We had a need for a temporary sleeping arrangement, and this worked better than we thought it would! It inflates and deflates quickly and flawlessly, and the flocked top hold a sleeping bag in place. It's actually very comfortable! There was a teeny bit of air loss, despite all the scientific studies quoted in the sales verbiage - but this was such a small amount it's hardly even a detriment. I'm glad we got this, it was a great answer to a real quick need.
