This is not an actual "mattress". This is a glorified version of the good old air mattress you stay on when you're at a family reunion and your aunt insists no one needs a hotel so you end up on her floor. I thought this would be a decent purchase for a first apartment. I'd rather sleep on the floor itself. The only reason it's getting two stars instead of one is that it's easy to inflate and deflate with the built-in pump. So, if your nieces and nephews are coming your way this summer for the big reunion, this might be the disappointment you're looking to make them sleep on.
