Sleeping pad Z-LITE™ Regular - Oak/Anthracite
A backpacking icon, the Original Z Lite closed-cell foam sleeping pad is ultralight, virtually indestructible, and highly compact.
Molded into a system of heat-trapping dimples, the proprietary foams are softer on top of the pad for extra comfort and denser on the bottom for boosted durability.
The accordion-style design allows for the Z Lite to be unfurled into a sleeping pad, folded into a convenient seat, or even used a mosquito swatter. With it‘s legendary versatility, there’s a reason so many packs on the trail have a Z Lite strapped on.
- Compact Design: Folding design is compact and easy to pack.
- Extra Durable: Virtually indestructible, the proprietary closed-cell foam provides lasting, economical comfort. Suitable for mountaineering, desert and general use. Ideal for long stays in remote places, because there is no risk of puncture and subsequent deflation as with self-inflating mattresses and air mattresses, any puncture or tear of the mattress will not reduce its properties.
- Layer It: Add 1.7 R-Value and protection from punctures when you layer the Z Lite under another sleeping pad.
- Endless Utility: Sleeping pad, sitting pad, mosquito swatter... Fold it and find your best uses!

Therm-a-Rest
In 1973, the first self-inflating air mattress was launched under the brand name Therm-a-Rest, which was the joint effort of Jim Lee, Neil Anderson and John Burroughs, former Boing engineers. In 1972, they founded Cascade Designs in Seattle, under which the world's first self-inflating sleeping mat was manufactured and sold. In the following years, Cascade Design obtained patents for their solutions and continually innovated their product range - in 1986 they introduced a unique foam mattress, in the following years sleeping bags, lighter self-inflating mattresses, air pads with an extremely high R-value, and in 2020 patented valves for the mattresses.
Cascade Designs also markets high-end outdoor products under other brands such as MSR, Platypus, PackTowl, SealLine.
