This pad TOO BIG and TOO HEAVY for the backpacking needs to be 1lb lighter to make it work -- cant return it -- now stuck for tailgate camping. Coleman should publish the pack dimensions and weight, which is conveniently missing on all of their products.
Great pad on the whole. I wish the pillow was already filled, since stuffing the pouch with clothes or a blanket isn't super comfortable. The size is good, but I really wish it packed up smaller. It's on the bigger side if you want to take it backpacking. It's great in an Eno since it gives more support, cushion, and protection from the cold.
My 8 year old used this for three nights of tent camping. He was happy. I noticed that the side channels lost a bit of air by the end of the third night. It is possible he messed with the valve. I'd recommend this one, especially for the price.
I bought 2 of these in anticipation of a camping trip with my daughter. I'm not an experienced camper and she's not one for roughing it. But knowing the temps in June in Oregon aren't going to be sleep-in-a-t-shirt weather, I wanted to add a pad to our cots for insulation. These pads were affordably priced for newbies like ourselves, but will likely upgrade if we camp often.
I love the self-inflating feature, the valve cap that won't detach and get lost, the toggles to assist with rolling. The attached stuff bag/pillow casing is fantastic.
But Coleman lost a star for one reason... the self-inflation feature doesn't inflate the bumpered sides as pictured. For that, you have to wrap your mouth around the 3/4" valve cap and blow. Don't bother grabbing your foot pump or air compressor. There's no way to attach it.
This pad would be a 5-star product if Coleman had thought to include a simple beachball type valve for getting those plumped up bumpers and maximum padding.
Not saying I'm not stoked with this. Its even great in my hammock. Yet I do have some furry friends. Can I just wash and dry it?because in a bit of a hurry also ive needed to put a few makeshift patches on claw scratches... And how do you blow up the sides.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very easy to use, it has instructions with the pad (others companies wont put instructions) also it self inflating in seconds as de described, very easy to put away and comfortable, good quality and good value
I bought the self inflating sleep pad for camping. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to inflate, deflate, pack and unpack. I absolutely LOVE it!
