Therm-a-RestTrail Lite Self-Inflating Camping and Backpacking Sleeping Pad

My daughter took this on a trip to Ireland. She was sleeping on tile floors and old churches. She said it was super comfy, easy to inflate and deflate as needed for their moving days. She is also 6’4 and it was a great length for her.

I use various sleeping pads and usually find them to be questionable on the design, comfort, and durability. Relatively new to the market, this pad lives up to the intended use. It is light weight and once you learn how, is able to pack away in the stuff sack with ease. They claim it is a 'self-inflating' pad, and for the most part it is, but you may wish to speed up the process with a simple air pump. Caution here, not all pumps are designed for this pad. The "winglock" valve is unique and works well. But the plastic is one of the weaker points of the pad and if "wrenched' down, it can and will break. Customer service is receptive and willing to help and was able to address my issues quickly and without issue. At least my interaction was a positive one. The R-value is on the 'low' side but when used in conjunction with another pad or blanket, it will keep you warmer. The overall size is within tolerances for general use. Overall? Not the best pad I have every purchased but then again, those pads were for special situations. This one? is functional and thus far works as I expected it to work. For situations where I need a pad, and don't require a high-end pad, this one is my all purpose go-to one.

Good pad.+ Warm enough for fall and probably mild winters , but I haven't tried in winter yet.+ It doesn't slide all over like the Prolite Apex+ Quiet. Doesn't squeak or rub like a rubber pool float.+ 6' 200lbs and doesn't compress to the ground on my side.+/- It only kind of self inflates. Barely any at all and still takes about 15 breathes to fill it up.- Big pack size, partly because of the size and partly because of the insulation. The Prolite Apex has a better insulation design and compresses very flat when you roll it up. The Trail Lite stays kind of puffy.- Probably also because of the insulation you have to roll this thing up like three times to push all the air out of it.SummaryA high quality, reliable pad with a poor pack size. Get it if it's what you can afford, but I recommend keeping your eye on the Prolite Apex as the price often drops steeply and if you find one in Used - Like New condition you can usually get them super cheap. I bought both the Prolite and the Trail Lite in this condition and both were brand new with tags attached, just missing boxes, and both were very heavily discounted. If you DO go for this you'll have a better time dealing with it's pack size if you suck it flat with an inflator and fold it instead of rolling it, then either stand it up against the back of your pack or let it wrap around the inside like a tube. It's much more space efficient this way.

I am pleased with this sleeping pad. I did a ton of research and read a ton of reviews on many different sleeping pads. I decided to go with thermarest as it's a reputable brand and most of the reviews of the other Chinese knockoffs indicated a lot of problems. I am extremely satisfied with this therma rest pad.I do blow a few pups of extra air into the pad to inflate it a little bit more. I start off my night sleeping on my back and then I transitioned to my sides. The pressure points on my hips did not hurt the next day which is a major Plus. This sleeping pad will most definitely keep your body off of the hard ground even at your pressure points.

I bought this to replace a lighter folding/non-inflatable camping pad from the same manufacturer. This thing inflates easily (once you read the instructions; the valve did not work like I expected) and is super comfortable compared to my non-inflatable pad. If you're willing to carry the extra weight, this thing is great.

Comfortable and reasonably light weight. I'm also glad that it actually packs back into its bag.

It was ok. I already own a lightweight portable cot and wanted to do a comparison to try and save on some room in my backpack. Unfortunately I had to return even though I really wanted it to work for space reasons it wasn’t worth giving up the comfort of my cot.

Love the size and comfort. It is lightweight and doesn’t take up much room in the pack.

Super Packmaße und gemütlich

It’s easy to use and comfortable.To put back in the bag, fold it length ways and roll up.If I’d buy one of these again I’d get a wider one - like a double - as if you are alone in a tent you can roll off it - but that wouldn’t be as lightweight or compact.

Vorab: Jeder hat so seine eigenen Vorstellungen von einem komfortablen Schlaf , ggf. "Rücken" o.ä..Mein Eindruck:Toll verarbeitet, kleines Packmaß, gute Isolation, Preis eben gerade noch fair. Die Härte lässt sich durch Druckveränderung einstellen. Selbstaufblasend ist sie nicht - um den optimalen Druck zu bekommen muss man noch etwas reinpusten.Lagerung immer kpl. offen, drucklos / nicht zusammengefaltet dann hat man lange Spass dran.

L’ho testato una volta sola e sono soddisfatta, non fa rumore quando ti giri ed è comodo. Nonostante la valvola, È necessario insufflare aria per altre 10 volte prima che il materassino sia completamente gonfio. Le operazioni di sgonfiaggio hanno richiesto un po’ più di tempo del previsto, non è facile far uscire completamente tutta l’aria, ma con un po’ di pazienza si riesce, quindi quando dovete partire iniziate per tempo le operazioni di sgonfiaggio. Nel complesso sono soddisfatta, la marca d’altronde è una garanzia

Sono molto soddisfatto del materassino, decisamente meno del suo involucro: si è lacerato al primo tentativo di inserimento.
