Happy with pad but not the sack
Yes , I recommend this product
The sleeping pad is easy to use and comfortable. It is quiet, meaning that it doesn’t “crinkle” when I roll over. The outer fabric is soft and feels good. My one issue is the stuff sack, which is far too tight, or perhaps the mattress doesn’t completely empty. With extreme effort I can only get the pad halfway back into the sack.

Wow. Very comfortable. I would
Wow. Very comfortable. I would vote this pad as one of the most versatile pads on the market. No crinkle sound. Very durable bottom to withstand puncturing. Soft top layer for better sleep. I have the rectangular large and recommend that version. This pad has not been getting enough attention.
