I am writing this revue after one use but I don’t think my opinion is going to change much. Here’s what I did like about it: I am 5’10’ and the regular length is long enough. It was very easy to inflate- it’s labeled as self inflating which is does a little but a few puffs and it’s inflated so very easy. It’s not slippery so I did not have the problem or rolling off! My one real complain is that the standard size one is not wide enough for someone like me that sleeps on their side. It was either my head was off the pad or my butt was off. If you are a back or a stomach sleeper, this is a decent pad for you.
