Therm-a-Rest Sleeping Pads

Therm-a-Rest was founded in 1971 by three former Boeing engineers who sought to create a more comfortable way to sleep in the outdoors. Their invention of the world's first self-inflating mattress revolutionized the camping industry, combining the comfort of an air mattress with the insulating properties of foam. thermarest.com

The brand has maintained a strong commitment to domestic manufacturing for decades. Most of their high-end sleeping pads are still manufactured in their Seattle, Washington facility using a combination of U.S. and global materials. To serve the European market efficiently, they also operate a manufacturing hub in Midleton, County Cork, Ireland. cascadedesigns.com

Today, Therm-a-Rest remains a flagship brand under the Cascade Designs, Inc. umbrella. The company continues to lead in outdoor innovation, focusing on ultralight and high-thermal efficiency gear for alpinists and backpackers, and is known for its proprietary technologies like the Triangular Core Matrix and WingLock valves.
