Great warm weather, lightweight sleeping pad
I'm very impressed with this sleeping pad for the price. It's 1lb 3oz without the big sack used to inflate it. I just use my mouth which is actually faster. It's a little smaller than my Nemo Astro sleeping pad when all rolled up, but it doesn't have insulation so that's why. It'll make a great warm weather sleeping pad. The inflation valve seems a bit proprietary so some of the other sleeping pad infiltrators won't fit it.

Not for cold sleepers
I wanted to replace a heavier inflatable REI pad with a lighter weight one and decided on this Naturehike pad after much deliberation. A YouTube review that compared this pad to a NeoAir finally convinced me to buy.I camped in the Sierras with nightly temps only in the low 50's and already I could feel cold air creeping up through the pad while wearing a fleece hoodie, full leggings and socks under down sleep system. The REI pad (with a listed R-value of 3.0) previously kept me warm at MUCH lower temps (even in the low 30's.) This made me doubt the R value.On the second night, the pad lost air (not volume due to temperature drop, but it lost air to the point where I bottomed out and had to pump it up).Looking inside the Naturehike pad through the inflation hole, I didn't see any special heat refective built-in laminate or insulation, just the clear sealant of the fabric itself that makes it air tight.Pro's: compact, light weight (not ultra light). The 23" width is great if you're a back sleeper and would like to keep your arms from falling off the pad as they often do on the narrower 20" pads. I liked the thickness and liked the included pump sack.Cons: I don't believe the R-value is anywhere near 3.0 (note this claim is only made by the seller and not in the product specs). Don't buy if you're a cold sleeper.If you use an inflatable pillow, you may want to put the built-in pillow at the foot end as it will slide off the pad. The fabric is rather slippery. Reliability was an issue in my case, though the valves seem fairly decent. You get what you pay for I guess. As a weight-conscious backpacker I will likely look into spending more money on something that is both warm and light weight.

Love this sleeping pad
Love this sleeping pad!!!I love this sleeping pad for many reasons:1. The material is very high quality. It feels like tent material.2. It was easy to inflate and deflate. To inflate, use the bag provided, go against the wind to "grab" air and start to roll the top closed. (super easy) It takes about four air fulls of the bag to get it to the fullness I prefer. As you inflate between bag fulls of air, the value holds the air in. I have had no problems with air leaking out. To deflate, super easy, pull the air tight value out and start to fold it. Fold it in half and then in half again and start rolling and all the air exits just fine. I have inflated it twice now and was able to get it back in it's carrying bag with ease.3. Very light and compact.4. Super easy to get back in the carrying bag5. We liked it so much, we bought a second one! I would highly recommend!!- Price is a little steep, but you get what you pay for.* I have not slept on it yet, I will update this review when we sleep on them on our camping trip coming up the end of March.

I found this pas to be very comfortable, and have a great nights sleep using this ...
I picked this up based on a youtube review that I had watched, as a cheaper alternative to the NeoAir Xlite sleeping pad. I found this pas to be very comfortable, and have a great nights sleep using this pad. This is a great alternative, and worked great for me as I am 6'4" and the length and width were perfect in conjunction with my air pillow. I found the bag pump system while taking a little bit longer, not as cumbersome as some would suggest, i just opened the bag, blew a gust of air into it with my outh to expand it out, and then pushed down, using this method, I was able to inflate the pad with as little as 4-5 bag fulls. while this might not be ideal to some, I liked the fact I could use it like this, and not be putting moist air into the bag and having it last longer to to bacteria growth in the pad. Overall this is a great pad and would definitely recommend it as a great cheap UL backpacking alternative to the neoair.

Very thin mattress - any adult would deflate it in minutes
Extremely thin - anyone over 30 pounds would deflate this after sitting on it for five minutes. The way you blow it up is clever and less of a pain than carrying a pump. Unfortunately, the product is a bit too compact/cheap - if the mattress itself were better, the blow up feature and the way it folds up would make it a winner.

Comfy, user friendly, but the built in pillow is useless.
Very easy to inflate, very easy to deflate. Wish that this came with a repair kit, just in case, but I'll just have to be careful with it. Quite comfy, although the "pillow" doesn't do much. I actually used the inflation bag (?) as a makeshift pillow, which was awkward but better than using the built in pillow.

Nice change to my sleeping system
Was able to sleep without the noise I have with my old Thermarest. Large enough for my height. Was able to use the bag included to inflate the pad. You don’t have to worry about mold with this technique. Lightweight also. Will be taking this with me on the PCT.

Solid sleeping pad at solid price!
Normally I am a hammock camper but needed a sleeping pad for this trip. Spent 5 nights on this and it worked well, and loved the inflation system! Only complaint is that it is not insulated I think, because the outside air cooled the pad making it a cold surface to sleep on.
