Advantages: Very Light, Very Comfortable Disadvantages: Hard to get back in its stuff sac
...This was my second thermarest pad that i purchased after amazing usage of the first one.
It is increadly light and very very small meaning that it can be packed inside your rucksack along with your sleeping bag, not lashed to the outside of your pack.
The pad is very very durable and is not very prone to holes and if i ever do get one i have the free repair kit included in the stuff sac.
The pad is exceptionally comfortable and provides an excellent nights sleep for anyone who finds those annyoying foam things a nightmare.
The pad is a little pricey at £65 but i call it an investment as it provides so many more hours of rest that the closed cell mats.
Once youve gone thermarest, you never go back....

Advantages: ultra comfort without a bed Disadvantages: punctures
...Sleeping on the ground is never going to be quite the same as a comfy bed but as a frequent camper and trekker the Therm-a-Rest Ultralite is the only choice for me. I have spent nights on cheap foam roll mats but if you are spending anything more than a few days on the ground, you'll find foam mats become as thin as paper in no time. The great thing about the Ultralite is that it is exactly what it says it is - light - and also takes up surprisingly little space. A good night's rest means a lot to me when I'm walking all day long and if you are about to go travelling or just off for a week's relaxation, then this really is worth it. It's not that cheap, when you compare it to a basic mat that you can pick up for about £7, but the Thermarest will last you for years if you look after it. Punctures can be a problem especially if you...

...This is the ultimate camping mat.
When i first set my eyes on this product i was sceptical about the price. I had seen foam mats for £10, and seeing this for £60 i couldnt imagine myself buying one. But i did, and i have never looked back!
When backpacking for the first time, you try your best to get most things right. Spending alot of money on one product will save you spending money on alot of other cheaper products, but you will always end up purchasing the creme de la creme, and this Therm-a-rest is just that.
Its pack-size is amazing for what it is. No other mat can offer the same thickness (2.5cm fully inflated) for the smallest pack size of 28cmx15cm, which for a sleeping mat is tiny. Weighinhg in at 578grams is lightInflating is a ease by just opening the valve and blowing air into the valve slowly and in-frequently, as the mat...

This product is a Godsend! Especially for people like me with combination skin that tends to get shiny after a while in the T-zone.
I discovered this product on my wedding day thanks to my make up artist. She put some on my t-zone before applying... more
My title is taken from a line almost at the start of Beyond The Mat, and it's the common stereotypical view of non-wrestling fans. What sort of a person enjoys a ‘sport’, in which people beat each other up, except they don't really, because... more
Its another dance mat game, you can buy it for around £30 with the mat or £18 without, i believe any other PS2 mat will work fine with it tough.
