More and Less, the Best Place to Rest
Introducing the first new idea for closed-cell foam pads in decades: Through mathematical magic, we designed Switchback to be 20% thicker, more plush, and more comfortable than the current leading pads — all while packing down even smaller. The high-quality, dual-density foam is designed for reliable comfort and is metalized for a heat-reflective surface that traps warmth.
With Switchback, NEMO has redefined the classic closed-cell foam sleeping pad to deliver more thickness and plush comfort in an industry-leading packed size. This pad features hexagonal nodes molded with our dual-density Axiotomic™ foam to create Hypnoelastic™ zones that conform to your body in a perfect balance of comfort and support.
Switchback also leverages a metallized thermal film layer to efficiently reflect heat back to your body. Blend that with 15% more heat-trapping space, and this innovative new design is able to deliver a warmer, more comfortable sleep than other pads in this category.
