I could not believe how great this was.  I took this camping and luckily a friend of mine had a pump to help me blow it up. I'm not sure how long it would've taken me on my own. Once it was blown up it was great. It stayed inflated for the entire weekend and I slept comfortably each night.  Deflating it took a little bit of time, but I was able to fold it up in packet back into my duffel bag. This inflatable camping pad was so much better than sleeping on the ground in my sleeping bag. I found that it was firm and it didn't wobble. I recommended this pad to several people.
