Therm-a-Rest

Therm-a-Rest is a Seattle-based brand that dates from 1972, when Jim Lea, John Burroughs and Neil Anderson formed Cascade Designs to make and sell their self-inflating sleeping pad. The brand belongs to Cascade Designs, which also owns MSR, Platypus, SealLine and PackTowl.

Its range covers sleeping pads, from NeoAir air pads and self-inflating models to closed-cell foam pads, plus down sleeping bags and quilts, pillows, seat pads and ponchos for backpacking and camping. Most Therm-a-Rest products are built at company-owned factories in Reno, Nevada, and Cork, Ireland; the Irish site in Midleton opened in 1985.
