becklomax says "Just too darn thin" about Therma Rest Trail Comfort Sleeping Pad

Maybe I am getting old, but this pad and most other Therma Rests are just way to thin for my tastes. Even with a bit of air blown in for good measure, the pad doesn't provide enough comfort unless you happen to be lucky enough to be sleeping on a thick, well-manicured lawn in the first place. These days, I prefer a pad with multiple insulated chambers. Yes, you have to blow it up yourself, but if you're outdoors in the first place, what's the real problem with a few deep breaths?? I should add as well that this thing takes up a lot of room and is normally tied to the outside of a pack which can be a nuisance.

The Therma Rest Trail Comfort sleeping pad is tough and comfortable. It helps keep you off the damp ground. In rainy weather it is nice to be elevated more off the ground. It can help keep your bag dry when the ground below you is not. The mattress stands up to a lot of abuse. It helps insulate you from the cold ground. It packs tightly into a stuff sack. It can be a pain to get it to compress enough to get into the small stuff sack. It is standard gear for many backpackers in the Northwest Rockies where I hike. I don't hike without mine. It is heavier than some other sleeping pad options, but I like the comfort it provides.

This is one item that I never go camping without. The only slight drawback to the mattress is that it's a little large when you take it backpacking. But the additional size is easily overlooked when you lie down for the night after hiking ten or twelve miles. It self inflates. If you need it a little fuller, a few puffs of air and you have a little more comfort. It's a little large as far as width, but rolled up size is as big as most other packing pads. It comes with a small repair kit for small holes or tears, but in years of use, mine has never sprung a leak. This item is just like American Express: Never leave home without it!

This is worth the extra money. After hiking all day you really want a good night sleep without feeling every root! Packs well and is light weight....

Russ says "Spoiled rotten." about Therma Rest Trail Comfort Sleeping Pad

I am so happy that my girlfriend is my girlfriend. She's supportive, and loving, and she came with an ice ax. She also came with a Thermarest sleeping pad.

I'm not even going to try to be all cool and act like I wouldn't have ever slept on anything but the ground without her. I have slept on inflatable mattresses and floats before, especially in my Boy Scout days. My girlfriend introduced me to the right way to do it. The thermarest sleeping pad is thinner than other inflatables, so it doesn't require anywhere near the amount of air that most use, and it has foam inside that help inflate it most of the way. I don't think that I've ever put more than 10-15 blows into one. The thinner mattress is also great because it means less "wobbling" when you move. The fill valves are different that what you might be used to. They twist open and closed, and you can do it with your mouth on the piece. No more frustration over air escaping while you're trying to plug the valve. The thermarest......
