I've got to give it up to this product. For the price it can't be beat as long as it doesn't pop, no mine did not pop. It's just the reality of bringing an inflatable on a camping/hiking trip. I opted for a pad that wasn't nearly as comfortable as this guy, and my pad cost twice as much. So while I tried to get comfortable on my thin little pad my girlfriend was nice a comfy on her inflatable. I will be lugging around the extra weight for the good nights sleep. It's hard to recover at night if you aren't able to get a good nights rest.
