ProLite Mattress

There's that scene in almost every Western film when Our Hero is camping under a starry night sky, his saddle for a pillow and the bare earth his only bed. He wakes up rested, eats a bacon-and-hard-tack sandwich and gets back to the hard life of riding the range. But you're on foot, and he's an actor. You carry your gear, and that guy got a massage in a trailer after he pretended to grab some shut-eye. You need a Therm-A-Rest ProLite, because you're not a fictional character.

Therm-A-Rest continues to improve on something great. The ProLite's lightweight comfort is even better than before, with die-cut foam and a tapered design to eliminate any extra weight and bulk. The diagonal-cut foam also helps insulate your body more efficiently than flat-foam mattresses. When all is said and done, the mattress is 20% lighter than previous ProLite models. Therm-A-Rest even accounted for that tendency for the mattress to slide out from under your sleeping bag, by adding grips to the bottom and a textured surface to the top of the mattress, keeping everything right where you want it.
