I was looking for height, comfort, and a good price. I got all of those, with this! I wake up with no pain and fall RIGHT to sleep. I have this on a metal platform bed, and no sliding. Cover is lovely! Soft. It isn't noiseless, but as far as the motion transfer... You're not going to go on an adventure if someone gets in and out of the bed. I am a light sleeper, and when my SO gets up. I don't even stir. Easy inflation. Cover is easy to put on. It's the nicest bed I have ever owned.
