It's not going to replace your king sized mattress, but it's pretty damn solid for any backpacking or camping person out there. I used this from June-October in Idaho and it was the 3rd most valuable piece of equipment I had after my sleeping bag and hiking boots. I'm glad I got this one.
PROs:
1. Extremely durable. I put this thing through all sorts of hell and it came out almost perfect. What finally killed this thing for me was I literally ran it over with my truck on a gravel road. I honestly think this air mattress would have been fine by itself, but at the time I had the mattress held together with a bungee cord, and I think that, under pressure, pierced the mattress. I've been trying to fix it with tape and glue, but so far to no avail. Considering everything I put this mattress through though, I think for it to take being run over before it fails is very impressive.
2. Pretty comfortable. I slept on this thing every night. It takes a little bit of getting used to, but once I did, I could sleep on this anywhere. I'm a 6' tall, not very small person, and this mattress fit me just right.
3. Easy to blow up. It wasn't too much of an effort to blow up.
4. Kept air. It would take about a week of sleeping on it before this mattress started to lose a noticeable amount of air.
5. Very light and mobile. Easy to move around and even carry in a pack for backpackers
CONs:
1. The air valve is a little annoying. While it's hard to see where you could put the valve on a mattress this compact, it took some getting used to to sleep with the valve either in your face or at your feet. It can also get a little dirty, which is not fun for putting your mouth on.
Overall, this is a really good air mattress for the money for any camper out there.
