NEMO has redefined the classic closed-cell foam sleeping pad with the Switchback, delivering more thickness and plush comfort in an industry-leading packed size. Hexagonal nodes molded with dual-density Axiotomic™ foam create Hypnoelastic™ zones that conform to your body in a perfect balance of comfort and support. A metallized thermal film layer efficiently reflects heat back to your body, and 15% more heat-trapping space means the Switchback delivers a warmer, more comfortable sleep than other pads in its category. No valves, no leaks, no setup — just unfold and sleep. Works equally well solo in warm conditions or layered beneath an air pad for added warmth and protection.
