I bought this mattress for camping trips. Every air mattress I've ever had has leaked, and waking up in the middle of the night and lying on a hard, cold floor is a real drain. Also, I don't feel safe with my baby sleeping on an air mattress. My family of four (2 large adults and 2 small children) usually sleeps in a large double bed so we bought two of these to put side by side and sleep sideways. It works and it's convenient! We have also used them for guests and they said they were comfortable. The mattress comes with two straps to keep it rolled up and then a large storage bag. It also has a sheet with two straps at the bottom to hold it up. I plan to use an old flat sheet and turn it into a cover that will work as a pillowcase since the bottom of the mattress isn't covered.
