SLEEPING PAD R-VALUE

Its All About Finding The Right Pad

A standardized R-Value may allow direct comparison of sleeping pad insulation across brands, but which R-Value is the right one? Figuring out the R-Value you need is a key step in finding your pad, which is why Therm-a-Rest developed an easy-to-read seasonality chart

We built this seasonality chart as a guide Variables such as humidity, type of shelter and personal preference all effect how warm a sleeper is on any given night No chart can replace experience for knowing the right R-Value for a personalized sleep system

THERMACAPTURE™

An innovative, proprietary material that reflects radiant heat and minimizes heat loss without adding extra weight or bulk

TRIANGULAR CORE MATRIX™

Patented technology utilizes two stacked layers of triangular baffles to create a stable surface while minimizing heat loss

WAVE CORE™

A single layer of horizontal wave baffles that slows convective heat loss without adding extra bulk

STRATACORE™ FOAM

Yielding the best warmth-to-weight ratio of any self-inflating pad, StrataCore uses a continuous layer of thermal foam nestled between alternating ridges of air and foam

PRESSURE-MAPPING

We use pressure-sensitive measurements to vary the support in our pads to provide intentionally placed support and comfort

DIE-CUT FOAM

A cut structure that allows for a lower density foam, which means a lighter weight and more compact pad

Thermal Foams

Open cell foam structure traps air to deliver a higher R-value foam that provides consistent support and durability
