.

We've been car camping for years. My wife and I setup an air queen size mattress on the back of our Land Cruiser. It's a great setup, but no matter how good our sleeping bags were, it was always cold in there. Last week we used our Thermarest pads for the first time. Side by side, they cover the whole surface area of the queen size air mattress. And it no longer cold! It's amazing. I slept over 10 hours the first night we tried them Alvaro

This lightweight pad creates a forgiving layer between you and the debris that you choose to sleep on (sticks, rocks, etc). That’s it. I’d much rather have this than nothing at all - even though it is bulky. If you're looking for luxury and comfort, stay home. I have the longer one, but if you're counting ounces and still want a pad, the smaller pad should suffice.

I recently bought the Marmot Trestles 15 sleeping bag in a package deal with this pad. Reading the above reviews make me wonder if anyone here has even camped before!! This is a $20 ultralight closed cell pad--not an inflatable bed!! If you want a pad that is light, low priced, and actually quite comfortable, look no further! Just remember--this pad sleeps like a $20 pad. Got what I paid for and couldn't be happier with my purchase. ***** in my book!!

I found nothing exceptional about this pad and I would agree with the first review that I was a bit sore and tossed and turned in order to try to find a comfortable position. I think a thicker pad with more support will be in order next time. For the price I am ok with it for now.

The ThermARest Ridge Rest is my first sleeping pad and I was sorely unimpressed on a recent trip. Our tents were set on a fairly flat section of a sand dune. It provided very minimal support and I tossed and turned constantly. I've learned that you definitely should not rely on just this pad to make you comfortable.

Got to add stucture to GoLite Trek pack I borrowed. Found that when I slept on side in shelters my hip bothered me and turned over every 20 mins. Will go back to my lightwt. thermarest air pad.

I went from 3 pounds (my old one) to 9 OZ with this sleeping pad. I am a little biased bacause the lighter weight by far makes up for the minimal difference in insulation. Also it's not just a sleep pad, there is a seat anywhere if you have one of these and keep it easily accessible. Whether you're near a warm campfire (don't get too near) or on a 10 minute break up a steep accent.
