Easy to unfold and set up.  I purchased this item for an upcoming family campout and have not spent a night on it yet only about 20 minutes to "test it out" and it seems comfortable to sleep on.  It is easy to close up and put away.  I did purchase an Airlive 2000 Estra Thickness Inflatable Cot Mattress to go on top of it for extra softness.  It has a smaller profile than the Coleman cots we have been using previously and should pack into the vehicle more compactly for easier travel.
