Damaged inflation valve (“bump”). This item is non-returnable and non-exchangeable.
Therm-A-Rest self inflating sleeping mat is a high-quality sleeping pad developed for the U.S. Army. This convenient and practical sleeping mattress, designed to meet strict military standards, has become popular not only among soldiers but also among campers, hunters, and outdoor enthusiasts. It combines the functionality and durability of a military-issue pad with the comfort of a modern camping mat, providing warmth, softness, and reliable protection from moisture in any conditions.
In camping use, the mat is placed on the ground, inflated to become soft and resilient, and then a sleeping bag is placed on top. In this way, the pad protects you from ground cold. It prevents your body from losing heat, which is crucial for outdoor sleep. This military mat also provides a soft, flat sleeping surface. Thanks to the air and foam inside, it cushions uneven ground (rocks, branches, roots), making rest more comfortable. Finally, this army mattress blocks ground moisture from reaching the sleeping bag and body, which is important for maintaining warmth and comfort.
The key feature of this pad is its self-inflating technology. Inside is open-cell foam that automatically pulls in air when the valve is opened. As a result, it becomes a comfortable self-inflating sleeping pad, insulating you from cold and moisture on the ground. With a high insulation rating (R 4.8), this pad is suitable even for winter use and can serve as a full replacement for a standard military mattress. It is made of 100% nylon — a durable, wear-resistant fabric that holds air well and resists moisture.
Another significant advantage is compactness. To deflate the mat, simply open the valve and roll it tightly, then close the valve to prevent re-inflation. When packed, it takes up minimal space (21.5 x 4.3 in / 54.6 x 10.9 cm) and weighs only 1.9 lbs (860 g), making it ideal for camping or tent use. It easily fits in a backpack for hiking or travel. Whether you are heading into the woods or mountains, on a fishing trip, picnic, or military mission, this lightweight pad provides a reliable foundation for rest.
This self-inflating pad is suitable for everyone: military personnel, campers, fishermen, climbers, or picnic-goers. Therm-A-Rest is a global leader in producing warm, soft, and lightweight pads for outdoor use, and this travel mat confirms the brand’s reputation for combining comfort, durability, and long service life.
