Why We Love This Deal
REI just went live with its annual Member Appreciation Month, which runs through the end of March and comes with the cash-back rebate that's a key benefit of having a membership. Many REI members use this as a chance to stock up and save a little extra on camping gear for spring and summer. Conveniently, now is also around when the retailer marks down past-season gear that'll still be usable when it warms up. One product that's sure to turn heads is this versatile sleeping pad and its 40% discount.
The NRS Snooze Pad 2 Sleeping Pad is on sale for $180, which is $120 off the original $300 price tag. This item boasts a perfect five-star rating at REI thanks to five lengthy, raving reviews. It comes in two colors, blue and black, that share the same stellar savings.

With PVC-free nylon and RF-welded seams in its makeup, this sturdy, 2-inch thick sleeping pad is ready to take on the wilderness. It’s waterproof and employs a dual-foam core to ensure you sleep soundly on it. Crucially, it’s insulated, so you won't freeze from cold ground temperatures, and it can even be used to safeguard your stuff from the sun.
With this in mind, this versatile pad is probably best for car camping or mobile camping in your car because its 6 pounds will weigh on you a bit if you’re carrying it in your pack every single day. Regardless of how you use it, this top-rated REI find should last, and it even comes with a repair kit.
As for the price, this is a promising deal. If you sign up for an REI membership before Thursday, March 12, you’ll receive a $30 bonus that can knock this pad’s price all the way down to $150. Even without that discount—and the coupons, special pricing, and trade-in perks an REI membership includes—this pad still costs less than it does at Backcountry, which is selling it for $225.

What Campers Are Saying
If you want a sleeping pad that does more than just provide you with some good rest, shoppers say this is a great option. “I used the pad on a recent trip and love that it is multi-functional,” they began. “It serves as a sleeping pad, cooler topper (both more comfortable and better insulation), and just a general sit pad that can be used on almost any surface. I enjoy the durability of the material (don't have to worry about it popping like backpacking pads), and the fact that it is self-inflating helps avoid the dreaded lightheadedness.”
Another camper from North Carolina said something similar, highlighting the pad’s versatility in the great outdoors or in the car. “A great, all-purpose insulator,” they said. “While it was made for rafting down a river, I use this in the back of my truck bed to wrap around coolers or layer on top of bags…I highly recommend this as a great sleeping pad and as a piece of all-around utility gear.”
No matter how you use the NRS Snooze Pad 2 Sleeping Pad, it comes at a fair price. Enjoy the 40% discount today, while it's still around.
