Therm-a-Rest Ridge Rest Classic Mattress

I still have my original Therm-a-rest classic Mattress. At 30 years old it got me through years of camping with Girl Guides and is now used by my kids for Scout Camps. Great mattress that is lightweight, provides the insulation better then a coleman air mattress for the cooler weather camping (although for snow camps, add a wool blanket). This mattress will be used by my grand kids one day. Was the best birthday present a 10 year old could get from a relative. This is great for a Youth who sleeps on anyside. Now that I am in my 40s and a bit overweight i can still stomach sleep on it but it isn't as friendly on the hips.

For when you need something bomb proof that has no possibility of letting you down. Serves its purpose perfectly. Not the most advanced or comfortable pad out there but if you want to travel hard and fast and not worry about holes or deflation , give this a try.

I have 2 Ridgerest pads. I use one as extra comfort on top of my yoga mat. Purchased 10 yrs ago Can't live without it!!!!! Use it daily. Pure pleasure. I use the 2nd one, purchased 2 yrs. ago, for comfort, lying on the stone deck of an outdoor pool in the summer. I do not allow it to get wet. I also use one as cushioning to do ankle/leg balance exercises for rehab after a broken ankle. One constructive criticism, the first mat, bought 10 years ago, is shorter than the newer mat. I much prefer the shorter one. Fabulous investment. Joy in my life.

Works great for the extra insulation/cushioning I wanted. Happy that this quality product is still being made.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I bought my ridge rest a few years ago. Use it on the ground and on the cot. In minus 30 degrees, winter camping with a cot. It kept condensation away from my backside. That's why I bought it and it worked. Same for ground application. Still in great shape.

Used it on my cot and was surprised how much different the temperature was without it. Light weight, good bang for your buck.

I bought the RidgeRest Classic for a camping trip in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. I had been using a backpacking inflatable (small) sleeping pad from another company. This pad kept deflating during the night and got holes in it too easily. I needed a pad that would not get holes in it and could survive if my three year old and 18 month old children decided to be monkeys in the tent. The RidgeRest Classic seems light and rolls up nicely into a compact shape for packing. It is made from a material that can withstand rugged conditions but is also comfortable for sleeping.

Perfect, straight forward, not fancy... can't poke a hole in it! Used the pads for years... glad to see the pad available again!
