Do not recommend
No, I do not recommend this product
I tried purchasing last year's model of this sleeping pad only to find it was discontinued. I have the previous model in Regular Wide and was hoping to cut weight and size a bit with the standard Regular. The new model is a downgrade in every way. It's not half as comfortable and my hips dig into the ground. I also cant figure out why they changed the way it's stored/packaged as it makes it impossible to strap to your hiking pack. So disappointed! They took something that was perfect and made it worse in every way unfortunately.

Great option
Yes , I recommend this product
We have 2 of these and have used them maybe 15 times. The pad is larger and more bulky to carry but it inflates incredibly easily and the r value is great. It’s very comfortable and for the price point it’s great especially if you grab one on sale. Used them on several winter trips with temps in teens and they performed perfectly.

Absolutely awful
No, I do not recommend this product
I've never left a review for a piece of gear before but I felt like I had to. This thing is the bane of my existence. Biggest, heaviest, bulkiest, and most useless items in my pack. Not comfortable or warm and the self inflating is EXTREMELY slow. Deflated throughout the night. Honesty worthless, I would only give this pad to someone I dislike.

Worst of both worlds
No, I do not recommend this product
Heavy and bulky for how small and thin it is. Not really good for backpacking, not really good for car camping. Self inflating takes a long time. The pad itself isn’t uncomfortable so it may work for you.

great for camping!
Yes , I recommend this product
For simple, tent camping this was perfect. Foam inside is super comfortable for laying on your back or sides. Wouldn’t recommend for backpacking because of the weight and bulk. But, if you’re just staying at a campsite, this is a great option for the price. I also would’ve gotten a medium if I was buying again, short was too small for me and I’m only 5’4
