Key Features

Highlights

• 76 in. length lets you stretch out yet works well in standard 77 in. truck beds, back-of-vehicle and smaller tents
• Foam-filled construction helps pad self-inflate most of the way—then you can use the included pump sack to top it off to your desired firmness
• Thick, plush foam interior provides stable comfort and support
• 3D foam coring shaves weight, allows for a more compact roll and creates a supple, cushiony sleep surface
• Vertical sidewalls maximize sleep area while soft, stretch-polyester top fabric helps keep you on the mattress
• Durable 75-denier recycled polyester bottom and sides resist punctures; 30-denier recycled stretch polyester top surface for ultimate comfort

• Most sleeping pads we sell range from 1.0 (good for warm weather) to 5.5+ (for use in extreme cold); the higher the R-value, the more insulated the pad
• R-value tested according to the ASTM F3340 standard
• Separate, color-coded, high-flow valves for inflation and deflation make setting up and breaking camp frustration-free

Where will you use the pad?

Decide how you’ll use the pad. Weight and packability will matter more if you're backpacking than if you're car camping. If you're winter camping, pick an insulated pad with warmth (or a high R-value).

What are the different types of sleeping pads?

Air pads: Comfortable, lightweight and packable. Cons: Generally more expensive, and can be punctured or ripped. Self-inflating pads: A combo of open-cell foam and air. Pros: Often quite warm. Made in a variety of thicknesses and styles. Cons: Heavier than a simple foam pad. Closed-cell foam pads: Cheapest option. Almost indestructible. Cons: Not super comfortable.

Decide on the warmth (R-value) you need

Sleeping pads are rated by R-value; a higher number means more insulation. Match your choice to the season and weather. Pads with an R-value less than 2.0 are suitable for warm weather whereas those with an R-value 5.5 and greater are ideal for extreme-cold-weather.

What dimension do you need?

Pads vary by weight, cushioning, length, width, ease of inflation and more. At a minimum, your shoulders and hips need to fit on a pad. Regular (typically 72 inches long) and long (typically 78-inch) pads will insulate your legs and feet. A short or 3/4-length pad (usually 47 or 48 inches) weighs less and packs smaller.
