Equipment Class Sleeping Pad Buying Guide

Whether you are ready to buy your first mattress or plan to upgrade to a better mattress, we recommend that you carefully and carefully evaluate the use of the mattress. Here are a few questions for your reference:

1. Are you mainly self-driving camping, or are you on foot for long days?


2. How many days do you have in one year of long-term hiking?


3. If you walk, how far do you go each day?


4. What is the coldest temperature you have encountered? Will you camp on snow or ice?


5. Do you need a comfortable sleeping pad to make you fall asleep easier, or can you fall asleep whenever and wherever you want?

Many of our tests have verified that the Therm-a-Rest NeoAir mattress is very durable. Daniel and Donna took our NeaAir All-Season bike from Ireland to China. Picture Donna in the Iranian desert.

If you have just started camping and plan to take part in trekking, we suggest you use Therm-a-rest Z-Lite SOL. If you want the lightest and best-compressed sleeping mat for lightweight summer trekking, we recommend that you use Therm-a-rest NeoAir XLite. If you are on a regular long-distance hike and go through various environments, from the hot desert to the icy Antarctic, you will find that Therm-a-rest NeoAir XTherm will suit your needs.


Here are a few parameters that you can evaluate when choosing a sleeping mat:


1. Weight: If you spend more than 10 nights on long-term hikes every year, we recommend that you buy a sleeping mat that weighs less than 1 pound/454 grams.


2. Packing Size: If packing size is your primary consideration, buy a half size Therm-a-rest XLite and XTherm, and use a backpack or boots to keep your feet warm.


3, comfort: The dream is priceless. The most comfortable multipurpose lightweight sleeping mat we tested was the Therm-a-rest NeoAir Trekker. (It's square, not like other NeoAir series lightweight mattresses.)


4. Warmth: Exped's DownMat9 Sleeping Mat is the warmest sleeping pad we've tested. Some donkeys may find it more comfortable than NeaAir XTherm because it is square and about 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide. But it is also nearly twice as heavy as XTherm. We recommend it for base camping activities.
