Switching to a wider pad

Switching to a wider pad (5'10" - 180) has made an incredible difference in sleep quality and this newer version of XLite is much quieter than previous models. Due to the quality construction I expect this to last for several years.

Length not as Described

Gear is important to me in the backcountry. I have been backpacking since I was 12 years old and did not start-out with the best stuff. So, I find it important to review what is supposed to be the best stuff. The stated length is this pad is 77-inches. However when inflated, it is 71-inches, about 1" shorter than my height. My feet hung off the end of the pad, during my week-long trek through Yosemite. In contrast, Big Agnes pads or Nemo pads, when inflated, are the stated length. I do not understand why Thermarest does not state the length of the pad when inflated. Seems like a very important thing to list on the specifications for serious backcountry people.

No more sore spots!

I just slept 7 nights in a row on my new NeoAir. I am definitely getting a better nights sleep due to the added warmth and cushion of the sleeping pad. I am so happy with it. Not once did I wake up with sore hips or an arm that had fallen asleep. And the noise reduction compared to the old models is great, there are no crinkling noise keeping me awake every time I move. It is easy to inflate using the bag and easy to roll up and move to the next site.

Do it!!

Wow. So nice and soft and somehow packs lighter than my old thermostat that is still amazing ten years later. Upgraded due to sleeping pad envy and went wide to accommodate our pup! I e both love it

Good Nights Sleep

I also took this sleeping pad on my sheep hunt and it didn't matter if I slept on my side or my back, I woke up rested and no sore hips or shoulders. Great job on this sleeping pad.

Perfect sleeping pad made in USA!

Perfect width for someone like me that moved around a bit. Would not want narrower. Thick enough to be able to deflate enough for side sleeping. And Made in USA!

Best sleeping pads ever

The absolute best backcountry sleeping pad I've ever used. I sleep better on this pad than on my mattress back home. Gone are the annoying crinkles of earlier Neo pads. Thickness a pleasure for my older bones. Worth every penny. Works especially well for me and my spouse when paired with groundsheet and double sleeping bag (from another great Seattle outdoor company).

Purchased June '23. Have used this for a backpacking camping trip into the mountains, so being light and super compact it's fantastic! (although a little slippery and easily slide off). Love the thickness, makes for a more comfortable sleep. Then for a solid 10 nights at sea level. It did appear to loose a touch of air, say 25%. Twice I had to re-inflate. My son used it, found it very comfortable, but again, slippery. We ended up wrapping it in a sheet, to prevent the sleeping bag from rolling off. I have a 30 year old original, sent inflating Therm-a-rest that has the fabric top. Works perfectly! I'd happily sacrifice a little more packed volume for the woven top...

The right pad for me!

I ducking love it! I needed a full rectangle shaped sleeping pad because my legs and arms will fall asleep if they over hang. It is over a lb lighter than my original pad with a better R rating and doesn't make much noise if any. I sleep very well and it will definitely get me through my thru hike of the CDT in 2024.

Awesome sleeping pad!

Great experience after coming from a ProLite that I've had for 20 years. Extremely small and light and very comfortable to sleep on, especially with the extra width from the square shape. Inflating and deflating is also extremely fast and easy. Highly recommended.

Absolute best pad!

Amazing sleeping pad! wow. i am backpacking the country for a year and thought long and hard about what would be the best option for this endeavor and believe I made the right decision! The pad takes no time at all to fully inflate. I sleep wonderfully due to the width, thickness, R-rating for all climates, and it packs down small and lightweight! Thank you so much to the teams behind this pad! It's the total package!!

My back thanks you

I purchased one for both myself and my son. I slept well for the first time camping in a while. My son loved how compact it was and the increased R-value over his old air mattres. His tent mates were jealous. He liked the ease of setting up and taking down.

Worth the upgrade

Just because you can sleep on cardboard, doesn't mean you won't sleep better on the neoair XLite. I should have upgraded years ago. Already feel much more refreshed the following morning of tenting
