Therm-a-Rest

Why focus on comfort? It's the simple belief that the better you rest, the better you play. It's a universal truth that is readily apparent in our daily lives, but one that is too often overlooked at play. From the essential, life-preserving warmth that we've provided to some of the world's most significant expeditions, to a simple seat that turns a rocky outcrop into the most amazing lunch stop you've ever dreamed of, the right dose of comfort makes everything better by allowing you to be at your best.

Self-Inflating

The origin point of Therm-a-Rest. We designed the first self-inflating pad and we still produce the lightest, warmest, and most compact self-inflating pads available. Expanding foam core self-inflates—top off with just a few breaths for personalized firmness.

Diagonally Die-cut Foams

Providing the same reduced weight as our vertically cut foam, our diagonal cuts also boost warmth by minimizing airflow.

Made in the USA

Made in the USA of the finest US and global materials.

Ultra-Compact

Lightweight foam boosts compressibility for easy packing.

r-value

What is R-Value?

R-Value is a measure of thermal resistance; the higher the R-Value, the more thermally resistant the material or structure is. By selecting an appropriately insulated sleeping pad, you’ll stay warm throughout the night, and wake up prepared for the trail.

Product Description

Equally at home backpacking through the fall or car camping in the spring, the Therm-a-Rest ProLite Plus Ultralight Self-Inflating Backpacking Pad gives added warmth and comfort without sacrificing packability. The thick diagonal-cut foam offers a lightweight pad with a 3.2 R-value for comfort and warmth during three-season adventures (R-value measures the material’s ability to insulate; the higher the R-value, the warmer the sleeping pad). The 1.5-inch thick mattress expands on its own and tops off with a few breaths thanks to the self-inflating design. Available in two styles: Equipped with the Standard Valve, or equipped with the WingLock Valve which is able to inflate a pad three times faster than a standard valve thanks to a larger barrel and optional one-way inflation. Both styles of the ProLite Plus includes a stuff sack to protect the pad when it's packed down. Made in the USA. Manufacturer’s limited lifetime warranty.

1 Star
This is a great camping pad
Five stars for the product itself. This is a great camping pad.I ordered two of these in the same order. They arrived in the same box. One was in the original packaging, complete with stuff sack and instructions. Excellent! The second was rolled loosely into a clear plastic bag with no marking, no instructions, no stuff sack, and was broken. The valve would not stay closed - it did not hold air. You can see in the photos, the one on the floor with the clear plastic wrapping vs the one in the original packaging.This is an expensive item, and to send one that doesn't work and isn't in the original packaging is fraudulent. Be careful when you order!

1.0 out of 5 stars Problem with therm-a-rest construction quality
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 27, 2023
For the second time in the last six years, I've invested in a thermarest and regretted it. Both times the glue that holds the fabric to the foam interior has failed, making the mattress bulge out when being inflated. Both times it has caused huge problems when I was in camping in pretty remote areas of first Canada, then the USA. These are not high quality products, just high price, and relying on a reputation that no longer holds up to scrutiny. I replaced this Prolite whilst on the road with a cheap Coleman alternative, which performed flawlessly and was very comfortable - just a little heavier. I'd rather have the extra weight than the doubt and the problems.
