Best Rest

Therm-a-Rest Trail Lite Sleeping Pad

Therm-a-Rest Trail Lite Sleeping Pad

Rating for this product: 4 June 3, 2009

I've been using a self-inflating ThermaRest pad for ~15+ years, and it's the best, most comfortable sleeping pad I've found. That said, over time my pads (2) have developed pinhole slow leaks that I've tried to patch with ThermaRest's patch kit--not very successful, probably because it's difficult to locate the pinhole leaks. I did successfully replace the valve I crushed using their kit. But, I'd still buy another Thermarest, if I can't get the leaks patched in my old one. Well worth the money and extra weight over a closed cell foam pad.

Uncomfortable

Therm-a-Rest Ridge Rest Sleeping Pad

Therm-a-Rest Ridge Rest Sleeping Pad

Rating for this product: 2 June 3, 2009

I got the RidgeRest for its light weight and low maintenance, for which I can recommend it. However, I spent several miserable, minimal sleep nights on it. Maybe I'm just too old and fat/heavy for these closed-cell pads anymore, but this provided little more comfort than sleeping directly on the ground. I got up tired, aching, stiff, grumpy, and wondering why the heck I ever liked backpacking. I went back to using the heavier but far more comfortable and cushioning self-inflating pad. For a weekend warrior like me (just a night or two per trip--perhaps not enough time to "get used to it" as other reviewers noted), the extra ounces are well worth the decent night's sleep--without a decent sleep, I don't want to backpack.
