" ...  Pretty comfortable and super easy to inflate.  ...  "
comment
" ...  It is twice as comfortable as my bigger thicker pad.  ...  "
comment
" ...  This pad is easy to inflate (about 12 puffs) and is equally easy to quickly deflate completely and can be rolled or folded into a small package for storing. ... I actually really like its 2.2 inch thickness as it allows my arms to hang off the pad at more comfortable angles- but that's me!  ...  "
comment
" ...  Not only was this compact and ridiculously easy to set up, (just unbag, unroll and a few breathes to inflate it) but it kept the air all four days of the festival I just returned from and it was super comfortable!  ...  "

comment
" ...  -Deflation is super easy -- Open the valve and most of the air escapes, poke the valve in a little bit to prop it open, fold the sides in towards the middle, roll from the toe to the head, and the remaining air effortlessly eacapes. ... The included stuff sack then holds this bad boy in place in my bag so I don't have to worry about it taking up extra room and messing with the packing methods I employ.  ...  "
