Stansport Pack Lite Camping & Backpacking Sleeping Pad

This is a great alternative to an expensive yoga or excersize mat. I bought one a couple of years ago and was glad to see they've now installed D rings on the end so it will stay rolled up when you're not using it. It's also very durable as my kids like to slide down the steps on it.

Pretty cool this has a strap attached to it now, getting this thing to stay rolled up without it is a pain! I sleep on this at home on the floor carpet. It is the perfect bed for me! I need a firmer mattress for my bed but don't feel like buying a new one. I've tried sleeping on memory foam and a feather bed, but my back gets sore on that too!

Measures in at about 1/2" or so thick, it is probably the thickest of the ones offered, but still very thin. The pad does provide a water and cold barrier of substantial quality, and it does just about cover the full length of a sleeping bag and width if you do not roll around all over. The point the mat brings to mind is that it provides the most basic cover for terrain and will stop most small rocks or twigs from bothering the user. It however is so thin it will not provide much more than that for complete comfort. Doubling up is hardly an option as the pad is already enormous, measures about 19 1/2" and about 6 feet long or so.

I bought five of these to use as a makeshift mattress when camping. However, these pads are so firm that even five of them barely compress. It is much more comfortable than sleeping on the ground but can be hard for side sleepers. Two or at the most three are enough to insulate from the ground. These are very useful for sleeping on gravel or other hard, uneven surfaces as their firmness does not allow rocks and roots to push through.

This a a good "first time" sleeping pad for youngsters on a camping trip. Very light, good insulation, and has built-in roll up straps. Definitely NOT for an adult, unless you're packing light and/or use to sleeping on bare ground. ( Not enough padding for old bones. LOL!) As an emergency ground cover it's a great alternative. And a great price!

These are the classic blue foam camping pads, which haven't changed an iota since the '70s. They work just fine, and the price is right. Your satisfaction has to do with your expectations. You will not feel like you're on an air mattress. You will feel like you're sleeping on hard ground, with just a little buffering. You will like them best if you are worn out from hiking all day. You won't feel a thing, in that case. These are also great for lightweight people, like kids. In fact, if you have a large family and are not rich, I highly recommend these pads for the scrawny folks in your group. These pads provide enough cushion for the lighter and livelier campers.

It's ok for camping on for one night if you have a lot of covers...

This pad was ok for my camping trip. It was sufficient to provide some kind of padding on the camp ground but wished it would be thicker for comfort and protection. But overall it met my expectations.

This is a very thin pad, much thinner than I expected. It came torn, and I had to replace it. I haven't used it outdoors yet, but I don't expect it to be durable at all. I hope it will at least work as a decent insulator.

The bought the pad for a camping trip I was taking with my boyfriend. Him and I ended up using it as a picnic "blanket", a yoga matt, and a place to put our shoes on in the past couple of months. However, it definitely does not do any good as a sleeping pad.
