Boy Scout Campout success! Sep 25, 2006
By James D Mcgee
"Camper Dad"
I took this on a Boy Scout campout to rest my old bones on for three days and loved it. I slept well on rocks and tree roots! In the past I've often used a Coleman air mattress, but those can get pretty chilly when the temp drops. Kind of like sleeping on an ice block! Plus the air mattress is heavy and a pain to set up (have to haul batteries, pump, etc). This Therm-a-Rest was almost as comfortable as the air mattress. Well worth it considering that it kept me warmer than the air mattress and it was easy to set up (just open the valve!). It's very light and easy to transport. I highly recommend getting the "stuff sack" for this model. Makes it easier to pack/transport. I got the XL as opposed to the regular sized one. It gave me more room to move around.
Whatever you do, don't store it rolled up! I ruined a different sleeping pad by making this mistake. They develop a foam memory and won't inflate properly if stored long term rolled up.
I'll give this my high recommendation! See you on the trail!

Comfortable, Durable Oct 01, 2007
By J. P. Hewitt
In 1975 we purchased Therm-a-Rest pads for a backpacking trip in Yellowstone National Park and have been using them regularly ever since, in recent years mainly for car camping. They've needed a patch a couple of times, and one of them -- after thirty-two years -- wouldn't hold air very well, so we decided to get a new set. The Base Camp pads, for car camping, are thicker and also larger than the backpacking variety -- they nicely accommodate bodies that have spread a bit over three decades. They are comfortable, perform as they are supposed to, don't take up much space when deflated and rolled, and, based on experience, are likely to give good service for many years. It's a good product, good value for the money, easy to use, nice looking, supportive, insulate well from ground heat or cold. Our 80 pound Lab likes them too.

Great pad for car camping Oct 23, 2007
By Tom
I used this pad on a Cub Scout overnighter. I'm not big on the closed-cell pads (too hard for my taste), but this pad worked very well. The weather was chilly at night, but I didn't feel it.
The self-inflating feature didn't seem to work very well -- at first. Seemed kind of soft. I was surprised to discover that it only took a few additional breaths to firm up the mattress to my liking.
You'll need some sort of bag or strap to carry the pad once you roll it up. I bought a Granite Gear #10 Toughsack, but that was still about six inches too short.

Travel mattress Oct 19, 2008
By Al
We've used ours several times and we leave them in the camper all the time. They are easy to inflate, since they only go up an inch or so.
