Not all camps are made on lush meadow grass, that's why Thermarest designed the Toughskin Mattress. Toughskin is a puncture resistant bottom consisting of closed-cell foam laminated to the air-holding open cell foam above. Sharp objects may penetrate the outer fabric but the closed-cell foam is thick enough that the chance of a puncture is remote. It's a great choice for use in places where thorny debris is common, sleeping out on abrasive rock slabs, or just making sure that your mattress holds up during a lengthy expedition. The Thermarest Toughskin Mattress is field repairable, even in the unlikely event that it does puncture. It also offers an R-value of 3.5 when deflated, which is in the same range as the fully inflated Thermarest ProLite 4 mattress series.

Customer Reviews for the ToughSkin Sleeping Pad
Great Choice for bigger guys
After reviewing all the pads out on the market, and reading others reviews, I decided on a thermarest. The key problems other reviewers cited were weight, warmth, deflation, cost and lack of comfort. This is the one pad on the market that best resolves comfort, a very good R value of 5.2 on warmth and protection from punctures. It is a little heavier and pricey - but well worth it IMO. Since I am well over 6 foot and 220 pounds and using a down bag, I need a stronger pad. Down compresses to nothing, and if I sit up on the pad, all my weight is on one spot. This pad is pricey, but well worth the trouble considering my $700 marmot CWM down bag it protects.
Great pad!
Not quite my bed, but a vast improvement over my last pad. A welcome addition to my campsite.
Very comfortable
much better than my old Cablela's pad. I love to backpack but hate waking up 15 times during the middle of the night because of a sore back. This helps.
