Got this as I knew I was going to be sleeping on a cot for two weeks.  The combination of the cot and pad are great.  Sarge even came by and took a look at it the other morning and commented on it  (yes were both out here about a 100 yards apart swapping fish and war stories).  I have to say I haven't slept on an Army cot this well ever.  Rolls up easy, very comfortable, twin air inlets.  The regular size fits an Army regular cot perfectly.  The oversize one hangs off.  Not cheap, but is anything at REI?  I think this and a Cot tent would be the bomb for simple overnight camp trips.

I got one for my wife probably 4 years ago or so now. Between the pad and the cot I got her two years ago, it's like sleeping at the Ritz Carlton. Seriously, it's more comfortable than our futon at home...

I've had one for about 6 years and I like it.  The valves started to leak after a few years, so I replaced one of them (and Gooped the other one closed) with the only valve replacement kit I could find - for another brand.  I had to drill out the old valve, and after some filing of the new valve and the hole, glued it in place. It's a little slower to roll up with just one valve, but self inflates about as well.
