Easy to unfold and set up. There is a little bit of a learning curve with the foot pump - to hard and it suctions to itself and you have to manually release the pressure.  But once you get the hang of it, it works well.  I purchased this item (2 of them) 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. I purchased both military style Folding Camping Cot by JTANGL and Outdoor Portable Military Cot By ShangQuan WuLiu (similar styles different colors) to place the inflatable cot mattresses on for overnight use.  Deflating and re-rolling is an easy process as well with the large valve on the bottom for emptying.
