Therm-a-Rest Therm-a-Rest ToughSkin Sleeping Pad description

Bottom Line: Sticks, stones, and thorns won't hurt your bones when you're sleeping on Therm-a-Rest's ToughSkin Sleeping Pad.

this is definitely a tough skin pad. super tough and comfortable a little heavy and pricey but well worth it. i always say "you get what you pay for". and this one i have slept on every night for eight months and no leaks!

For my money the ToughSkin is the most comfortable pad available. I like my pad to have lots of "give." I.e., I like a pad that isn't inflated very much. With the ToughSkin, you can let a lot of air out and get a nice cushy pad. But, the ToughSkin is special because it has a layer of harder foam inside. This extra layer makes it so you really don't feel the ground no matter how little air you put in the Therm-a-rest, allowing you to dial in just the right amount of "give." I like this pad so much that many nights, I sleep on it on my wood floors with a sheet on top rather than on the bed. No kidding, its the most comfortable thing I've ever found to sleep on.

Good quality product. Light enough and small enough for my needs. I have another Alps product for the SO and mine appears to be better. First camping trip will be the test.

I bought the short Therm-a-rest Toughskin. I have used it twice and have been completly satisfied. Not only is it comfortable to sleep on, but I can lean it up against a tree and use it as a seat cushon without worrying about puncture holes. With a few quick breaths, the pad is firm. I actually let out a little air to make it a little softer. I'm 6'2" and the short version is plenty long for my torso. When I turn on my side, my knees fit nicely on the pad. I was a little concerned about paying so much for a pad, but you get what you pay for. It's worth it.

I had sworn off Thermarest due to a previous bad experience with holes and/or leaks with one of the first pads out by them. However, I needed to replace my cheap foam pad and chose to risk it again. I wanted the additional comfort of air cushion. After researching the options out there, I settled on the new ToughSkin (L) and have been really pleased. And after using it all summer in the granite mountains of New England, I couldn't be happier with its durability. Just wished it didn't cost a small fortune.
