I want to express my disappointment in Therm-a-Rest brand.Before a trip to the Caucasus, I bought ProLite Apex mats.And here’s what happened:This is such a «wonderful» mat that at some point I’ve got an extra "cushion" because the adhesive layers have peeled off inside the mat.That little "cushion" turned into a big bubble the next day!As a result, the mat turns into one big bubble.The funny thing is that when you lie down with your body on the mat, all the air moves into this bubble.The mat becomes thin under your body, and the compressed air in the bubble turns it into a «hard stone».So this bubble cannot serve as a pillow in any way - it is impossible to sleep.Two days later, the same problem occurred with the second mat.Now it looks like a ... MoreI want to express my disappointment in Therm-a-Rest brand.Before a trip to the Caucasus, I bought ProLite Apex mats.And here’s what happened:This is such a «wonderful» mat that at some point I’ve got an extra "cushion" because the adhesive layers have peeled off inside the mat.That little "cushion" turned into a big bubble the next day!As a result, the mat turns into one big bubble.The funny thing is that when you lie down with your body on the mat, all the air moves into this bubble.The mat becomes thin under your body, and the compressed air in the bubble turns it into a «hard stone».So this bubble cannot serve as a pillow in any way - it is impossible to sleep.Two days later, the same problem occurred with the second mat.Now it looks like a pattern!Dear engineers and managers of Therm-a-Rest how can you answer this issueand how do you compensate me for moral and material losses?

This is the best self-inflating pad Thermarest makes, and the cost is very reasonable. I think of it as the Goldilocks pad, not too thin, not too expensive, not noisy, but just right in every way.Pros: Comfortable, just think enough even for a side sleeper. Durable, and easy to repair if you do get a hole. Quiet, unlike many air-only pads. Warm in most conditions. Fairly lightweight. Packs down easily, and into a reasonably small space (especially for being self-inflating), Inflates very easily, almost all the way on it's own. Incredible value for the cost.Cons: There are warmer pads, lighter pads, thicker pads. But they all come at a greater cost, either financially, or with other caveats.If you need a thicker, warmer pad (albeit heavier), look to the ... MoreThis is the best self-inflating pad Thermarest makes, and the cost is very reasonable.

But they all come at a greater cost, either financially, or with other caveats.If you need a thicker, warmer pad (albeit heavier), look to the Thermarest Trail Pro, another great self-inflating pad.Why self-inflating pad instead of others? Super easy to use. Inflates on its own after 15 or so minutes. Very durable if you take simple care of it. If you don't inflate it to the "right" amount, it will still insulate very well (unlike many air pads). If it goes flat, you still have some insulation from the ground.
