You want the Silver side up, Yellow side down on the ground.

It's best to have the Yellow side of the Therm-a-Rest Z Lite Sol pad facing/touching the ground, and the Silver side facing your body in order to better reflect heat back up towards your body.

I would guess that since thermarest molded the name on the silver side they intended that to be the top. But unless the silver is a metallic paint then it just doesnt matter which side is down since light obsorbtion is what dictates heat.
