Thermarest Prolite Apex Heat Sleep Mat

I’ve had a Thermarest 1” 3/4 length self inflating pad for 20 years and it’s still going strong. However , as I get older comfort is a bigger priority. I’d looked at some of the air mattresses on the market but was worried about the reference to how noisy some are. Also like the idea of self inflating plus a couple of puffs to finish. Really pleased with the purchase. Easy to inflate, really comfortable. As I sleep warm it’ll do me all year round. Light weight and compact enough for backpacking or cycle touring. I also like the new valve system which makes topping it up and adjusting the support really easy. Probably not the answer for the ultra light brigade but perfect for everyone else. My only criticism is that for this price point a temp repair kit should be included not an extra.

Best practical combination of light weight, compact pack size, comfort and warmth.I've never had a mat with additional insulation and it makes a big difference to my sleep experience. Fairly expensive, but worth it. I still use my original lightweight Thermarest after 25 years

Not a noisy mattress . I was worried it might be slippy and bought the material cover for it, bit I dont think this is necessary after all

happy with purchase

I bought this to replace an old thermarest that wasn't holding air anymore. My old one was only an inch thick, but inflated easily and was pretty durable. I expect this one to be similar, except it inflates thicker.Oh my goodness, does the extra inch ever make a difference! I'm usually a side sleeper, but I always have to sleep on my back whilst camping. I think I was actually able to sleep on my side on this pad, but even on my back it's really comfortable. The quality seems high, it packs nice and small. I'm pretty happy so far. If it's even half as durable as my last one, this is a great product.

This is a review of a first test in the local park. Will update once tested in the field in the following temperature range: 5-20C.Now... Dimensions first: I am 5'8" (178.cm) and weigh 185 lbs (85 kg). So I got the R size. I also got the Thermarest Questar 32F/0C down sleeping bag to be able to strap it onto the pad.So far, product build is quality. I haven't found any defects. The valve technology they use seems great. Really easy to use. Also really easy to inflate by mouth. I don't have a pump bag etc...What leaves me confused is that I was under the impression this was a self-inflating pad. However, upon unrolling it and opening the valve, nothing happened. I had to start inflating it by mouth. No big deal as it is very easy to do so. Perhaps after storing it according to ThermaRest's specs, it will self-inflate a little.Color is great and fabric feel is wonderfully smooth and soft.With the discount, it is a no-brainer buy. I also have a ThermaRest Z Lite SOL R=2 sleeping pad, which comes in handy as a first layer beneath this air pad to protect it from abrasion when sleeping on stony ground. ThermaRest doesn't recommend putting the air pad directly on to top of hard and abrasive surface, which makes sense because you can see that the fabric is not designed to withstand repeated shuffling to and fro over gravel or stones. Over the years, if you use it like this, you probably will wear the fabric thin or even puncture it. But It am not saying it looks or feels that fragile. It is not. It's gonna last you years. It's just if you don't want the hassle of repairing it, put either a blanket, tarp, or another foam pad under it.That last thing to keep in mind, size-wise, is that it fits me perfectly but with no room to spare left or right. Also, my legs spread out when I sleep and this means that from mid-calf, my leg touches the groud and it s not on the pad as the latter tapers significantly in that region.This is one of the reasons I decided to pair it with a sleeping bag from ThermaRest as well. Their sleeping bags come with straps that will keep the pad in place. And the legs being trapped in a sleeping bag that tapers like the air pad, I figured this is an issue that will go away, that is to say, the lower half of your legs will be aligned by the sleeping bad withing the same surface as.the air pad. Will test later and edit this review.In any case, I am satisfied with my purchase and both items from ThermaRest seem quality built. So go for it! If you don't like it, Amazon has a return policy anyways.

Gillade att den var så kompakt, har den i båten då jag får ont i ryggen utan madrass.Man blåser upp den mera manuellt.
