"your arms falling off the pad all night sucks. ... having your arms 3 inches lower than the rest of you on a 20" pad is a crime against humanity."
"it always makes back and hip issues worse."
"Constantly felt like I was falling into space, super unstable. ... it just feels a little like I'm sleeping on top of a yoga ball. I have to stay perfectly still to maintain balance. I don't ever actually fall off of it, but it feels like I'm going to. ... I used my wife's NeoAir for a 5 night trip and never got a good night's sleep. ... Yeah, I tried various levels of inflation. Underinflated was slightly better, but still didn't sleep well."
