Therm-a-Rest Z Lite Sol: Ultralight Foam Backpacking Mattress for Comfort on the Trail

EE: This item would be great for an ultra lite camper but it doesn’t work for me. I was hoping to use it for kayak camping but I realized It is to uncomfortable. I think it would for kids but not for an adult. I have a picture of it compared to the thick foam pad from Amazon.

Thad Ligon: Easy to carry, lightweight. I camped at about 4000ft elevation in the Great Smoky Moinyains Natl. Park, in early September with nighttime temps in the low to mid 50s (F) and my ground side stayed reasonably warm. Will definitely take along in future outdoor adventures.

ふか: キャンプを始めてから安いマットを使っていたのですが、意を決してこちらを購入。
他のマットとの違いに驚きました。
寒い中での使用はまだしていませんが、マット自体がとてもフカフカでこれ一枚で十分眠れる物でした。

マットに出す値段としては少し躊躇しますが、買って本当に良かったと思います。

Cory Fernandez: I recently purchased the Therm-a-Rest Z Lite Sol Camping and Backpacking Sleeping Pad to use with my Therm-a-Rest NeoAir Topo Luxe mattress and have been extremely happy with the combination.

The Z Lite Sol sleeping pad is lightweight and compact, making it easy to pack and carry on backpacking trips. It's made of a closed-cell foam material that provides good insulation and support, and is durable enough to withstand rough terrain. The pad also has a reflective layer on one side, which helps to retain heat and keep you warm on colder nights.

When paired with my air mattress, the Z Lite sleeping pad provides an extra layer of comfort and insulation. The air mattress is already a comfortable option on its own, but the added support and insulation of the pad makes it feel even more luxurious. I've used this combination on a few backpacking trips now and have been consistently impressed with how well it sleeps.

Overall, I'm really pleased with my purchase. It's a high-quality, reliable sleeping pad and has helped to improve my sleep on the trail. I would definitely recommend it to other outdoor enthusiasts looking for a comfortable and lightweight sleeping pad...

Alessio: Un materassino pratico e leggero che mi permetto di accoppiarlo al Thermarest XLight per dormire in tenda in ogni condizione!

Free Chinese Slave Laborers - Bezos: I’ve seen them, but hadn’t laid on one until I got mine. Very firm, but a lot more comfortable than I expected. Fine for sleeping on your back, but I have shoulder issues and the pad was a bit too firm to sleep on my side and not experience pain. I slept great though. It’s pretty slim, so big people, keep that in mind. I can see how this pad could be cut in half and still cover me from top of my head to mid-thigh.

Josh: If anyone tells you this is built for comfort, they are lying. It is not intended for comfort. It is meant for insulation to keep your body heat from seeping into the ground. I got this for that reason, to help insulate and as a cushion for my inflatable mattress, as a last resort if my inflatable mattress leaks at least I am no sleeping directly on the ground. Price was incredibly high, Thanks Joe, hence the loss of 2 stars.

Calgary47 Customer: It’s Awesome! That is, if you are 25, yoga fit and have no soul. Or if you are a back sleeper... or a stomach sleeper. But definitely if you are not a side sleeper. And definitely not if you are over 40. Even when doubled over my hips still can feel the firmness (like my husbands abs) of the ground under me, enough to keep me awake pondering my retirement savings and life without a soul.

Mid 40s women with (or in my case without) hips should not go near this. No amount of exhaustion from hiking, 80s dance partying, tequila and sleeping pills could help me overcome the discomfort. On the upside. Makes a great seat, kneeling pad and yoga mat- if you wish to do yoga while camping.

People over 40 using these likely have no soul and should be avoided. Do not attempt this at home or in the woods folks. It’ll take a few month of therapy (mental and physical) to recover from this experience. I am open to thoughts and prayers. 🙏🏼🏔 ⛺️ dang Thermarest, just dang.

Jennifer Norman: If you are used to mattresses and then you spend a night with this pad on a hard surface, it will feel a bit uncomfortable. Once you get used to it it’s a great piece of kit. The silverly lining seems to be rubbing off after using it only 4-5 times. Apart from that it seems very durable
