Anyway, came to say that it SEEMED like a great price for this type of pad and this size, which I'm going to assume is insulated (probably R 4-6) like all the other pads, but the reviews state that there are frequent issues with the valve. Now, could it be user error? Maybe, but a leaky valve is not what you'd want in any case.
I'd still go for it, just remember that while it is "self-inflating", you will likely have to blow just a few puffs of air in it. On the failures, it's possible that people over-inflated the pad. It SHOULD NOT be hard/taut, think of it kind of like a water bed kind of feeling. Most likely, your hips when on your side will be the highest pressure point scenario, so a good starting point is to inflate so that your hips aren't touching the ground. If you wake up in the middle of the night because your hips are touching the ground, then puff it up a breath or two, but more air generally makes it less "comfortable".
Yes, there is a klymit static v (or v2) that is just $10 more, packs a lot smaller, is likely going to be at least half of the weight, and likely much more durable.
But no, there's a big difference between this coleman insulated pad and the non-insulated Klymit. If you only camp in warm weather, that's fine, but a lot of people would feel a little cold once the night time temps drop below maybe even 60. Cold sleepers, of which females are more likely to be, would lose heat to the point where they feel uncomfortable on even a chilly summer night. Even here in Southern California, fair weather camping can reach the 50's in the "camping" months. The insulated klymit is a good bit bigger than the non-insulated, and it's also usually over $60, twice the price of this coleman.
Either way, the coleman is aimed towards a car camper. This type of person doesn't care about the weight or the bulk, and will more likely appreciate the insulation and ease in setting up the coleman provides (the klymit can easly take over 10 full breaths to inflate, which then causes much more condensation inside of the pad itself).
A backpacker will more likely go for a klymit, but then there are other options like the gossamer gear pads for non-insulated and insulated foam pads like thermarest zlite sol to consider.

It Probably took longer to type up this post than it would have taken to look at the pictures from the user reviews and find a
Q:is there enough cushioning to make love making comfortable on a hard surface underneath?
