Description

The Therm-a-Rest RidgeRest Classic Foam Sleeping Pad is, as its name suggests, the classic camping mattress, trusted by generations of campers and backpackers for a good night’s sleep in the great outdoors. The basic closed- cell foam design provides a ground pad option that is not only lightweight and durable, but also a great value. It rolls up compactly to fit in or strap to a backpack, and is light enough to carry almost anywhere. The foam padding is designed with supportive peaks for comfort, and heat-trapping valleys for insulation, ensuring support and warmth all night. With an R-Value of 2.0 (R-value measures the material’s ability to insulate; the higher the R-value, the warmer the sleeping pad), it’s ideal for sleeping outside in spring, summer, and fall. It also makes an excellent insulating layer, when used in combination with another Therm-a-Rest sleeping pad, for winter and snow camping. Virtually indestructible, the cross-linked polyethylene material provides protection from rocks, roots, and sharp sleeping surfaces, and ensures durability for years of use. The Therm-a-Rest RidgeRest Classic Foam Sleeping Pad is available in three sizes: Small measures 47 x 20 inches (20 x 6.5 inches rolled) and weighs 9 ounces, Regular measures 72 x 20 inches (20 x 8 inches rolled) and weighs 14 ounces, and Large measures 77 x 25 inches (25 x 8.5 inches rolled) and weighs 19 ounces. Made in the USA.

    • Durable, affordable classic
Style: Regular - 72 X 20 Inches
The Therma-a-Rest RidgeRest has been a staple for backpackers and campers for decades. There are no moving parts, no inflation needed. It is very durable, very lightweight, easy to roll up and I just tie it up with a bit of twine or paracord, and usually attach it to the bottom of my backpack. I had one for years and years, and the material never wears out. I happened to lose it eventually, so I replaced it with the exact same model. It provides just enough padding and insulation to make for a more comfortable night's sleep against the little bumps of rocks and twigs and bumpy cool earth under your sleeping bag. Granted it's not rated for sub-zero Mount Everest type of snow camping, but for that type of camping, you know what you need. I've used the self-inflating type of sleeping pads, but they are cumbersome to pack, and I prefer the simplicity of this firm corrugated foam style that I can just roll up, tie up, and which is essentially indestructible, and lower cost than anything else. ... show more

    • The best product I never knew I needed.
Style: Regular - 72 X 20 Inches
I purchased this product as a sleeping mat for my dog on a deep winter backpacking trip. I only used half the mat for that. I ended up replacing the back/ sit pad of my Gossamer Gear Meraposa pack with a section of this pad that I folded in half. That turned out to one of the best last minute decisions I've ever made. It was light weight and comfortable as a backpack pad. I slipped it under my Thermarest X-Therm sleeping pad for extra R-Value and puncture insurance while sleeping at night. Most importantly, it was a fantastic sit pad that kept my body warm and comfortable sitting or kneeling on snow, ice, frozen rock, whatever. Sometimes I would sit on my X-Therm and put my feet on the RidgeRest to keep them warm or stand on it while changing cloths. I guess that torso sized section could have served as an emergency sleeping pad if my X-Therm broke in the night. It would probably be a suck night, but I'd live. My dog was happy with it as a sleeping pad too. It's surprisingly warm for as thin as it is. ... show more

    • Bulky, but I didn’t get cold!
Style: Large - 77 X 25 Inches
Bulkier than expected, it is a thick foam that you roll up. It’s pretty lightweight, but would seem too much for backpacking. We car camped this past weekend, so weight wasn’t a factor but it was another item that takes up space and it doesn’t compress at all. Weather was 30 degrees this weekend and I was sleeping with a two/three season tent with a sleeping bag rated for 10 degrees. I got really cold the last time we camped and I didn’t want to experience that again. I placed the ridgerest over a air mattress, below my sleeping bag and then put a couple of quilts on top of me. I tossed a few hot hands into the bag and they were still warm by morning. I slept in one layer of thermal underwear and a thin fleece jacket. I never got cold and did not have cold spots under me on contact spots with the air mattress like I usually seem to. I’m not sure if this product had the intended effect as my husband didn’t have one under him and did not get cold either. The product did not slip around as I had expected it to and stayed in place. I thought it would be uncomfortable to sleep on but it wasn’t at all and I couldn’t feel it. We are backpacking next month and I’m debating taking it since I won’t have the luxury of a mattress, however because of the size/shape seems like too much for my pack. ... show more

