Thermarest BaseCamp

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

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!

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.

Very good mat for general purpose use. A little slow to self inflate and needs a small top up every couple of days. Very pleased with the product and the service from Facewest. Used it for a week so far and am looking forward to many years of good use.

Bought one of these to use while working for 12 weeks camping in the Alps, very impressed with how comfortable it was and how well it held up to day to day use for over 70 consecutive days. Used camping from 1000m up to 1600m and had no issues with warmth, probably a big heavy to take along if you are moving camp every day but perfect for car camping or any camping where you are unlikely to break camp every day.
