My first bed in a bag experience! Fairly easy to get inside and opened up. (Quite a bit disappointed that the delivery person left my new mattress in my driveway in heavy rain, rather than on my (covered) porch or ringing the doorbell! I was home all day but had no idea the mattress had arrived so the box was thoroughly soaked. The mattress was sealed in 2 layers of plastic so it was perfectly dry, much to my relief.) It inflated fairly quickly -- set it up at 8pm and was sleeping on it in 4 hours. It's very comfortable, although I was expecting it to be a little bit more firm. I was worried about the reviews that said memory foam beds are extra hot -- I don't sleep well when I'm too hot -- but so far it's been comparable heat-wise with my old innerspring mattress. What's awesome about this bed is that I don't even feel my 2 dogs moving around at night! Also, my back hurts a lot less in the morning -- my old mattress was well past its prime.
