Shattering the ceiling of low weight, surprising warmth and packability, the Therm-a-Rest NeoAir large sleeping pad sets a new standard for gram-counting backpackers and adventure racers.

  • Therm-a-Rest combines advanced, patent-pending technology and material with decades of experience to offer a virtually weightless, warm and incredibly compactible sleeping pad
  • Advanced fabrics and coatings brush aside the old limits of reduced weight to create the world's lightest air mattress
  • 3 times warmer than any other uninsulated sleeping pad, Therm-a-Rest NeoAir incorporates the R2 Barrier to reflect heat back to your body
  • Innovative internal baffling produces rows of cells that minimize convective cooling
  • Baffling also creates an internal truss system that minimizes the movement of air. Shift less and rest better!
  • Thermal efficiency without added down or fiber insulation saves weight and allows the Therm-a-Rest NeoAir to pack down to an amazing 4.5 x 11 in. (stuff sack sold separately)
  • Backpacker April ’09 says of the Therm-a-Rest NeoAir sleeping pad, “You’d think this pad had a built-in espresso maker after seeing the way testers bounced up in the morning.”

Please note: Therm-a-Rest products can only be shipped to U.S. addresses.

Made in USA.

    Comments about Therm-a-Rest NeoAir Sleeping Pad - Large:

    I wanted to hate this pad so badly. It's SOOOO overpriced, doesn't come with a stuff sack OR a repair kit, and just sounds too good to be true. Turns out I hate to love it.
    I bought one a few months back (I was lucky enough to find a large) and it wouldn't hold air overnight. Thus, I promptly returned it and wrote it off... But since I'm obsessive compulsive, I HAD to try again. Once again, I was lucky enough to find a large (after searching EVERYWHERE for a solid month), and this one holds air better than Michael Phelps. I spent the night on it with the perfect amount of air and it was more comfortable than my bed. Seriously. I also thought I'd hate the sticky coating, but found it to be incredibly useful when I turned sideways and my sleeping bag stayed put (I like it that way). I was skeptical about the "reflective heat surface" but actually noticed that where my body was, IT WAS WARM AS HELL. Seriously. The large size is PERFECT for me (I'm a fatty), it's wide enough so my arms don't hang off the side when I'm on my back, long enough so my feet aren't hanging off the edge, and so thick that side sleeping is not a problem at all. Perfect...
    So, in the end, I am absolutely PAINED to give this pad 5 stars: there is no stuff sack, no repair kit, and it cost more than my TENT... but after all is said and done, the ability to actually sleep comfortably in the wilderness is priceless. And since my large weighs at least a full pound less than any large foam pads out there and stuffs smaller than most REGULAR sized pads I've seen, I grudgingly bow down to my Neoair. The perfect air mattress.

      Comments about Therm-a-Rest NeoAir Sleeping Pad - Large:

      Just finished 20 miles in Yosemite's backcountry and 70 miles on the JMT with this pad, and it lived up to all the hype I read in the months leading up to my trip. Concerns raised in early reviews of the prototype (about the actual sleeping area of the NeoAir Regular) led me to go with the large pad. Having lived with the pad for 1.5 weeks, I now know that the regular would have worked fine, but I'm glad I chose the large. I'm 6'5" and 215 lbs, and the NeoAir Large has more usable length and width than my old Therm-a-Rest large while weighing substantially less. Never came close to falling off the pad, and heels and head had room to spare when sleeping on my back.

      In the field:
      -About 23 breaths at 10,000 feet for maximum inflation.
      -Inflate it in shade and there's no loss of pressure overnight.
      -Super cushy--deflate it while laying on it and discover all the lumps and bumps you never noticed the night before.
      -Warm. Unusual cold snap provided nights at 28-34 degrees F. R-factor appears to be accurate--I'm a cold sleeper but I used my 15 degree Marmot Sawtooth bag as a quilt and slept warm on those nights.
      -Packs small. Biggest drawback to the NeoAir Large is folding it in thirds (lengthwise) prior to rolling it. Discovered that laying on it while deflating, then gathering it up and hugging it against my chest removed enough air to simplify the fold. It then rolls as small as the day you unpacked it from its oddly shaped box!
      -Non-slip surface works well on sil-nylon floors.

      Summary:
      This pad is embarrassingly expensive, but the incredible comfort/weight/size ratio drowns out that complaint. I've never been motivated to publicly praise a piece of camping gear until I used this. I've been thinking about going ultra-light and I liked this pad so well that I'd buy the NeoAir Small in a heartbeat.

        Comments about Therm-a-Rest NeoAir Sleeping Pad - Large:

        This sleeping pad is the most comfortable I have ever used. I have never slept better on a backpacking trip. I am 6'0" and weigh 190 lbs. For a miniscule amount of additional weight and bulk, the large is the way to go due to the extra five inches of width. Highly recommended!

            I used the NeoAir on a 4 day trip this summer in the White Mts, NH. Camped on tent platforms in my NEMO Losi 2person. Large pad fit like a glove. Im 6'4" and this had plenty of length. Very Very comfortable. First time I can remember sleeping comfy on my side. Can not rave enough about this pad. Worth the extra cost.
