I've just spent 3 nights on my new Thermarest and I can definitely say that I was very comfortable and I'm a real fuss-pot.  I bought the Thermarest Luxury which wasn't cheap £90 (I haven't admitted the cprice to my husband yet!).  I seriously got a good nights sleep while my husband slept on the blow up airbed.  He ended up on the floor, as usual, and had a bad night all-in-all.

We're off for a weeks camping soon and I'm going to buy another one for him.  I know it's a lot of money but I reckon it's worth it - specially when they come with a life-time guarantee.

I got my old Thermarest out of storage yesterday. Bought it back in 1992, a 3/4 length one. I'm using it as an exercise mat, trying to get the stomach into a reasonable shape before the hols - not much hope, but we try, we try. 

Anyway, I was very surprised to find how comfortable the thing is, I'd forgotten that ! Might just be looking at replacing the air-beds with 2 new super comfy Thermarests when the funds are available. No point in having a poor nights sleep on the hols now is there ?

We love our Thermarests too. One of the best bits of kit that we've bought.

This weekend we're staying at a friends house, there are three of us going, hubby, myself and a friend. There is one spare double bed - my friend can have it - hubby and I would rather sleep on the Thermarest! We can guarantee a comfortable nights' sleep.

do any of you use the thermarest basecamp? I am toying with the idea of buying one, still can't make my mind up as to whether it'll be comfy enough or if i should wait till i can afford the 'luxury' one...

Best thing to do is go and lie on them in the shop (ask them to inflate them if they are not on display - you can't be expected to buy something if you can't actually SEE what you're buying).  I did this and went with the luxury - I know it's a lot of money but I felt it was worth it.

Yes i use the thermarest basecamp, and i will say it is fantastic, well worth the money you get a great nights sleep much better than a cheapie mat by far...

 I'm going for the Therm-a-Rest DreamTime next, its the muts nuts in comfort but very expensive. I want one anyway sod the cost its 8cm thick too.
