I bought this for a camping trip in yosemite.  I cannot sleep on the ground and I wanted a mattress that wouldn't take up half a tent since we had 3 people in a tent.  This mattress helped me get so much more sleep than the other guys in our tent.  Also it was better at keeping me warm as opposed to sleeping on the cold ground.  Best of all it was $100 cheaper than most camping air mattresses, which seems ridiculous to me to spend that much money on a camping mattress.  The only caveat to this mattress is that the nozzle is not the most robust, it's just a typical pool inflatable nozzle that can pop open if the nozzle is wet.  I just put some duct tape over it and it was fine.  You'll also need a flatter piller to put on top of the inflatable pillow
