My initial impressions of this fabric camping mat are very good unlike other Intex air mattresses I have had in the past. I bought three of their air beds and all failed within 90 days with leaks, tears and ruptured seams. I wish that they used the same fabric with this mattress on their air beds, maybe they would hold up better. It wasn't hard for me to blow up as I had an air compressor with the proper attachment to do the job. Unfortunately the compressor did not like this mattress as much as me, it blew up right after I inflated the mattress. Oh well.... Anyway, I put this on top of my camping cot and it is quite comfortable but just a tad narrow for the cot. It's long enough but if I lay on my back my arms don't really have enough room to rest on the mattress. Not a big deal. I slept well on it. I do hope this will hold up over time better than the other Intex stuff and I will definitely update my rating if it expires prematurely. It was so cheap I had to give it a try.
