Thermarest's Trail Lite mats are mid range self-inflating foam mats that offer durable comfort, with larger pack sizes than a typical backpacking mat we think they are most suited to base camping.
Thermarest says: The ideal balance of weight, warmth, comfort and durability.
The Trail Lite self-inflating mattress offers an outstanding combination of comfort, compactness and value making it one of the best all-around camping mattresses available. Die-cut foam reduces weight and bulk while self-inflation adds convenience you’ll appreciate at the end of the day. In addition, its semi-rectangular shape increases sleep area and makes for better, gap-free mating of other rectangular mattresses. Stuff sack included.

Diagonally Die-cut Foams
Pioneered by Therm-a-Rest, this technology works on the same principal as our vertically die-cut foams, lowering overall mattress density to reduce weight and increase packability. However, cut at an angle, these die-cuts decrease the direct, vertical flow of air between the ground and the top of the mattress, resulting in warmer mattress with similar weight and compressibility benefits.

Thermal Foams
Thermal Foam is our proprietary, solid-core foam. While it may look like just foam, we have spent decades working closely with our supplier, evolving this most basic element of our self-inflating pads. The resulting foam is made in the USA, and optimized for the best balance of light weight, lasting durability, and uniformity of support.
