Comments about Therm-a-Rest BaseCamp Sleeping Pad - Regular:
Picked this guy up at the garage sale with the complaint on the tag "too big and heavy". At the risk of irritating the ultralight guys, I don't see how. Although it doesn't pack up as tiny as a superlight pad, it's small and light enough to strap above my tent on the outside of my pack, and waayy more comfy than those minimalist pads.
I like to let it self inflate and add a couple of puffs of hot air to give it a little extra loft. Very comfy to sleep on and easy to inflate/deflate. I recommend buying a couple of 24" buckle straps to cinch down and tether, as the "stuff sack" could fit a couple of these pads.

Comments about Therm-a-Rest BaseCamp Sleeping Pad - Regular:
Overall, this is the best pad I've used in 35 years of beating up gear. Don't fear the ounces! Your back will thank you every morning.
I bought this pad to fit into my 1-man tent on multi-day climbs and kayaking trips, as well as car camping in the family tent. We also have the full-size version I bought last minute when an old pad developed a fatal puncture. The wife immediately claimed the new one as her own! Best sleep I'd ever had in a tent, but the larger size was too big for the 1-man, and really not meant for long hikes. So, I sought out the Regular size to better suit my needs.
Even though I hike as minimally as possible, I decided years ago that a little extra weight on my back during the day would translate into exponential rewards if I got a better night's sleep. That meant a thicker pad. This delivered!
The small amount of added weight also means more durable fabric over the lightweight products I have owned. They save weight by sacrificing fabric, after all! No sliding during the night, either. Price was great.
While I only hike/camp 3 seasons now in N New England, I'd be very warm in the winter with this pad, I feel.
Cons - Pad came with a rugged storage bag, but no straps to keep from unrolling slightly before putting it in. Easily solved, but it would have been nice. Also, would have benefitted from having a hanging strap. Not everyone stores this way or would care, though. I honestly don't see many of these with this feature anymore. No other complaints.
Enjoy!!

Comments about Therm-a-Rest BaseCamp Sleeping Pad - Regular:
This pad is amazing! I was looking for a good balance of weight to comfort, and this fits the bill perfectly. It falls in the same weight and price range as most of the common outfitter pads, but it is 2" thick and (as with most Cascade Designs products) made in the U.S.A. That extra .5 - 1" padding makes a huge comfort difference over the ultralight pads when sleeping on rocky terrain. This is a very comfortable pad that will keep you insulated from the ground for a good night's sleep. I use it for backpacking when I am only going for one or two nights, and for all of my car camping trips. Five stars!

Comments about Therm-a-Rest BaseCamp Sleeping Pad - Regular:
I purchased this in town at [...], I was really struggling between a few pads. The NeoAir was loud and crunchy, some of the ultra lights felt like they would pop. This mat is perfect! I travel a lot with the Marine Corps, and needed something that would hold up, and let me sleep tight when sleeping in places where there is no beds. I also wanted something for backpacking, and this baby is nice. I consider it light only 2 1/2 pounds about, for extra comfy nights rest. I would carry another pound any day so that my back does not hurt the next morning. Don't think about it just buy it!

Comments about Therm-a-Rest BaseCamp Sleeping Pad - Regular:
I've had the pad now for over 4 years and it's been a workhorse for me. I've used it in warm weather as well as cold weather and it easily inflates every time and packs down rather well considering it's size.
I would recommend following the directions and keeping the pad inflated when not in use (it inflates much easier).

Comments about Therm-a-Rest BaseCamp Sleeping Pad - Regular:
I was issued this exact pad by the U.S. Army. It works. I have used the pad directly on snow, concrete, carpet, dirt, sand and mud. It creates a great thermal barrier. I have noticed a difference in the temperature in my sleeping bag when using this and when stuck without it. The only issue that this pad has is that it is very large. The self inflating air cells inside obviously don't allow it to roll up paper thin but I do think the extra space that this WILL take up is worth the advantages of a sleeping pad. I have not had the privilege of using another brand of sleeping mat so I am unsure how it stacks up against other manufacturers.

Comments about Therm-a-Rest BaseCamp Sleeping Pad - Regular:
We went car camping for a week and these were perfect. Kept us warm and comfy. We had some cold rainy nights and didn't feel any of the cold ground under our pads. Inflate on their own but require a few good puffs to really fill them up. It's work to deflate them and takes a bit of time. I would think these are too heavy for backpacking, but were perfect for car camping when you want to still feel like you are roughing it. They slid around a little while we slept but over all no complaints from anyone.

Comments about Therm-a-Rest BaseCamp Sleeping Pad - Regular:
Overall this pad is exceptional. I am just getting started into the world of backpacking, and I consider myself a minimalist who chooses his battles, and one area that I didn't go minimalist was my pad. This pad's weight and size aren't too much greater than the more minimalist options, but it provides a lot more comfort. I ended up just strapping mine to the outside of my pack and it worked quite well. I did find myself slipping around on it a bit at night, but not so much that it hindered my sleep. I highly recommend this pad if you don't mind a little bit of extra bulk, and you like getting a good night's rest.

Comments about Therm-a-Rest BaseCamp Sleeping Pad - Regular:
So far I have only taken this pad car camping, but I'm planning on getting into backpacking a little further down the road. I got this pad because of other reviews which list it as large, but worth the weight for a good night's sleep. So far so good, in that regard. After the first initial inflation it inflates very well all on its own. It's super comfy and doesn't slip on the floor of my tent and only a little on back of my sleeping bag.
