does this come with a stuff sack? thanks

To answer daniel roy's comments... He makes some valid points. However, many manufacturers add items to their products so that the buyer is duped into buying that item based on freebees. Thermarest believes that it makes the best self-infatable mattresses in the world. If you want a free stuff sack then there are plenty out there offering that, but if you want the best backpacking mattress money can buy then buy a Theramrest. Cascade Designs believes if they are going to offer something, it's not going to be junk. In offering the stuff sack separately, as a separate item, they offer one that is equal in quality to the mattress. Not only is the quality similar, but the stuff sack is perfectly fitted to the pad it's intended for. This kind of attention to detail and quality of materials doesn't come free nor should it. The benefit really is to the purchaser. They know that they are getting a quality, high-end product both in the mattress and stuff sack that they can take ownership of. It is a few bucks more, but the value is definitely there. A cheap stuff sack or really anything cheap will quickly become garbage resulting in dissatisfaction and disappointment. That is not acceptable to Cascade Designs. If you don't understand this point, then most of the items on backcountry.com may seem way overpriced and lacking in value. Those who do see this, as do all of the folks who work at and for Cascade Designs, sees the value in making the best quality money can buy so that the product works as promised, will last for decades, and will meet the high expectations expected by those who shop on backcountry.com. I would encourage you to look elsewhere (say, Walmart?) if you want free stuff sacks...

I dont think the stuff sack should be included, id rather use a piece of cord instead of the price of the pad going up a few $

While I do share Jason's belief that these are very well designed and great quality stuff sacks they make for thermarests I have to disagree that they should be stand alone products. For the price you pay for a thermarest matress and as popular a selling item as they are you would THINK they could at least throw the stuff sack in...even if they had to up the entire price for a small fee. It was disapointing to find that I get a stuff sack with every small, insignificant item I order for camping gear, but this sleeping pad didn't even come with a cheap, low rate sack. It's actually another reason I only gave it 4 stars and not 5.

No it does not. To be fair, the reason they don't is that the stuff sack is also very high quality and therefore deserve to be their own product. I have found that those who include stuff sacks do it as an after thought. They typically wear out in a few trips. The Prolite's stuff sack is made from Cordura Sil-Nylon and well sown. It carries the same lifetime warranty as the pad. It's money well invested. In fact, if you find yourself packing this pad on the outside of your pack, it is critical that you put it in a stuff sack. Most pads are punctured on packs as they walk through trees, dragged against rocks, thrown down when the person is resting, etc. than they are being slept on.
