What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
“This seat is a lifesaver on minimalist trips. It’s light, packs small, and adds instant comfort whether I’m on the trail or taking a break at camp. I even use it as extra support in my frameless daypack. It’s one of those items you won’t leave behind once you try it.”
The Therm-a-Rest Lite Seat is a pocket-sized luxury we bring everywhere, from quick day hikes to multi-day treks. Inspired by the iconic ProLite™ mattress, this self-inflating seat offers 1.5 inches of foam cushioning for warmth and comfort, ensuring a cozy spot wherever we take a break.
Compact and lightweight, the Lite Seat is perfect for minimalist adventurers. It rolls up tightly with its integrated bungee closure, taking up minimal space in our packs. For frameless daypacks, it doubles as supportive padding, making it even more versatile. Whether sitting trailside or enjoying a campfire, the Lite Seat delivers comfort without compromise.

Very Surprised!
Very comfortable and compact. First trip with pad was on a sub freezing back packing trip and to my surprise on the first use and every use after the seat almost seemed to be warming my butt. Ended up getting three of the other back packing companions of mine to get one because they tried it out and were just as amazed as I was.

Great until it died.
Despite the eye watering colors generally a good pad. Packs down small and inflates and deflates quickly. The issue I had is about day five of a seven day photography trip it developed a serious leak leading to a very flat un-cushion when in use and expanding just enough to be an annoyance in my bag. I’ll look for the leak, repair it and maybe get some dye to tone down the color. Loved it when it worked though so hopefully that will fix the cushion and it can return to use. Probably add sealant to my packing list as well.

Unwavering quality!
1. Delivery duration was fast. 2. Cushion is more comfortable than before. I have two Seat since 25 years ago. I'm still using your company's seat with my wife each when we take hiking and mountaineering. 3. Weight is also good too. 4. The size pakced is more smaller than orginal seat.

Very light and comfortable. However
Very light and comfortable. However the older design my partner has is thinner, just as comfortable yet more packable. I probably would have liked it to be more compact. Otherwise a good product.
