Good air mattress, but a bit heavy for hiking March 10, 2010 R. I. Gallo (Miami, FL United States) I purchased this mattress for the Barefoot Mailman Hike (a Boy Scout event) that goes from Pompano Beach to South Beach. This is a 35 mile trek that requires an overnight campout. We are required to carry all items we would be using and this mattress looked smaller and more compact than the one I have. It was probably the biggest and heaviest item I carried in my backpack at around 7 pounds. I did find it easy to inflate and it did give good support throughout the night. With the exception of the weight, I think it is a good mattress but plan to put it to the test in upcoming campouts. It deflated easily and the straps kept it rolled up nicely.
Super! If you're the right size August 22, 2009 Noname 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
My husband, 6'2" 190 lbs., has trouble staying on this mat. He's not a restless sleeper. I'm 5'5" 130 lbs. I have no trouble staying on the mat. It's perfect.
When setting up, I just open the valve and blow some air in with my mouth, then close the valve. It takes a little experimenting to get it just the way I like it. Sometimes, it's overinflated, sometimes not enough. Once the valve is sealed, the air stays in all night. I'm camping as I write this review, and I woke up last night thinking I was sleeping on a mattress. It's so comfortable compared to the foam mat I used last year when I thought my back was going to break.
I had contemplated getting an Aerobed, but this Texport will work out just fine. Better than an Aerobed, as that would just take up so much room in the tent. I'm glad I went with Texport. Larger people like my husband might want something different.
For Better Comfort -- try this ! July 3, 2009 C. Drake (Eugene, Or USA) 8 out of 9 found this review helpful
First off, at 6'3". and 235 lbs. -- it takes a decent heavy duty mattress to be comfortable. Putting a knee on a Colman "air" mattress will cause seam leaks, if it is full, done that twice. So I looked for a heavier duty one at a reasonable price. The 3 in. thickness is a big deal at night, I tried 1" thick mats a while back, and would not like to have to spend a week on one. They all need inflating/deflating cycles to break in -- and several times before real use!
The thicker 3" texsport is way more comfy than the measly 1 inch mat. The self inflating is also the only real way to avoid packing a hand pump, or elect. inflator. Most of my boat building buddies pack self inflators. Yes, they pack bigger but not so much that you would do without it, unless you are young and can sleep on rocks anyhow.
After breaking in, inflate for use, seal the cap, and your own body heat will help inflate it more as the air warms up. I thought it was a bit thin but now it is indeed three full inches thick, takes a few nights first. I put a blanket between the mattress and my bag, so the "dimples" are less noticable. Be sure to crack the valve in the morning, as sun or hot weather can inflate it (maybe) a bit too much, closing it at dinner time works for me.
I am very happy with this mattress, and expect it to hold up way beyond the "air only" type, and the foam inside makes it a bit warmer to sleep on too.
Best wishes, Cal
Look carefully at others first. December 9, 2008 D. Edwards (Mt Vernon, VA) 7 out of 8 found this review helpful
I ordered this to use with a heavy duty cot: both Texsport. They arrived together, cot is excellent...however, the pad could use improvement. Following the directions, I inflated/deflated it three times. Then used it overnight (inside) as practice run. As others have said, while not the Sealy Posturpedic of the camp-out world, it is superior to the solid 1/2" cell foam pads, and is sized for adult males. My problem is that upon deflating/rolling up one of the securing buckles failed: center pin broke. The buckles are vital to keeping it compressed and they are very flimsy nylon. The shell of the pad seems to be rugged enough as does the belt material for the securing straps, but the buckles are destined to fail under pressure from the compressed pad. In fairness, Texsport took it back for warranty replacment, but I had to call after sending it back to verify they got it and were sending a replacement (3 wks later). I am, however, still out the UPS fee to send it back for replacement. In retrospect, I should have looked further (and maybe paid a little more) as the replacement has the same flimsy-looking buckles. I just noticed other reviewers were asked about how much this weighs. "Lightweight" is a relative term - the UPS label was for 8.0 lbs, the outer wrapper and box weigh maybe a pound...so it's still substantially more than the 5.2 lb shipping weight in the product description area.
Decent Mattress November 17, 2008 Matthew J. Fitch (Jackson, MI USA) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I'm a fairly tall guy - 6'2" (1.88 m) and one thing that always bothered me about the small pads/mattresses was that my legs never got any support. This mattress was big enough for me to sleep comfortably. This mattress is heavier than the foam pads one would find at a local mega-mart (WalMart, Meijer, Kmart, etc.) but I think it's worth it! My only concern with this product is that it doesn't compact well. After I roll it up, it has a diameter of 10-12 inches (25-30 cm); making it bulky and sometimes hard to control.
