Therm-a-Rest Fitted Sheet

This is the kind of thing I am normally skeptical about, because I am minimalistic. However, I also know the value of a comfy bed. I got these because I thought it would work well for attaching two thermarests together, to alleviate the dreaded crack and allow for better snuggling. Unfortunately, the snap tabs seem longer than necessary, and while the pads stay sort of together, the dreaded crack sometimes opens up to 2 or 3 inches between the two pads. However, the sheet itself makes the thermarest extremely comfortable (we are also sleeping under two snapped-together down blankets from thermarest, which are fantastic). So I think the coupling system needs improvement with these sheets, at least to find a way to make the thermarests really stick right next to each other without allowing the crack to happen between the pads, but even so, the sheet makes for a super comfortable sleep.

I bought the fitted sheet in conjunction with the Term-a-Rest Tech Blanket, and I have to admit, it works pretty well. The sheet has a series of connectors around the edge that hooks up to the tech blanket to make an impromptu sleeping bag (my primary warm weather setup). connecting the the fitted sheet is 3 expanding straps on the bottom with material that helps make it non-slip. I have only used it twice so far, but it has worked pretty well. my biggest gripe is that it is a bit of a chore pulling the sheet over the mattress, but you can live with the inconvenience :) A very well constructed product as well, with reinforcement around the area where the inflation knob is located on a mattress. I believe anyone getting a tech blanket should also get this product as well.

Bought for the Prolite Plus Sleeping Pad size Large & it fit very well. I was disappointed that the colors in the sheet I received look nothing like the picture (Stripe) that I ordered. I received a striped sheet that was very green hued, according to the picture it should have more brown & beige hues. I added a picture of the stuff sack (which is exactly what the pattern & color of the sheet is, just smaller) so you can see for yourself the difference between the advertised picture & what you will receive. The function was perfect, just disappointed in the color. The sheet is essential & kept my pad perfectly clean.

I admit I was a little skeptical after unfolding the sheet and seeing that the bottom was only a series of straps. I thought the sheet would twist or turn off in the night. Surprisingly none of us have done it yet! However, I do have one "thermarest style" pad which is mummy shaped and the sheet really doesn't stay put. So I have purchased a set of the snap buckles for this pad and use it without the sheet and snap the quilt directly to the pad. So far the glue is holding but I only have one nights test so far.

Works great with Prolite 4 and with the Therm-a-Rest Tech Blanket (Blanket isn't very warm though). Although it is a nice convenience to have it is definitely not necessary for a good nights sleep. Luckily it rolls up with my pad or else I probably wouldn't bother. Worth it if you have the extra money.

We use these sheets with a self inflating pad that is not made by Thermarest but of comparable dimensions. For our warm weather camping, they are great and if I'm not washing them, they roll right up with the pad. They stay put on the pads, even with wiggly grandchildren.

Part of my sleep system...Using the sheet with my NeoAir, down comforter, and compressible pillow has really made a big difference in the quality of comfort and sleep on my backcountry adventures. Outstanding, lightweight, and quality materials. Very pleased with this system.
