Sports reviews of Therm-a-Rest Trail Sleeping Mat
Customer Review: Excellent Sleeping Pad for the Money (also easy to repair!)
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I bought one of these as a beginner backpacker last year, with an eye towards keeping the pack weight down. I sleep on the cold side so I knew I'd have to go with a full length sleeping pad, and since I am still in the throes of college-kid poverty (grad school poverty now) I could not justify spending more for one of the fancier lighter ones. The one I bought a year ago still looks and functions like it's brand new! Very comfortable, I've used it in the Grand Canyon in mid 30's (Fahrenheit) weather on hard, hard ground, and didn't have a problem. I believe the regular is only 1.5 lbs (not super light, but better than others) and rolls up well; either get the stuff sack for it, or be cheap like me and hold it together with 2 ponytail bands (rubber bands that are covered with fabric, no metal)
One of my friends got one of these shortly after I did, and unfortunately on her second backcountry trip with it got a small rip in the pad (about 3mm long) Fortunately, because the trail pads are a soft, nonporous plastic, we discovered an easy solution: tape!
Plain, simple, opaque gift wrapping tape fixed the rip! I'm pretty sure it was Scotch brand. It wasn't originally meant as a permanent fix, but she's used it since then and so far so good!
Pretty cheap, pretty lightweight, decidedly comfortable, durable, and easy to fix, the Thermarest Trail Mat is worth more than its price.

About Therm-a-Rest
In 1971, Seattle aerospace giant Boeing announced the largest layoff in company history, resulting in 50,000 people losing their jobs. Among the jobless were Jim Lea and Neil Anderson, both engineers who were eager to get back to work. Turning to friend John Burroughs--an avid mountain climber--for ideas, Burroughs suggested a better sleeping mattress, specifically one that was lightweight, warm, and comfortable.
Taking their inspiration from gardening cushions that expelled air as the gardener shifted his or her weight, the duo took a piece of open-cell foam and sandwiched it between two pieces of airtight fabric. Using an old sandwich maker, they melted the fabric onto the foam, creating a bond that was perfectly airtight. After adding a valve, their prototype was ready to test. Within two years, Lea and Anderson had partnered with Burroughs to begin production of Therm-a-Rest pads, the world's first self-inflating mattress. Under the name Cascade Designs, the private, family-owned company has grown into one of the most respected outdoor manufacturers in the world. Still based in Seattle, Cascade Designs sticks to the same fundamental principles it was founded upon: providing relevant and innovative products, exceptional quality, and service that exceeds your expectations.
