Thermarest says: 

Comfortable, Versatile, Packable. Car camping comfort with backpacking specs—you’ve never slept like this in the backcountry.

Welcome to the comfort revolution and get ready for the most comfortable nights you’ve ever experienced backpacking. If an XLite NXT and a MondoKing had a baby, it would be the NeoLoft. With a lightweight and warmth-efficient internal structure, a luxurious comfort-driven 3D profile, and a silkysoft stretch knit surface, the NeoLoft is designed to cushion, cradle and contour all night long. Quite simply, it’s the most comfortable backpacking air pad ever created.

Packing luxurious comfort well beyond their weight class, our Backpacking Comfort pads are designed for those who want the ability to go anywhere—near or far—and never compromise on a good night’s sleep

Our Verdict

The Thermarest NeoLoft is, without doubt, the most comfortable mat I’ve used. At 833g for the Regular Wide, it’s not ultralight, but it still packs impressively small given its 11.7 cm thickness and generous shape. The stretch-knit surface has a soft, almost quilted feel, and combined with the deep sidewalls, it cradles the body beautifully, especially welcome for side sleepers like me. The extra thickness reduces headroom in lower-profile shelters, something worth considering if you plan on using this in a compact tent.

Inflation is quick using the TwinLock valve and the included pump sack, which, at 63g, is large enough to double as a dry bag in your rucksack—a nice touch for anyone looking to streamline kit. Once dialled in, the firmness stays consistent, and the R-value of 4.7 is enough for three-season use, dipping into winter use. 

If your priority is all-night comfort, the NeoLoft delivers in a big way without completely abandoning packability.
