Review on WELLAX Ultralight Air Sleeping Pad: Inflatable Mattress For Backpacking, Traveling, Camping & Hiking - Includes Repair Kit & Carry Bag! by Kartik Starks

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not bad, not amazing.

I slept on one of these for a few weeks after hurricane Laura. It was amazing at first, but then not so great. It developed a very slow leak after the first few days, and I was never able to find the leak or path it, though I tried several times. I had to submerge it in a bathtub in a house with no lights, using a headlight to try and spot leaks, and never could find it.I lived in my yard in a tent with this, and had to re-inflate it two or three times per night. It was surprisingly comfortable for its size when properly inflated, but I woke up on the ground too often.I also went to Colorado in order to get away from the blistering heat and miserable bugs in Louisiana after the hurricanes. I took this with me camping all over the Rockies and it worked to keep me off of the rocks, but still leaked and it remained impossible to find or patch the slow leak.I'm planning to buy a Nemo Tensor soon, but I may buy another of these in the meantime to ensure I have some kind of sleeping pad until I can afford the better one.For the price and size, it's amazing. But I still say go with something better if your budget allows it.
