I'd be interested to know as well, looking for the Dream Time pad.

Re: Anybody here sell Thermarest?
i do have a thermarest ... it's nice but i think it's just way too bulky for extensive carrying. also the self-inflation doesn't work even remotely as well as advertised.
next mat i'd get is likely an exped mat. notably smaller pack size. also the internal pump is
a) easier to use and
b) because you don't have to fill up the mat with your lungs, you get less moisture into the mat

Re: Anybody here sell Thermarest?
Go to Eastern Mountain Sports for Thermarest if there is one near you. They have an awesome variety of self, and manually inflating sleeping pads. Unless you are going to be sleeping somewhere that it is quite cold though, I would go with the dramatically smaller packed size of an air-channel type pad. The main benefit of the self-inflaters is that their foam density is quite thermally conductive.
