It seems the popular brand of sleeping pad seems to be the Therm-a-Rest.

Therm-a-Rest can be very expensive. Campmor has their own brand and brands such as Slumberjack that are a bit more affordable. What advantages does the Therm-a-Rest have over these types of pads?


Therm-a-rest seems to have a number of different models. If I purchase Therm-a-Rest then which one? I noticed some of them are short? Is this for short people or are your legs just supposed to stick off of the pad?
