Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
I used this pad while doing research for four weeks. It is very comfortable but after about two weeks I would wake up on a deflated pad. When I submerged the pad there were around fifteen small punctures. I patched them all but shortly after that the pad started to deflate again. If it was made of a more puncture resistant material I would love this pad. It is useless and unbelievably uncomfortable when not inflated.

When I received this pad, I opened it up and it inflated as it is supposed to. It is lightweight and will fit on my backpack nicely. I blew a little extra air into it, put it on the floor and laid down on it to test it out. I fell asleep. Need I say more?

Since I can't talk about other retailers & their pricing, all I will say is this is a great light weight pad, which includes stuff-sack & repair-kit. The price if very fair, just compare!
