Best cover available!!! Very comfortable!
Super light weight, and fitting perfectly to my Therm-a-rest NeoAir, I leave the cover on even when I pack it away. It still fits in the stuff sack that the mattress came with without any issues at all. As far as comfort goes, I've tried several other covers before dropping a few bills to get this one. This is by far the absolute best; it has the feel of my sheets at home (vs. the sticky feel of the mattress by itself or other cheaper covers available). I love it!
Seams like a small issue
I love the product. It's beautiful, it's a great idea and fits my pad well. However the seam on the edge ripped a little before I even slept on it. I'd give it four and a half stars if I could. I do love this company! I still recommend it. I was flopping around on my pad like a seal at a disco.
Best cover available!!!
I've used this Pad Cover for almost two years now. I don't know where'd I'd be without it; super lightweight and comfortable! I love my thermorest mattress, but I hate the way it feels without a cover. If you are choosing a quilt vs sleeping bag, then you are going to want this cover. If you are sleeping in a sleeping bag, it really doesn't matter.

GREAT gear! LOVELY company!!
One Fatal Flaw
I hate sleeping directly on a pad, so I was so excited to discover this light weight pad cover. The design is great, easily fit my Xlite, however, the material is so slick that I was sliding all over the place and my pillow would never stay on. On one of the nights of my trip, I had to pitch my tent on a slight incline. I woke up in the middle of the night, having slid completely off my pad.
Not so cozy
I was really hoping to get something that would feel lovely on my skin... like sheets on a bed. Although this is better than laying on my pad, it is not particularly comfortable on my skin. I did give it a rinse before I used it and I noticed that all of the water beaded up on it...I can only imagine in a hot situation if I were to be all sweaty that the moisture would just stay on top of it.
Would I buy it again knowing that it was made of this fabric? No, I think I would opt for some kind of a silk liner. That would be much more comfortable.
Just what the doctor ordered
I purchased this pad cover for one specific reason: to cut down the extremely loud and annoying noise my Therma-Rest NeoAir Xlite sleeping pad made when coming in contact with the floor of my Big Agnes Copper Spur HV UL 2-Person tent. Safe to say, this cover does exactly what I wanted it to do. I can now slumber in peace and quiet. It's extremely light and durable and is a cinch to put on and take off. Plus, this is the ONLY mattress cover that I could find that completely covers the entire mattress. Other covers only cover the top or fasten to the mattress with elastic bands. This is a true cover and a what all other mattress covers should aspire to be! Congrats to Enlightened Equipment for knocking it out of the park with this product!
Expensive but works for me
Replaces a sleeping shirt, as it makes it very comfy to sleep without it.
Makes turning a little bit more quiet, but not noise free still.
In fact I prefer sleeping without a shirt a lot in warm weather, so it is solving a significant problem for me.
Fabulous add-on
This is a fantastic product. It makes it so much more pleasant to sleep on the sleeping pad. I would however suggest you consider adding a pouch for a pillow. I do realise there are attachments for one, but I have not seen a sleeping pillow on your website which would fit the curve of the sleeping pad or which I could be connected to the cover. I use my EE quilt stuff sack as a pillow which I stuff with my puffy.
Great for hot weather!
I used this for an eight day kayaking trip off the coast of Palawan, Philippines in March with 80F temps and it made skin touching my Thermarest Neoair much more pleasant. It fits the Neoair perfectly however due to that takes a little finessing to get it in the correct place. Also worth pointing out in the photos. The fabric is actually the same color just due to the different weights of fabric on the top vs bottom in the photos the yellow of the pad shows through more on one side and makes it look brown. Great add on if you have to sleep directly on the pad without a shirt. I also have the older cannery yellow Neoair which is less nice texture wise than the newer ones. Its still going strong though after a ton of use!
Pad Cover
Great pad cover! Added comfort for very little weight. Fit Perfect!
Love it
Way more comfortable with my quilt, sleeping directly on the pad. I also sleep on the side with the slit and jam my inflatable pillow in there so it doesn't pop off the pad. Great cover, weighs nothing!
Quieted down my NeoAir
The first time I used my quilt, my NeoAir pad didn't help with the sleeping. Mostly the noise is what bothered me. With my sleeping bag I had not really noticed the noise, but with the quilt...
My next trip I had this cover on my pad. I purchased this cover hoping that it would help keep my pad clean, and give me something I could wash easily when it got dirty. Which it did nicely. The unexpected benefit was that my pad did not keep me awake with noise. Fit my pad perfectly, and I just left it on when I stored my pad each morning.
Exactly what I wanted
I bought this to protect my pad. It’s more comfortable then I was expecting. I leave it on my pad and it since it doesn’t weigh much I don’t even notice it.
I would recommend it. A little extra protection for your expensive pad is worth it.
Nice!
Take an annoying NeoAir XLite pad surface that is sticky and sweaty and for 1.5 ounces it is now very comfortable. And a perfect fit to the pad. I leave it right on during a trip and store it separately. Top notch product, very satisfied!
Pad cover
This little item really helped not sticking to the pad for my girlfriend. She uses a quilt and it really helped. I got one for use with my bag, and it really cut down on the noise my pad makes while scrunching around in the middle of night.
Pad Cover
A great item that should add a little protection to the expensive pad and make for a drier nights sleep. I plan to use with my quilt. Well worth the minimal added weight.
A little too slippery for my tastes
Maybe it's the way I sleep but I found this to be too slippery (I'm a side sleeper). I was constantly sliding off my Thermarest X-therm pad even on absolutely level surfaces. My tent floor is cuben fiber and the pad slide around quite a bit on that too. Not sure exactly why I bought this as I always sleep with a base layer to preserve my quilts. As I said, maybe its the way I sleep.
pad cover
This thing is so ridiculously light and small, you won't even notice it. The material is smooth although a little slippery. It still beats laying directly on the pad.
It fit my Thermarest X-Dream perfectly. The only improvements I'd add is a hole for the valve so it's not crushed into the pad when inflated. Also, the order form on the website wouldn't let me choose a color.
Good addition if you use a quilt.
Pad Cover
Recently used on a 4 day wilderness hike. It is worth its weight in gold! It is comfortable and prevents you from sticking to your sleeping pad. The fit is excellent and so convenient that you don't have to remove it when packing your pad. An excellent investment well worth it's minimal cost.
