## Description

The NeoAir XLite NXT is the ultralight air sleeping pad solution for year-round backcountry adventures. Therm-a-Rest refined its industry-leading air pad construction technique, the Triangular Core Matrix, to reduce the noise of the previous model by 83%. At 3 inches thick, with a horizontal baffling system, the XLite NXT delivers maximum comfort and consistent support at minimal weight and packed size. Weighing just 13 ounces (370 grams)—in the Regular size—and providing a 4-season ready 4.5 R-value, the XLite NXT excels at versatility by reliably performing in a wide range of backcountry conditions. Available in a full complement of inclusive sizes—Regular Short, Regular, Regular Wide, and Large—and backed by Therm-a-Rest’s limited lifetime warranty.

Review: Excellent for lie-flat airline seats - My use case is somewhat atypical. I bought this to improve the experience of flying overseas in Business Class. The lie-flat seats that most airlines use are decent but not that comfortable (since the bed also needs to function as a seat). Some airlines do provide mattress pads but they only help a little. There are also travel mattress pads (specifically made for airplane seats), but they are bulky and heavy. This product is light and small enough to easily fit in a carry on (laptop bag in my case). The included inflation bag works very well. I am 6' 3" tall, but I bought the standard size as the footwells on many planes are pretty narrow. This really made a big difference on two recent flights. It's a bit pricey, but given what business class tickets cost, it's well worth the investment.
Review: The best of the best - I did my research, and the NeoAir was always on top of the list. Once I pulled the trigger there was no looking back. It is the best pad I every have used in 30+ years of backpacking. Light weight for sure, almost feels too lightweight and thin, like it isn't rugged enough, but that isn't the case. It is tough, no problems with leaking or breaks. Nice thing is this new version is quiet when sleeping on it. It doesn't crinkle or creak when rolling around on it. Paired with a sleep system that has straps to connect the pad to the bag/quilt makes a difference. Buy the best!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked as advertised
*by D***N on November 1, 2023*

Small, lite, comfortable, and warm. I’ve only used it twice on a 49 degree trip, but I like it so far. It was quieter than I was expecting and quieter my tent partners Big Agnes Divide.
