I chose because of the positive reviews for this sleeping pad and I must say, you sleep very well on it. Basically, I do not belong to the group of campers but this year it was so far back. When "dry test" inflated the mat, closed valve, ready. Approximately 5-6cm high, not measured. The rolling up requires a little skill and strength, but doing quite well. The bag has been optimized in terms of size, but has no handle or similar inflation-time is important, then unpack mat, roll up, open the valve -.. Done. After an estimated 3-5 minutes, the mat has been completely filled with air. Close valve afterwards, otherwise the air goes out again. Since I've pitched my tent in the woods, I can say you do not notice irregularities, no stones that were hiding among them. I rarely slept so well on an air mattress as on this camping mattress. That's why I give full marks.
