Therm-a-Rest's Fitted Sheet comes in handy when it's too hot to crawl inside your sleeping bag, and you don't particularly relish the idea of sleeping directly on the top of your mattress. This soft polyester sheet's elastic hem and bottom straps fit around a wide range of Therm-a-Rest mattresses. On warm summer nights, pull the Fitted Sheet over your mattress pad and snap this sheet to the Therm-A-Rest Tech Blanket (blanket sold separately) for a lightweight, comfy sleeping set that won't slide away from you in the night. After a long camping trip, throw the Fitted Sheet in the washing machine for a quick clean. *Stuff sack included.
Bottom Line: Pack Therm-a-Rest's Fitted Sheet and avoid spending a hot night sticking to your mattress pad.
I bought the fitted sheet in conjunction with the Term-a-Rest Tech Blanket, and I have to admit, it works pretty well. The sheet has a series of connectors around the edge that hooks up to the tech blanket to make an impromptu sleeping bag (my primary warm weather setup). connecting the the fitted sheet is 3 expanding straps on the bottom with material that helps make it non-slip. I have only used it twice so far, but it has worked pretty well. my biggest gripe is that it is a bit of a chore pulling the sheet over the mattress, but you can live with the inconvenience :) A very well constructed product as well, with reinforcement around the area where the inflation knob is located on a mattress. I believe anyone getting a tech blanket should also get this product as well.
I admit I was a little skeptical after unfolding the sheet and seeing that the bottom was only a series of straps. I thought the sheet would twist or turn off in the night. Surprisingly none of us have done it yet! However, I do have one "thermarest style" pad which is mummy shaped and the sheet really doesn't stay put. So I have purchased a set of the snap buckles for this pad and use it without the sheet and snap the quilt directly to the pad. So far the glue is holding but I only have one nights test so far.