    • A SOLID mat at a great price!
Style: Regular - 72 X 20 Inches
This Therm-a-Rest is a solid mat. I used it once on a 3 night/4 day backpacking trip and it worked great! It was cold and windy at night and I definitely feel like it did help retain body heat. I've slept on your common, flat, yoga type mat that do okay for comfort but don't help as far as body heat goes. This one does! It's comfortable for me, but i can sleep just about anywhere.. a rock slab, slab of steel, most places so "comfort" isn't a major concern for me while backpacking and I was comfortable, warm, and slept well... and it's extremely light weight and durable. I backpacked in the Texas hill country/canyons and I'm definitely going to keep using it for now until it wears out. This is going back to the basics and I like that. A solid mat at a great price. ... show more

    • Good for a small camp cot like I have
Style: Large - 77 X 25 Inches
It is meant for sleeping on the ground while you are camping or hiking, or exploring in the outdoors or in the wilds, but I find that it is good to just put on my small camp cot as a "mattress." I live in a small apartment and I prefer to sleep on a small folding camp cot. This Thermarest mat just fits the cot as perfect as possible. This style of Thermarest is different from another I ordered ( from a different company) which had one side colored green and the other side was silver like aluminum foil supposedly to keep you warmer. This one the "Classic" has both sides colored gray. I like both styles but I have no if one would keep you warmer. I have not tried either for that purpose. I just used them to put on my camp cot. These mats have indentations in them and if you put them on the ground it might not do much to provide padding from the hard ground especially if you are a side sleeper, but again I have not used them for that purpose. The indentations might feel uncomfortable to certain people since the surface of the mat is not completely smooth. But I find that I am able to lie comfortably enough on the mat without putting a sheet or blanket on top of it . I don't know yet about the long term durability. It does seem it would last long if treated properly. If anyone pokes the material with a sharp object, of course it would get damaged. The material reminds me very much of the "Poly pad" that I used to have when I was in the military and which I had to use as an exercise mat. However the Thermarest is significantly better. It is a closed cell type of mat so naturally it is not like an inflatable sleeping mat. I have not gone camping with it , or not yet, but I have heard that it may be better to get a closed-cell camp mat like this Thermarest than an inflatable sleep mat because it is overall more practical. An inflatable can become completely useless once it is punctured. The Thermarest mat may not fold up compactly enough but it is lightweight and if you tie it properly with rope it should not be very hard to take it along with you tied to your rucksack. It also will not self-inflate like certain inflatable mattresses would because the valve just does not prevent accidental self-inflating. So I guess I would prefer the Thermarest foam sleeping pad to an inflatable mattress if I were to go camping but it can depend on anyone's preference or needs. Anyway , I think this mat is good. ... show more

    • A good insulative mat with little in the way of cushioning
Style: Regular - 72 X 20 Inches
This is a sleeping mat. I believe its primary function is only to insulate you from the ground so that the ground does not take all of the heat from your body as it could if you were sleeping directly on it. And it seems to work fine for that purpose. However, it is NOT a cushioned surface. Do not buy this mat thinking that it is going to provide ANY padding whatsoever. I am not a large man by any stretch of the imagination, and I still wake up multiple times during the night to change positions when using this mat. Most of the time, it was because a nerve of something was being pinched between my body and the mat. I noticed this most readily in my tail bone and in my elbows. My wife noticed it most in her hips. Its length is just perfect for me (a male of average height). I wouldn't mind if it were a bit wider, but you get what you get. It does seem to be made out of quality material that will not be breaking down in the near future. Also, it is nice that you don't have to worry about it deflating and losing all of its insulative qualities. However, the flip side of that is that is doesn't really provide any cushion (as already mentioned). Buy knowing that it is a quality insulative mat, but also know that it is not a cushion. ... show more
