Nothing beats the cold, hard ground better than a Therm-a-rest*. And we were delighted to see that the US military picked great contractors for these self-inflating mats. At 20" wide and 72" long, it's a perfect mid-sized sleeping mat for backpacking.

*we have another variant made by Vinyl Technology, another contractor who made the same design under the same NSN.

While it's no inflatable mattress, a sleeping mat's main goals are to elevate your body off the cold and moist ground. Air is an excellent insulator and cushion, so by bringing you a mere inch or two off the ground, you're going to be a lot more comfortable and warm than just being on the bare ground. So why bring this instead of an air mattress? The answer is obvious - bulk. Self-inflating sleeping mats are far more packable for backpacking.

The 'self-inflating' process is as simple as opening the valve and allowing air to enter the mat. If you want you can inflate it with your mouth a little faster, but its not typically recommended or efficient. Deflation is easily achieved by opening the valve and rolling up the mat tight, forcing the air out.

Comfy

In the army these little friends make sleeping under a lean-to in a snowy 15 degrees on a bullshit field exercise. slightly more bearable by virtue of their comfiness. They also help convince your primadonna girlfriend to camp somewhere besides a glammed up campsite with an air mattress.

Probably one of the best drunk purchases I've ever made.

I'll be honest. I was kinda boozed up when I bought this. I think I had missed out on one of those famed pallet sales this amazing store does so I bourboned up and bought this thing on a whim. That was a little less than three months ago. I've had this thing either tucked away in my car or in my work truck since then and it's genuinely been super helpful on multiple occasions already. That might speak more about who I am than what this product is but nonetheless, I'm super happy with this thing. It's super comfortable but unlike my Klymit sleeping mat, I don't have to worry about it's ruggedness or cosmetic condition at all. That being said, it basically showed up spotless and looked like it had only ever been stored in it's past life.
