These are good basic mattresses that are comfortable to sleep on. The non-slip textured side is helpful for sleeping because it helps keep you on the mattress and is not as noisy as the flat rubber side. It was a bit difficult to inflate them because you only have the smaller valve and the internal design of the valve makes it difficult to insert the air pump nozzle. It only takes up a little space when not in use, which is helpful when trying to maximize efficient space usage during travel.
