This mat has been a life saver. I purchased this for camping but when my dog had to be restricted from stair use I camped on it for a week straight to stay downstairs with him. I found this mat to be surprisingly comfortable. You do have to lay on your back for your weight to be distributed enough to keep you elevated off the ground. So this wouldn't be a good choice for side sleepers.
My only negative, it does not take the 15 breaths or whatever is advertised to inflate. Yes you can blow it up and the twist valve is nice, but it took longer than advertised to inflate. That being said it is still a very nice product and durable. I had a cat with claws and a large dog trample this mat and it still works great!

It’s a great sleeping pad for 3 season backpacking. Lightweight, easy to inflate and packs small. I didn’t have a hard time getting it back into the carry bag like some others, you just have to ensure you fold it correctly. Overall I would gladly purchase this again and I do recommend it for backpacking. For camping, maybe get a bigger one as weight generally doesn’t matter as much.

Ok so I tried it. here are my thoughts
1. It's thick enough that I didn't feel the ground
2. Didn't feel the cold through it
3. easy to blow up and pack down
4. It's slippery when laying on it with my sleeping bag, but I managed to stay on it while sleeping.
5. makes swishy noises when moving, but not enough to wake me up. (my partner complained about it)
6. pretty light, and reasonable size when rolled up.

While I have yet to take this on an overnight, I have used it in camp a few times on hot days. I camp full time in a yurt for my work, and I have a queen mattress for nights in camp. I am planning to bikepack, and so I got this lightweight pad after getting a promotional 'seat cusion' item from Klymit. I was impressed that the seat cushion could support my 190 lbs on a hard wooden seat, and I use it constantly to pad my head against a steel bed frame. It does not lose air or stretch out. Now, on really hot days, when temps in my yurt exceed 100 °F, I inflate the sleeping pad, and take a siesta in front of the fan on the floor. It's cooler on the floor, on the pad than it is on the memory foam mattress, and I was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable this pad is. This is my first time using an ultralite sleeping pad, although I've slept on every kind of sleeping surface available, including very thin foam pads. I'm a bit of a side sleeper, and this pad even cushions my hips. So far I'm quite satisfied with my purchase. I will update after I've done my bikepacking trip.

Used this for an army exercise. It was great. Very comfortable, easy to use, compact, durable. Only issue is the inflate/deflate valve popped out, its easy to put back in, but it was an unexpected thing. Still 5 stars in my book

I bought this sleeping pad when I was getting into backpacking and it served me well. I have since upgraded to the much more expensive Nemo Tensor and while I can say the Nemo may be a little more comfortable and insulates better it’s not $200 better. I still use this sleeping pad, this is the best option for anyone on a budget and is a quality sleeping pad that is well worth the low price.

After using this for one night of camping I can say I’m pleasantly surprised! I’ll come back and update this fall once I’ve used it for more trips, but it packs down super compactly and I would definitely say it is well worth the price!
