Great value, very comfy and relatively easy to use. I'm quite happy with it, esp for the price.Not light enough to recommend for wilderness backpacking.Note this is longer than the backpacking sleeping pad we use (took up almost all 7' in our tent), so just be aware of dimensions if you have a tiny tent.Overall, I'm a YES on this!This product was delivered very promptly .No instructions included on how to use the small pump in one end. you have to add air through the deflate valve before you can ever start using the small pump in the other end. the holes that pass air from the small pump to the mattress are so small that air must be forced through them and cannot be done from flat. tried it, was scared i was going to blow a hole in it. Had to breath into other end to inflate a good bit which is probably best as the pump puts out precious little air. That being said, there is no way that you can fill this thing by mouth or machine. The plug hole lets the air out very quickly as soon as you stop inflating. On a plus side, once you get it to near full the little pump at bottom does let u fill it to your desired firmness, but even that little bit takes a bit or work. You have to take the plug out of it to let air into pump then put palm of hand over hole and press with both hands on pump to force air into body of mattress. Once inflated it is pretty comfortable and has a pillow that suits my sleep preference, and can be filled to suit the individual, I should think. It is plenty long, comes with a nice carry bag but the included repair tapes look like they are too flimsy and thin to handle a repair job. It isn't ultralight but is light enough for car camping. it deflated very quickly. the strap to go around it to hold it in roll was a nice touch. I lay on it for an hour or so, i have a bad back, and it was enough to make me think that it might pass the test it gets in a few weeks of a multiple night camping trip. will update if needed.Preparo mi viaje en moto a la Patagonia argentinaPodría ser más sólido después de inflado, aún se puede sentir que estás sobre el suelo y no sobre un colchón inflable, aunque es cómodo, fácil de inflar y guardar.Congratulation on an upgraded product. Returned previous version (no excuse for the errors in that description) and was about to write a review when I see there is a new version solving issues I was about to raise. The foot pump utilizing foam and a one-way valve seems clever. (Thank goodness it is no longer in the pillow). The larger main sleeping area is tufted (as shown) decreasing the amount of air needed to inflate, and increasing the likelihood of finding a comfortable position. The sides are raised slightly, so you don’t roll off easily. The main sleeping area measures about 2 inches thick (64” end to edge of pillow), without weight; the pillow is around 6 inches high ( more than I like it, and I wish it was a separate air compartment so you could adjust the pressure independently.) I tested it for leaks for 36 hours with stationary weights and it held air. Obviously not as good as a week’s testing in the field (will update later). Still problems with accuracy of the description: “Weighs only 25 pounds after folded” Obvious error (and I imagine it weighs the same inflated.) Second impression: a quality product that can be improved. Very unfortunate that the earlier descriptions were so riddled with errors and contradictions and hype, which make one question all the information.Inflated dimensions: 27” wide x 75” longStored dimensions 12” x 5” x 3” folded in sackWeight: 1.6 lbs.Decent price— but did not stand up to the needs. My boys go camping once a month— and my son said his pad does not hold air. He had to repump each night, and then it would be flat by morning. Probably true that you “get what you pay for”I very much prefer my 13yo Coleman inflatable mattress. The 1st night of our camping trip, my 8yo slept on this and it was totally flat by morning. She didn’t sleep much (animal noises and discomfort kept her awake) which meant I didn’t sleep either. I traded her the 2nd night. There was a learning curve; I was able to get it to stay inflated after a couple of mid night top offs and by night 3 it stayed inflated. It’s much smaller and lighter than the Coleman; top offs can be done fairly quietly (as opposed to an electric pump), but it’s very close to the ground and slick. My sleeping bag is also slick. I could sleep, on it, but would have to recenter everything every time I rolled over!I don’t know who thought the ergonomics of this design. Neck pillow should actually inflate on its own. Poor design.For the stored size and weight this sleeping mat with pillow is amazing. It was a great surprise to see it had an inflating device set into the pillow that just requires some compressions to inflate. There is an air outlet vent at the other end and the deflation was almost instantaneous when that plug was released. I have had a similar sized mat at double the price from Kathmandu that had a sack inflation that was not this effective and quite onerous to remove all air for repacking. Although it is thinner at full inflation, the air pockets are close together and very supportive. The mat is very long for me and would suit someone even taller than six foot. It also comes with a minor repair patch.The product description says 0.3kg which is 300g. When it arrived it seemed heavy. Weighing it, it came in at 558g, almost twice the advertised weight. Might be ok for the car, but not hiking.
