What inspired the founding of Therm-a-Rest?
In the early 1970s, three former Boeing engineers who enjoyed mountaineering recognized that existing closed‑cell foam mats were uncomfortable and cold. By putting open‑cell foam inside an airtight envelope with a valve, they created the first self‑inflating sleeping pad – revolutionising how people sleep outdoors.
Why is Therm-a-Rest often considered the benchmark for outdoor sleep gear?
Because Therm-a-Rest started the category with the first self‑inflating pad and continues investing in innovation – from ultralight air mats to advanced insulation technology – while maintaining high standards of quality, durability, and comfort.
How does Therm-a-Rest ensure quality and sustainability in production?
Most of their gear is produced “in‑market” (for example at their European facility in Midleton, Ireland), allowing tight quality control, responsible manufacturing, and reduced environmental impact – aligning with a long-term commitment to both users and the planet.

The sleeping bag kept me snug on a chilly autumn night. It’s comfortable and packs small; only downside is it’s a bit narrow for someone who turns a lot in their sleep.
Emily Parker
☆☆☆☆
Car‑camping with the MondoKing pad felt almost like a real bed – so much more comfortable than sleeping directly on the ground. It’s bulky but worth it for comfort.
Jason Miller

Used the NeoAir pad on a multi‑day trek and was impressed how little space it took in my pack and how well it insulated overnight. A game changer for minimalist backpacking trips.
Brian Cooper

The seat cushion is lightweight and makes sitting around the campfire much more comfortable. Only drawback: it could be a little thicker for long evenings outdoors.
Laura Mitchell
☆☆☆☆
I often camp in unpredictable weather – the down poncho‑blanket and compressible pillow made nights much cozier. It’s easy to carry and adds a real upgrade to standard sleeping setups.
