This is a honest good sleeping pad. I personally as a Boy Scout go backpacking a lot and I’ve gone through a few cheap sleeping pads already. However this pad is very durable compared to cheap sleeping pads. Not to mention it is thick, I love the thickness on it because my bum doesn’t touch the ground when I am sitting on it in my tent. The only down sides that I have about this product is it’s R value makes it more less a 2 season pad and it is not wide. My shoulders hang off the sides while I’m laying on it, but I am a side sleeper so it doesn’t effect me that much. However when I move around while I sleep every once and a while I fall off my pad. But all round I would definitely recommend this sleeping pad as a good starter, but it will only be worth my money if it had some sort of discount. 100 dollars is too much for this product. Personally I would hold on to a cheap sleeping pad a little longer to get a better more quality sleeping pad. Cheap is not the way to quality unfortunately.
Very comfortable. The thickness adds to the comfort. Really like the micro air adjustment, which I used after initially making it too firm. When not inflated it is compact And portable.
Bought 2 one for each of my kids. One works as you would expect the other on the very first time I inflated it to test in the living room will not keep air for a full night. Have tried it 3 nights in a row (my daughter is not sleeping on it) and it loses air every night. Disappointing to see a reputable brand have a 50% success rate.
Very pleased with this sleeping pad so far. It is easy to inflate and very comfortable. Rolls up and deflates in seconds for easy pack up. The one way valves are sturdy and easy to attach the inflation bag. It's a little noisy when you move around on it, but otherwise super happy with this and would buy again!
not bad. inflation bag works well. It takes < 5min to fully inflate the pad. The surface texture is comfortable. The whole pad comfort is not great for those expecting a good sleep.
I love this mattress. Easy to blow up, and wide enough for comfortable sleeping.
