When it comes to bedding down in a tent, having a good camping mattress can be the difference between an excellent night’s sleep or one spent wriggling and jiggling trying to get comfortable or warm.
Therm-a-rest’s ProLite 4 provides the ultimate combination of comfort and rugged durability with minimal size and weight. This mattress which is suitable for year round use is self-inflating, needing just one or two full lungfuls of air to complete the process, so it won’t leave you blue in the face either. And putting it away is easy too. The tapered and ergonomic design means it rolls up with minimal effort to the size of a loaf of bread for easy carrying. It also has a non-slip bottom to keep the mattress from sliding.
Both the men’s and women’s versions come in three different sizes (large, regular and small) and the women’s version has extra warmth at foot and torso area where women need it most. (Regular men’s €99, regular women’s €89.) Thanks to innovative new materials, the biggest version weighs just 932g so it’s great for mountaineering, winter camping, backpacking, and multi-day adventures.
Available from 53° North in Carrickmines and Blanchardstown; Great Outdoors, Dublin 2; Cotswold Outdoors, Belfast; Tiso, Belfast; Spórt Corrán Tuathail, Killarney; and River Deep Mountain High, Limerick and Galway.
