Best night's sleep! |
| Rating: |  |
| We've camped in decades past with the one to two inch self-inflating pads and they were better than sleeping directly on the ground, but we'd wake up a little sore in the mornings. I am a young-onset Parkinson's victim (diagnosed two years ago), so my muscles hurt frequently when I get up in the mornings. We took a three night family trip and we all slept like babies on these self-inflating pads. We used them on top of the folding camping cots with sleeping bags on top. Best I've felt in the morning in a long time! Granted, we need a new mattress on our bed at home, but it's tempting to get these out and sleep on them until that happens! Great for car camping - won't go without them, even if they are a little bulky. It's definitely worth the space they take up, which isn't unreasonable anyway. |

Excellent for spare bed |

| I was moving to a new job before my household goods were being delivered, but I already had the lease on my new apartment. I got this to serve as my bed for the one week lag, instead of one of those bulky air mattresses, and I am very impressed. This mat exceeded my expectations (always high!) in terms of comfort. It even has a slight raise for the head, equivalent to a half inch pillow, which I thought showed a lot of attention to detail. I used it on hardwood floors - and it felt nice and cushy. The underside is no-slip, so it was not sliding around. I am confident that my guests will also feel comfortable on it, if the need arises to use it, and I'm also sure that if I ever go car camping I will pack it up. |

| My main focus was comfort as the thermarest that I have is too narrow at 20". I kept sliding off the thing or if I'd roll over off I'd go. So 10" makes a big difference. I didn't necessarily need the added thickness but it is welcomed. The other features that drew me to this pad was 1) The 'no slip' dots and 2) The width and 3) as an added bonus the little extra thickness at the head for that 'almost home' comfort. Another added bonus over the thermarest is the brass valves, two at that. To me that equals durability and ease. I'm quite pleased with it. Be your own judge...... In fact I used it at my nephews for a nights stay on his floor... He bought one. Enough said. |

Pine Ridge Air Pad |
| Rating: | |
| We have not used this yet-just tried out in the living room. It is very comfortable. Our son has another name brand pad but not near as thick or comfortable. However, is much lighter and easy to use for backpacking. This pad is heavier than our tent! You wouldn't want to carry it very far! Since we plan to use it for only car camping it is perfect for us. We also have a Toyota Rav that we plan to just lay these pads in the back & use for sleeping when we don't want to take the tent. I originally just ordered one to see if we liked it & then ordered a second since the 1st was so comfortable. |

Wonderful air pad |

| I use this for hammock camping. I place it in my HENNESSY HAMMOCK and it allows me to use in temperatures below 30 F. The insulating ability of this is great and it is comfortable for tent camping also. Easy to inflate. Just unscrew the caps. Tough to deflate. It takes a bit of work and struggle to get it small enough to fit in the straps and carry bag. I recommend it to all for car camping, a spare mattress. A FINE PRODUCT Tom |

I got exactly what I asked for! |

| I'm mainly a coastline camper so I wanted a confortable and cool pad that can alleviate roots and rocks. I'm 6'2" and 290 lbs so I can really tell you that once inflated, I do not touch the ground ever. It's true that the pad is big and thick, but that's the main key for this particular product. Therefore, complaining about overall bulk and size comes together with an "I told you so!" from the manufacturer and seller. Excellent product, and thus RECOMMENDED. |

Large, soft air pad |

| I'm a camping newbie and was very concerned about having a comfortable night's sleep. This pad is not small, and it creates a large roll when rolled up. However, it is so comfortable and easy to inflate I consider it well worth the cost and space used to pack it along for car camping. It wouldn't be appropriate to carry hiking/camping but was very welcome on my recent weekend car camping trip. |

Fabulous car camping sleeping pad |
| Rating: | |
| Pros - Wide and comfortable, has a built in pillow, I can sleep on my side without falling off the pad, pad doesn't slip, pad keeps me warm when the ground is cold Cons - Design flaw is that the pad is difficult to deflate. Should have one valve for inflating, one for deflating. Is bulky when rolled up and is heavy, so is good for car camping only. |

Couldn't beat the price! |

| My .5lb pad wasn't as comfortable as it used to be, and since I don't backpack all my gear anymore, I upgraded to a luxury pad. Probably should've got the 72x25x2, because this one is more bulky than you realize when you order it, and it takes a LONG time to inflate. But the no-skid bumps on the bottom are genius, and the pad seems very durable. |

Luxury Car Camping |
| Rating: | |
| A super comfortable sleeping pad for car camping - it is too heavy & bulky for backpacking. This pad is somewhat difficult to roll up & put back into the stuff sack. The straps that come with it are useless after they come off the first time - would be much better with some elastic or a velcro closure |
