Summary:
Mine's leaked, I can't find the hole. It's now worthless. I only had it for a few weeks before it got a puncture, when I fixed it it seemed fine, but it deflates in the night. I'm going back to foam.

Customer Service:

Reviewed by: cmahar ,  Backpacker

Price Paid:  $50.00 at REI

Summary:
Thermarests sleep wonderfully when they stay inflated. Both of mine have slow leaks. I patched one after blowing it up and finding the leak in the bathtub but it still leaks slowly. It's a drag to wake up sore, puff a couple of breaths into the thing then wake up sore a couple hours later. And I can't find where the leaks are! They don't leak in the bathtub but they do when you sleep on them. I really wish there were some sort of self-healing or self-sealing product to seal the leak from the inside, sort of like the tire slime you put in your bike tires.

Customer Service:
Never used their customer service.

Reviewed by: Amanda ,  Car Camper , from San Francisco

Price Paid:  $80.00 at Bob Ward's

Summary:
Great for backpacking. Very comfy and the 25 in width is really a god-send- I cannot stand the 20 inch ones. I would rather shorter and wider than longer and slimmer.

But I do wonder about holes and leaks...I originally had the Guidelight and go a hole in it before I even left for camping. Since I was in a jam and needed something, I had to fork over the money and get another until I got back home to repair the Guidelight. I bought the Camplight instead- it was not available at REI and seems harder to find. Im glad in a way my thinner one leaked!

Customer Service:
Thermareat is not high on my list of customer service. Wehn I contacted them and told them of my leak/tear, they told me to purchase a repair kit. My argument is that I had not gone anywhere or used it for it to have a leak and thus is should be replaced or at least send me the repair kit. They said the store I brought it to would not replace it. I tried anywaym and REI did. ODD...

Reviewed by: Jim Meerpohl ,  Backpacker , from Naples Florida

Price Paid:  $49.00 at REI Website

Summary:
I love the weight comfort ratio on the 3/4 Camplight. I have Thermarest pads and this one is my personal favorite. 2 3/4 length 1" thick pads that were two narrow and two flat for me(6'2" @ 225lbs) but right sized for the BSA youths that occassionally show up without a pad, a 3/4 2" Camprest that is very comfy but a little bulky for backpacking. i also have a slumberjack 72" X 24" X 2" pad that is very comfortable and my choice for cold night insulation/comfort.
The no slip surface advertisement is bunk though. I have installed throw rug backing in strips on my pads and that has provided stability on hilly terrain.
Always take repair kits to avoid flats, especially valve kits. Shoe goo and duct tape work good for emergencies.

Customer Service:
REI is top notch when needed

Reviewed by: Peter Ask ,  Mountaineer , from Sweden

Summary:
Very good mattress! The size is adapted to grown men, but it's still reasonably light. I have used it on snow, rocks, grass and floors and it has always been comfortable and warm. I even brought it up to 5200 m (17200 ft) on Denali and slept comfortably in -38 C (-36 F). It can be folded and rolled to a nice package that fits into your pack or kayak.
