Ultralight Inflatable Camping Mat - 73.5" x 21.5" Portable Sleeping Pad for Backpacking, Hiking & Outdoor Adventures - Compact Air Mattress with Tear-Resistant Ripstop Nylon - Perfect for Camping, Travel & Beach Trips (Blue)

I don't backpack or sleep on the ground in a tent any more. Haven't for decades. I like sleeping only on a soft mattress. This is sometimes a problem when traveling. In a hotel, AirBnB, cruise ship, relative's guest room, etc., I never know what I am going to get. If I wind up on a hard mattress, I tuck this under the fitted sheet, get a good night's sleep and wake up pain-free. It packs up so small, it is easy to include in my luggage, even when travelling light. It is also amazingly affordable.It seems durable for being so lightweight, but I would not abuse it. It is not a trampoline or snow sled. Children can't resist jumping on air mattresses, so keep this out of sight.The only possible drawback is that it makes a slight crinkling sound when climbing into and out of bed, but this has not ben a problem and even my wife has never remarked on it despite mid-night bathroom breaks. Blowing it up by mouth is not a big deal if you have a little patience for the minute or two it takes.For me this would not be quite thick enough for side-sleeping on a hard surface like a wood floor (I am a 6'2" man, 175 lbs). Close, but some padding underneath would be needed for me. It could work for back sleeping or likely for smaller people. It would be fine alone for side-sleeping on any cushioned surface like a firm mattress, futon, couch, RV bunk, etc.On a recent 2-week trip, this was a real sanity-saver. That would be too long to be missing sleep. One of my best travel purchases ever. If you are someone who hates a really firm mattress, and you travel at all, I recommend considering this for your next trip. Plus, if you ever got stuck overnighting in an airport, this could be quite a luxury.
