Just like a mattress at home can make all the difference (for better or worse)in your quality of sleep, so can a sleeping pad. A great one will keep you comfortable and warm, and help keep your pack weight down.
Our team of gear experts spent over 3,000 nights in the backcountry testing the top sleeping pad options from reliable brands, including Therm-a-Rest, NEMO, Sea to Summit, Big Agnes, and more. We’ve taken over 50 different pads to their limit on months-long thru-hikes, multi-day treks, and quick overnights to bring you this list of the very best backpacking sleeping pads.
