I bought two of these to use canoe camping in the Adirondacks. Though they are not super light, I don't care because getting a good nights sleep is more important to me. I end up puffing a few breaths into the mattress to help it get inflated. Fully inflated, it is pretty firm, so I found that if I lay on it with my head at the valve end, I can reach up and crack the valve to let just enough air out to get to the perfect comfort level. As others have noted, you can sleep on your side without hitting the ground, these things are VERY comfortable. An issue was our sleeping bags with slippery nylon fabric tend to slide off (especially since I toss and turn a lot). I found some 6' x 20" rolls of that rubbery no-slip shelf lining material at[@] in the housewares area that is exactly the right size to put on top of the mattress, this prevents the sleeping bag from slipping. When I'm closing up the mattress I roll the no-slip inside the mattress, it doesn't really add anything to the packed size.To close these up, open the valve, fold the mattress in half, and lay on it to force the air out. When no more air is leaving, fold it in quarters and kneel on it. When you get as much air out as you can this way, close the valve and lay the mattress out flat. Lay the no-slip on it and roll it up from the bottom. When you get about 3/4 of the way up, you can open up the valve again to get the rest of the air out. This is a lot easier than just opening the valve and rolling it up when it's full of air.

I have owned a "guide gear" version of this mat for a few years and liked it when car camping. When Christmas rolled around this last year, I looked for one for my fiancee but couldn't find one anywhere~ So I bought one of these versions instead. I prefer the guide gear version. It's wider and has full thickness all the way to the edge. The Gander Mtn version seems to have a slight oval or football profile to it. The sides only seem to be 2 inches wide with only the middle being the full advertised thickness. The quality seems very good and I like that it has a brass twist valve instead of plastic but my guide gear still seems to be much more comfortable, and [$] cheaper. I would recommend this if you can't find a guide gear 4" model.

, it's hard to stay on at night

      Comments about Gander Mountain Self-Inflating 4.0 Camping Pad:

      I bought this pad to go to boy scout camp for a week. I'm 45 and am not going to sleep cold or on the ground.

      However, I tried it out on a one nighter. I struggled all night to stay on it. The material causes my nylon shelled bag to slip and slide. This pad is also a bit to narrow and I was on the floor.

      I suggest a pad that has vertical baffles to keep you on the pad

      Comments about Gander Mountain Self-Inflating 4.0 Camping Pad:

      Used for extended camping. Great product and very comfortable. Cannot feel the ground underneath. Is too bulky and heavy for backpacking but GREAT for any other type of camping. Removing the velcro which would connect pads together for a larger bed was a poor decision. Still a great product.

      would prefer prior model which had velcro to attach another mat. Gander Mt did a substitution without asking for my permission.
