Product Information

Important things to take into consideration: Any time you’re sleeping on an inflatable air mattress, it’s really important to adjust the air volume to adapt to the expected air temperature. Meaning that when it’s cold outside, the air in your mattress will compress. And when it’s warm, it’ll inflate. From 2020, there is a new industry standard for measuring the R-value (level of insulation) of sleeping mats – ASTM F3340-18. This new standard is the sleeping mat equivalent to the EN rating for sleeping bags. And Thermarest is known for having really terrific customer service, so at the very least, they’ll probably fix whatever problems you might encounter. The unrivalled Triangular Core Matrix offers the best warmth-to-weight ratio of any air sleeping pad construction.

Thermarest NeoAir XLite and XTherm Review - “Increased the comfort and thermal qualities making this the perfect option for lightweight wild-camping”

The Thermarest NeoAir Xtherm does a terrific job of retaining heat. Pretty much all of the mainstream gear testers have showered the Xtherm with rewards for the duration of its life. Overall, reviewers have given the Xtherm a 4.7 star rating. I had the opportunity to test the NeoAir Xtherm near the Great Sand Dune National Park in Colorado. I was a little bit worried that I’d turn into an ice cube overnight while camping near the Sand Dunes. It wouldn’t be the first time. But it actually took no time at all for the Xtherm to insulate my underside despite some pretty chilly temps.

Part of the reason it took me so long (2 years) to allow myself to go with an inflatable sleeping pad is because I’m always terrified I’ll puncture it and end up sleeping on the ground for an extended period of time. So far, the Thermarest NeoAir Xtherm has not disappointed in terms of reliability and durability. The 70D Nylon is particularly durable.
