The only problem with this mattress is that it needs a pump for it to be inflated, that's the realistic view. Unless you want to sit for 2-3 hours and pass out from hyperventilation, using your mouth as an air pump isn't going to work. I wish they included a foot pump with the product or something of that sorts. I originally purchased this for backpacking but it's much too bulky and I don't want to carry an air pump with me as well. Would do fine for car camping probably.
