Full Description

The Thermarest BaseCamp Mattress is luxurious yet packable and lightweight mattress. Though it is heavier and bulkier than the mattresses in the Trek and Trail series, it is still able to be packed into a central camp where you are planning on spending a few nights and want a good level of comfort.

Thermarest have upgraded the foam to improve the insulation value and the stability of this mat, and at 5cm thick it provides great comfort. The foam is compressible and light, enough to make the mat suitable to trek to your basecamp. The WingLock valve system has a large opening for rapid one way inflation so no air is lost. The WingLock valve also features deflation 'wings' so the mat can be deflated and rolled up easily. With a classic Thermarest design it's tough, stable and excellent value as a luxury version of their classic mattress which is ideal whether you're car camping or setting up a basecamp.

My previous one of these finally gave out, ballooning in one area, after 2 DECADES of daily, well nightly really, usage! That's 20 years of sound sleeps both at home and base wild camping. For a hundred quid. £5 a year - not bad eh? As a woodsman my job is hard musculoskeletally and a back injury 20 years ago means that I can no longer sleep on a bed. So I can't really rate this product highly enough, since what price does one put on a good night's sleep?I looked hard at the £130 (poorly named) Luxury map sleeping mattress but decided against it because my usage is so much that I need to be able to both flip and rotate my sleeping mattress to ensure longevity. And hey, if it ain't broke. . . What I did do was go for the largest size one, the XL, but in hindsight there was no need. Excellent products, and made in Ireland not China so significantly better for our environment. I found Facewest's information videos very helpful.

my wife recommended this to me, shes had hers for 25 years and uses it for wild camping in Scotland. Works brilliantly but the secret is always store it unrolled and with air plug out when not in use ' then it will last years ' do not store rolled up. We do not find this mat too heavy or bulky to carry around in our back packs on long walks and over mountains. Because they are foam they give good support and insulation from the cold. I tried the air only ones, that did not give enough support and it was freezing ' I totally recommend this mat it is fantastic! I use it for my job as a carer when I do sleepovers too as it supports my bad back really well. So now I am totally equipped to get out there and see the beautiful Creation!

Have had a few thermarests and this is by far the best. It's warm and so comfortable. Definitely worth it.
