I slept much more comfortably than some of my buddies when I brought this camping. Stayed inflated all weekend and didn't tear. I'm so happy I brought this with me! I blew it up with a foot pump. I wouldn't recommend not having a pump as this was even a little tiring to blow up with the pump. My only complaint is I wish there was a bag or container to keep it in. I keep having to awkwardly shove it back in the box it came in and that doesn't offer a sealed way to store it
