It is super easy to pack up, just pop the valve open, roll it up once to get the air out, then I fold in thirds lengthwise and roll it up. The bag it goes into has extra space so there's no fight to fit it back in there. ... I find it comfortable. I sleep on my side and stomach and tend to move around in my sleep a lot, so my sleeping pad also needs to be reasonably quiet. I don't hear any of the internal insulation crinkle
If it were me I’d recommend the following: - (or NEMO Eclipse all season for $175)
The Nemo eclipse is really nice and currently on sale at REI.
Durable with that 40D ripstop nylon... Very lightweight for it's size and thickness... Very comfortable and great pressure relief... Impressively small pack size... Valve is probably the best I've tried
A bit difficult to roll up... The insulation definitely doesn't go all the way which can lead to sleeping colder. It's not present in the outer tubes. Overstated R-value of 6.2?

I have a checked in luggage which would contain exped megamat duo (sleeping mat), mineral king 3 tent, a gas stove and other camping supplies.
Our dog liked our camping mat so much, she pretty much adopted it as her permanent bed for a few months (probably 4 months of regularl dog use and occasional human use) until we finally decided to do away with it for real furniture in that room. The mat never needed to be reinflated even once during that time.
The Megamat is huge but it is also the most comfortable. Whatever you will win in packing volume and weight by exchanging it for something else, you will loose in comfort.
Exped Megamat Duo (recent upgrade that’s made a world of a difference)
I have decided to get the exped megamat duo in LW+ size for car camping.
