Therm-a-Rest revolutionizes camp comfort for spring 2025 with the most comfortable backpacking pad EVER
After more than 50 years of innovation in camp comfort, Therm-a-Rest introduces NeoLoft, the most comfortable backpacking mattress ever built
Seattle, Wash. (July 11, 2024) - Therm-a-Rest, a pioneer in outdoor comfort innovation, introduces the most comfortable backpacking mattress EVER built in spring 2025, the NeoLoft. Thick, light, plush, and compact, you’ve never carried more comfort deep into the backcountry. At 4.6 inches thick and 25 ounces, backpackers no longer have to choose between a light pack and uncompromising comfort.
In addition to the new NeoLoft, Therm-a-Rest is expanding its camp comfort category with an updated Trail Pro and new Trail ProLight in the self-inflating category. Listening closely to the feedback and needs of its customers, Therm-a-Rest is prioritizing comfort and sustainability in spring 2025. A recent survey by the brand shows that 42% of backpackers prioritize comfort over warmth, weight, and packability when choosing a sleeping pad - values that Therm-a-Rest has amplified in its latest designs.
“For more than 50 years, Therm-a-Rest has been on a mission to create the most comfortable night sleep outside,” said Brandon Bowers, Product Line Manager at Therm-a-Rest. “NeoLoft smashed this goal and is transforming the backpack sleep experience by bringing more comfort than we thought possible to the backcountry. It’s designed to go anywhere - near or far - and never compromise your sleep. For anyone who has spent time in the backcountry, you know how important that is - the better you rest, the better you adventure.”
NeoLoft: Revolutionizing Backpacking Comfort
NeoLoft sets a new standard in backpacking mattresses with its unparalleled comfort and innovative features. At 4.6 inches thick, it is the thickest backpacking pad ever offered by Therm-a-Rest, designed to provide exceptional cushioning and support. The 3D construction and ContourCore Matrix technology ensure optimal body alignment and pressure relief, while side rails enhance stability during sleep. The NeoLoft boasts a remarkable 4.7 R-value for warmth, making it suitable for a variety of climates. The stretch knit fabric is soft to the touch, and the TwinLock Valve system makes inflating and deflating a breeze. NeoLoft packs down to the size of a one-liter water bottle and starts at 25 ounces (size regular). For more information, see the product video here.
Enhanced Trail Pro Series: Comfort Meets Sustainability
Growing its camp comfort collection - for those who don’t want to compromise their sleep in the backcountry - Therm-a-Rest is updating its current Trail Pro, and introducing a new Trail ProLite to its lineup of self-inflating sleeping pads. The updated Trail Pro and new Trail ProLite feature Stratacore foam for enhanced insulation and comfort. The new stretch knit fabric is soft to the touch and contours to the body, relieving pressure points for a more restful sleep. The fabric is solution dyed as well, reducing the amount of water used in the dying process by 4.5 (Trail Pro) to nine gallons (Trail ProLite). The lighter and more compact Trail ProLite is a comfortable two inches thick, and 24 ounces (regular). The more comfortable Trail Pro is a generous three inches thick and weighs in at 30 punches. The R-value for the Trail ProLite is 3.8 and the Trail Pro is 4.4.
Therm-a-Rest’s spring 2025 lineup will be available at select REI locations starting September 2024, and everywhere else, including Thermarest.com, starting January 2025. To learn more about Therm-a-Rest and its award-winning collection of camp comfort gear, visit thermarest.com.
