I purchased this thing just to lay down and watch TV when my back was bothering me, and so just expected something reasonably well built and workable. Wow, was I ever surprised at this item. It is so comfortable that I swear I've fallen asleep on it and slept half-way through the night before waking up! It is sturdy, comfortable, light, and handy, too. The Mattress easily folds up into a tri-fold configuration, and then two handles are used on one side just to move it around, which is also easy because it isn't really that heavy at all. I think the thing that surprised me the most was how firm and comfortable it is: it FAR exceeded my expectations, and now I use it all the time. I've had lots of portable mats, mattresses, etc., and nothing has even come close to this. Nice touch: the material that covers the cushioning is all zippered, so you can unzip and throw in the washing machine to freshen up the covering (but not the inner mattress, of course, which would not even fit in a washing machine!). It looks nice, too, which may sound irrelevant, but when you have it folded up, you can put it up against the wall in an upright position, and it looks just fine. So, I can give this an excellent recommendation, and even though it looks a tad on the expensive side compared to others in its class, when you try it yourself, I think you may agree that it is worth every penny. Five Stars.
