Sleeping Pads

Stay warm and comfortable with sleeping pads built for every adventure.

Sleeping pads are essential camping and outdoor gear designed to provide cushioning and insulation for a comfortable night's sleep. These pads come in various sizes and thicknesses to suit different preferences and needs.

The primary function of a sleeping pad is to create a barrier between you and the ground, preventing heat loss and discomfort. They are typically made from materials such as foam, air-filled chambers, or self-inflating technology for added convenience.

Pair your pad with a sleeping bag for warmth, upgrade to a cot or air bed for extra comfort, and finish your sleep system with pillows & bedding. Lightweight and portable, sleeping pads are a must-have for maximizing rest and recovery on any adventure.

Types of Sleeping Pads

  • Foam Pads: Lightweight, durable, budget-friendly
  • Self-Inflating Pads: Easy setup, balance of comfort & packability
  • Air Pads: Ultralight, compact, best for backpacking
  • Luxury Pads: Thick, cushioned, perfect for car camping
