It all began in 1971 when John Burrough, a renowned mountaineer, became aware of the lack of quality in the camping mattresses available at the time. Together with other enthusiasts like Jim Lea, they founded Cascade Designs, and launched the first insulating mattress under the name Thermarest (Therm-A-Rest). The launch marked a revolution in the world of camping and outdoor activities.
Since the creation of this iconic product, Thermarest has constantly improved its designs to offer adventurers unrivalled comfort. Thanks to their registered patent, the company has been able to focus on research and development to achieve levels of comfort that were previously unimaginable. Today, the brand is recognized as the undisputed leader in hiking mattresses.
The range has expanded over the years to include not only camping mattresses, but also sleeping bags Thermarest, as well as various accessories such as pillows and cots. Each product is carefully designed to meet the varied needs of campers and hikers.
Even today, mattresses (self-inflating or foam) are made in Ireland. The strategic decision to keep a large part of their production locally since 1972 testifies to a commitment to quality and sustainability. Indeed, when the aim is to offer the most reliable products for outdoor comfort, there is no viable alternative.
Thermarest is not content with being a world leader in outdoor comfort; it is also committed to a number of initiatives aimed at protecting access to natural areas while promoting sustainable management of recreational spaces. This includes participation in organizations such as European Outdoor Conservation and The Conservation Alliance, which work to make the outdoor world a better place for everyone.
