AIRELAX 3-Inch Self-Inflating Camping Sleeping Pad - Adjustable Firmness, Ultra Comfort for Outdoor Adventures, Backpacking, Hiking & Car Camping - Twin Size Air Mattress for Tents, RVs & Beach Trips

I spent 21 nights on this pad inside my tent with temps dropping below freezing. Never got cold, was super easy to inflate/deflate to reach the desired comfort, and was easy to roll up and put back into the included sack. I did pick up some different straps to keep it tightly rolled up. Made it easier to put back in the sack. I am really pleased with how comfortable it was being a side sleeper.I really wanted this pad to work for my needs. It was easy to inflate, fit the space I needed it for, is very comfortable to sleep on and seems very durable. However, I needed to be able to deflate and store this pad in a small camper trailer between uses. For me, to deflate this pad to a storable size I had to find a smooth floor space large enough to lay out the pad and put my body weight on it as it was rolled up. This process just won't work for the use I had planned.I like the mattress width and the comfiness of the 3 inch pad but they are impossible to deflate and roll up into the size of the included carrying tote. Think I will just get some velcro straps to keep the size manageable when storing at home. I did see instructions on-line on how to roll them up but haven't mastered that yet. They take up a lot of room in one's car when not contained in the carrying bag. The first night camping I added two extra puffs to the mat after it self-inflated but felt that was too firm. Next night I deflated it a bit and the firmness was perfect. Did not lose air after 4 nights of camping. So far? happy with these mats.We used this for overnights with grandchildren at our home. Worked well with a sleeping bag. Self inflated nicely, but deflating was quite problematic. The instructions were not complete, but our son-in-law figured it out and we finally got it rolled up and back in its storage bag. The included instructions were way too simplistic. Even the Amazon online instructions need to be expanded. As a healthy, but not particularly strong 74 year old woman, it was quite challenging to get it rolled up as it deflated. Strongly suggest a tweak to the instructions. One the plus side, my son-in-law says they quite well designed and they stayed fully inflated for at least 5 days.This is a great sleeping pad! It inflated quickly and deflated quickly. Not sure on the durability since I just got it, but it is comfortable and quiet! Deflating is easy and if you’ve ever rolled up a sleeping bag, it’s the same thing. I even got it back in its bag! I recommend!This is a really nice mat. The instructions could be improved as it is not really clear how to inflate- but fortunately on the Amazon site where it is listed there are very clear instructions on how to flip the valve to inflate and to deflate. It is very comfortable. I'm using it primarily to put on top of a cot for added comfort and that makes a very nice guest bed or camping bed. I have also used it by itself on the floor of a tent and that worked well too. Very happy with comfort level. My only complain is that in the directions it says for best results you should store your pad fully expanded. It says if you must store it in a rolled condition, inflate the pad as frequently as is reasonable to prevent form developing a compressed memory. That would be a pain not to be able to store it rolled and forget about it until you need it again. I'll probably figure out a way to store it fully expanded, but that's not really ideal. But... the pad is so comfortable, it may be worth the hassle. Maybe you have to do that with any self inflating pad. But since the description leads you to believe it can be stored rolled with no issue, I did remove 1 star for that.So I'm embarrassed to admit this, but here it goes: We took this out for a camping trip and couldn't get it to inflate. Now, we're not campers or anything -- far from it. But when we got home, we finally took a look and realized that in fact we simply didn't know to push in the circular tab inside the nozzle. Had we done so, it would've easily inflated.Which it did. At home. After missing out on a good night's sleep due to our own naivety. So be forewarned. It doesn't take a genius to figure this mattress out. Just someone who reviews the images in the product description, which clearly we failed to do before heading to the great outdoors.And how was it after we fixed our mistake? Actually, pretty comfortable! Which made us even more frustrated with ourselves, but I digress.But you should also be warned: This is big and bulky. If you have to hike a long way to your campsite, consider something else.If you can drive right up to your campsite or don't have to carry gear far, you'll get a good night's sleep on this.It's all about your circumstance and how far you have to go. It's definitely more comfortable than the other inflatable mattress that is light and can be carried on long hikes.Getting it to deflate does take a little time or a little finesse -- if you're in a rush, push the air out with the nozzle set in the proper deflate position.Overall, a good product when used properly, but for the right circumstances.It does seem pretty durable and, though the adults in our family try to limit our camping trips, I think we'll get plenty of use out of it as our grandkids progress through Scouts.Fairly comfortable sleeping mat. Part air mattress, part foam. Just unroll and open the valve. It inflates itself. You can help to inflate by blowing air into the valve. Very difficult to get the air back out. Could not roll up very small. I measures it at 72 inches by 30 inches.
