We got this because we like to travel around with our little family of 3. Most of the time there may not be a spare bed at a friend or family members' place. As this takes up very little space for packing it is easy to bring along. Pump is already part of the mattress so we just have to pull the plug out and turn on the pump. Within minutes we have a queen sized mattress ready for sheets and pillows to sleep. The height is great making it easier to lay down rather than ones near the ground. Great soft top is comfortable and easier to fall asleep than some others we've used. Along with that the cross beams prevent the mattress from caving in like other ones we've had. When it's ready to pack and leave it is just as easy to deflate and pack away in its case. Not only is it great for travel but also good for a last minute spare bed for guests in our home! This thing can support up to 600 lbs!
